Westport
Re: Westport
Did I hear correctly this past week that the Historical Society put ALL of Westport on its list of "endangered buildings" or did I dream that?

Re: Westport
I haven't seen where the boundary extends to yet, but I hope they included the Mattress Firm strip mall. It housed a Blockbuster at one point. It doesn't get more historical than that.

Re: Westport
Selling alcohol is probably the only business that is truly historic.
Could probably sell the same whiskey as they did in the 1830s
Re: Westport
Thank you Fang! I totally agree that this does not prioritize individual buildings that are in the most need. So stupid to put all of Westport on an endangered list.

Re: Westport
TBF they also put almost all of Kansas City on the list:
-18th and Vine
-Local Modern Architecture
-The Epperson House
-Westport
-Churches
-Closed KCMO Schools
-Neighborhood Commercial Buildings
-Midtown Apartment Buildings
-The Plaza
-The Northeast
-The Sauer Castle
There are two actual structures on that list.

It has a history of being endangered by floods.

Re: Westport
A fire at a different historic Westport strip mall.

They didn’t have working sprinklers. It must be hard to keep these old buildings up to modern code.

Re: Westport
Extra security starting today for Friday and Saturday from 11pm-3am
https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/a ... 42645.html
We will know screening "works but doesn't work" if people just change their time or day of the week

This list is incredible. It’s worse than airport security.DaveKCMO wrote: ↑Sat Sep 01, 2018 7:19 am The comprehensive list of banned items: http://westportkcmo.com/wp-content/uplo ... ebsite.pdf
One that will get them is people they want people to provide proof an animal is a service dog. This is hubris at its worse. The laws are so clear that this isn’t allowed to the point there’s problems with fake service animals.
Also notice bikes aren’t allowed at all. Bicyclists are just going to take their business elsewhere
