Re: 95 Metcalf South update and former Sears

Drove through last evening, Texas Roadhouse is open and quite busy.

QT now has pumps in place, but it looks like the shelves are still empty inside.

No sign of any work being done on the other sites at the location.

Re: 95 Metcalf South update and former Sears

Interesting, that actually makes sense from what can be seen on the site - nothing really happening on the north and west sides, but it looks like they are demolishing on the east side - but no good view of it.

Re: 95 Metcalf South update and former Sears

Whataburger update: looks like the concrete pad is finished, some lumber elements stacked on site - I'd expect walls to go up shortly.

Old Sears main building: they seem to be doing some work, although not clear what exactly. That is all now closed off so can't drive around for a better view.

Re: Mystery Kansas 'Mega Project'

At least they finally found a use for the Sunflower site - that's been an ugly mess for decades.

I'm a North Overland Park resident that works very late.
After midnight you have Taco Bell until 1 or 2am.
After that its Pancho's or QuickTrip.

Re: 95 Metcalf South update and former Sears

Drive by the other day. Old Sears is gutted - a few large holes in the east and south sides (had zero windows except on the south side). (Well, it did have the first floor display windows.)

Chick-fil-a is open.

No other obvious changes on the site.

Chick-fil-a is progressing - building is up.

The former automotive center is a pile of rubble now.

Re: Quiktrip

Talked to some folks at the other 87th street QT and they think the new one will open in early August. That seems plausible from the current progress on the site.

There is some activity at the site (91st & Metcalf). Fences are up and there is some demolition on the old front of Whole Foods.

Re: Do you have or plan to get Google Fiber?

I currently have the 1g Fiber (1g down/1g up) + TV + phone service.

I was just checking their website: I can get 2g Fiber (2g down/1g up) but no options for TV or phone service.

Re: Downtown Overland Park

The one thing they are missing is a grocery store - the closest is Price Chopper at Antioch - not really walkable.
