Position names

Post by anniewarbucks »

For a while I have been wondering about something. With the number of posts we get a higher position. I already know that but what are these positions named after. I do know that Western Auto Lofts is named after the Western Auto building north of Crown Center on Grand. But all other building positions I have no clue where these are. Can someone clue me in on this.

Perhaps a word is required, for out-of-towners like yourself. The higher post rankings are based on buildings in Kansas City, with the corresponding buildings getting taller as your postcount increases.

Valencia Place is on 47th Street, on the Plaza:

Penntower is at 31st & Broadway.  But, I'm unable to find a photo of it right now.   :?  It's basically just a square, glass cube building.
