Misc Crossroads News

Meanwhile, in other news.........

Say, has anyone seen KCMODave today?

http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/article633226.html

I like this story. It makes our city more colorful.

Say the burleau (sp?) paper building at Truman and walnut has a for sale sign on it. Great old building.

[WSPanic]

Saw new stirring and signage in the Frank's space?

The hot dog joint by the freeway?

Yeah, franks closed about 2 months ago.

The Mixing Bowl Noshery is the new place. I went for lunch today - They do breakfast, lunch and dinner. I had some really decent chicken fingers and some relatively underwhelming mac/cheese. They seem to do everything fresh. Burgers, sandwiches and salads seem to be what's happening for lunch.

They're open 7 days - until 8p Mon-Sat and 5p on Sundays.

Here's the Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/themixingbowlnoshery

The proprietors appear to be "Peterman's" - any scoop from Repete??

It's such an odd spot. Feels like nothing could make it there for some reason.

hammerpress may be moving down the boulevard, next to the noshery.

[grovester]

That would certainly help stretch the block. They are a good shop.

Nica's closed.

Am not into heavy food but thought it might work for those who do go for NOLA heavy, oh well. They had a bad start with the overly complicated menu. Breakfast was very heavy too with overcooked eggs. Like the long narrow space. Would like to see Colby/Bluestem or Jonathan Justice of Justice Drugstore move into this space and build up the already present James Beard circles in Xroads. Or a small eats/cocktail joint like Julep might do well here.

I never understood him....his brunch was one of the busiest and best downtown and he shut it down. Weird guy. That space is prime for a good concept.

[earthling]

Sounds like he lost interest in running a full service restaurant and instead plans to focus on his small counter joints. Maybe having more success with low overhead.

It lasted two years longer then I predicted. So, someone must have like the 'do you want Mac N'Cheese with that, or mashed potatoes' concept. Bring on something good. That's a good location.

[DaveKCMO]

bring back shiraz!

They had actually ditched that weird concept over the last year and just went to Cajun/New Orleans menu. It was pretty good. I like that style of cooking and there's not a lot of great cajun in town. It wasn't off the charts good, but I love that space and the food/drink menu was good enough.

The menu was still a bit complicated in that you chose your own sauce and they still had that mashed potato thing on there. Still, I ate there a few weeks ago and we all loved our food. Sad to see it go. It is a terrific location though, can't imagine its empty for long.

key construction closed their satellite office at 1811 baltimore. treanor architects will move in from their smaller space on walnut.

[KCDowntown]

Anyone know anything about this permit that showed up today? It is a New/Additional Building Plans Review for a project entitled 'Nara Kansas City - Phase II'.

interesting. my assumption is that it is new construction across the alley from 1617 main (current nara). that large parking lot is owned by nicholson group, who also owns:

- 1617 main and the small parking lot on the north
- the mainmark building and the small parking lot to the north
- the parking lot across main street south of anton's
- the most of the block of the twa building (it's garage, the globe building, the lot to the north to that, cellar rat, and the lot south of that, too)
- the old "pitch" building and the lot to the south of that

[DaveKCMO]

system snafu.

the project is incorrectly named in KIVA. it has nothing to with the crossroads, per city planning.

Oh man I'm pretty excited about this one....we really need to fix up 18th street to bridge xroads/east xroads/vine....wide sidewalk, bike lane, etc.

[kcjak]

New grocery store for the Crossroads...sounds somewhat promising.
