Lucky Boys will be the name of the bar in the former Grandma's Bar space. 'Divey,' yes, but a cultivated dive. Some Westport lifers and art dudes are in charge. Think 70's motorcycle cults, pool hall babes, contemporary trustafarian dirtbaggery. A stabbing or two would enhance the vibe.

great post? Or GREATEST post?

They do get full props for having Alice featured so prominently on their page though.

I didn't stop to read any of the details, but am curious if anyone knows if the hearing is regarding development/remodel of the building or demolition. It really is a nice building with nice street frontage, but sits in a quiet corner of the bottoms.

The rezoning was approved and applicant will come back later once they have building plans put together.

MCM Co. Inc., a Cleveland-based development firm, has closed on the former Abernathy Furniture complex, which includes six contiguous buildings in Kansas City's West Bottoms.

Dating to 1889, the brick-and-timber warehouse buildings are located southwest of Ninth and Liberty streets in the historic district, which has been experiencing a re-emergence due to recent redevelopment efforts.

There will be approximately 8,000 square feet of first floor “storefront” amenity space, which will be wireless throughout and will include a state of the art fitness center, lounge with commercial grade coffee service, game & leisure room, and leasing office. The project will also have a “Bike Shop”, which will have bike repair tools and premium bike storage. A resort style pool, swim up bar, outdoor TVs, wet deck, and an “outdoor living room” inclusive of fire pits, commercial grade grills (& BBQ Smoker), and outdoor furniture. A dog walk and grooming area will also be part of the project.
