The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority wants to link the hopping 18th & Vine Jazz District with the Crossroads Arts District with new development along 18th Street. KCATA is seeking proposals to develop a vacant two-acre property at the northeast corner of 18th and Troost Avenue.
Hopping? Really? It's apparent no one at the Business Journal actually goes to 18th and Vine.

The chef/owner is a fantastic restaurateur and supporter of the arts.
Authorizing the Director of General Services to execute a lease agreement Ira & Anita Moore d/b/a Soirée Southern Steakhouse at 1512 E. 18th Street in the 18th & Vine Historic District; authorizing the Director of General Services to provide funding for tenant finish improvements in the amount of $300,000.00; and recognizing this ordinance as having an accelerated effective date.
I wonder why they put some of these things over there. Many things in that area fail and close soon after opening. I think these places would be better in safer areas like the Plaza.

This is her new venture, more upscale.
Vandals cause serious flood damage at Buck O’Neil Education and Research Center in KC (Former Paseo YMCA)
The new Buck O'Neil Education and Research Center was hit by vandals Friday, causing serious damage.
Police say around 11 a.m. Friday an alarm went off. They said someone broke into the historic, multi-purpose center and cut a water pipe on the second floor. It caused extensive flooding to the first floor and basement. See footage of the damage in the video above.

wonder what inspirational words the late GREAT John "Buck" O'Neil would have for us after this tragedy. I don't know but, I imagine something like this: Good will always conquer evil, and, maybe this evil can be made good again too..........................Uh huh ! He always inspires me!
How do you connect the Crossroads to 18th and Vine? KC agency looks for ideas
The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority issued a request for proposals, or RFP, that closed Monday to gauge firms' interest in redeveloping some — or maybe all — of the agency's land near Troost Avenue and 18th Street, about halfway between the east reaches of the Crossroads Arts District and the historic 18th and Vine Jazz District.
