Here in Westport today, Mario's Delicatessan (sp?) has brown paper taped over its windows and a 'Closed' sign on the door.  Redecorating or deceased?  Anybody know?

Wow, that must be a huge commute for you!

Yes, it takes me 40 mins under normal traffic and weather conditions.

On days like this when there is ice, it takes me closer to a full hour.

Fortunately, I "go against traffic" both ways.  It is absolutely staggering to see thousands upon thousands of headlights heading west from MO into KS in the morning and the same sight going east in the evenings.

In November they were running weird/shortened hours due to renovations, so I hope this is just the finishing part of that. I would hate to lose that place! Love them grinders.

Ok, I walked past Mario's today and a 'Remodeling- Open January 22nd' printout has replaced the 'Closed' sign.  Phew.

Before McCoy's in Westport it was The Harris House. (and maybe something else)
The New Stanley
Before World Market there was Chuck's Steakhouse followed by Lynn Dickeys.

A special moment of silence for Torres, Kiki's and Norms Zesto Burgers (already mentioned)

My favorite munchie attack place from the 80's.... Popeyes at 39th and Broadway.
Classic Cup in Westport (good riddance - cigarette butt salad)
Before XO - Guitars and Cadillacs
Nick's RR Restaurant on Main.

And does anybody else remember the place downtown that had the huge pork tenderloin sandwiches? It was a little mom and pop place on Grand I think?

Guitars and Cadillacs! Woohoo! I remember the one in Olathe as being the first place I could illegally drink underage. I believe that building is now OklahomaJoe's!

It was the "Westport Brewing Co." in between. I believe they brewed a few crappy beers at first, but then gave it up to pursue being a full time dance club. It was awful.

I was at johnny dares the night girls gone wild was there. It was lame! It was overcrowded, and the girls were not allowed to show much because of the alcohol.
XO was way overpriced, and the people seemed real clickish, so we didn't stay long.
Kellys was ok, seemed kinda slow. people were nice tho.

There used to be a place called the Santa Fe Saloon... wasn't it also in that building?  This would have been around 1990-1991.

When and why did Strouds close?

When and why did Strouds close?

December 30th, 2005.

The city made them close so they could widen the street.

the northland location is still open and they're searching for a location out south...of course it won't replace the character of the original. 

[mean]

I would love to see them move to midtown.

They're currently looking MUCH further south.  Last rumor I heard was around the Martin City neighborhood.

That was Ross's Grill.  First in the 1300 Block of Grand and then is was on Baltimore before it faded away.  Man it hurts to remember how good that was.

[loftguy]

Anyone in favor of a new Stouds locating near Grinders?

Better make that apple butter last.

According to the paper they officially pulled the plug on Stephenson's this morning.
