sign in the window indicates 'yes'. also looks like there will be an outdoor space out the back, facing 19th.

i don't know who the third and final tenant will be for that space, but it's an abbott properties project. i think a tech firm is in the westernmost stall. amazing rif raf giraffe mural on the south facade, if you didn't catch that.

Block Real Estate is now marketing the center chunk as a single parcel of 5.77 acres, about two city blocks.
Who owns the surface parking directly north of the Firestone building? I would love to see all of these gobbled up by mixed-use buildings. They're the biggest eyesore and waste of space in the. Crossroads (besides all the single story industrial bullshit in the east Crossroads).

Assurant owns the entire block Grand to McGee, 19th to 20th. This was the parking lot that gained the shared parking agreement.

KC Assurant was bought by Sun LIfe. Maybe they have a different approach to real estate.

angled parking is being added to the east side of oak through the crossroads in early august. this work is being done by city crews with local dollars, so the chance of it actually happening is strong. i think this will net about 14 spaces to the current on-street count.

spoke too soon. just received notice of a liquor license application at 1805 locust for "grad school" ("Full Liquor by the Drink with a Sunday License" -- aka "tavern" aka "bar").

they should have applied for a restaurant license, if that's the case. it's a lot less worrisome for consenters.

So we'll have another 'do as we say (less hours, no music, etc) or you don't get a license' sitch?
