Could not have been tallest in KC at the time. SW Bell in background was and is taller. Would like to see the exterior floodlighting mentioned revived. Design was influenced by a rejected entry for the Chicago Tribune design competition. Interesting they tout Ready Mixed Concrete, which was boss Tom...

What is the red cladding? Brick or some cheap stucco panels? Units on the top 3 floors of the north end will have nice views.

On the Sunday night football game they had a promo for next weeks game in KC. Showed what appeared to be a DT view from Wheeler Airport, but the Broadway bridge was replaced by the Paseo Bond bridge!

Maybe the HOA but with the road deck higher on the south, like the current bridge.

Waiting for the off kilter building block effect to be visible.

Many years ago I worked in an office in that building. It and the bank were owned by Charles Price, ambassador to the court of St. James. He also owned a chocolate candy company that I cannot remember the name of even though he sold them to bank employees and building tenants at cost. Got to give hi...

Never thought I would see multiple house listings east of Troost for over a million. 1206 and 1212 east Armour both listed at $1,150,000.00! Beautifully redesigned interiors,must not have been much original left to restore. Cool carriage house ADU.

The 12 floor version, the north end appears wider than the south. Is this an "L" shaped building?

Yea, precast limestone, not sandstone. Sandstone has a lot more orange-red warmth like all the big rock-cliff national parks in the southwest. Limestone is the indigenous hue of this area even if no one can afford to use the real thing anymore. Loews got a weird yellow color that sticks out like a s...

Will anything be done to the interiors? Will it remain income guidelined?

Downtown NKC has retained it compact village feel for decades but any residential languished. Northgate Village is really too far distant to have much impact. Same with new residential distant on the other side of I-35. This will help and maybe get some residential in the empty lots on Burlington an...

Visitors will still refer to it as the airport out in the middle of cornfields but at least it will no longer be a bus station in the middle of a corn field.

For your indoor gardening needs: Virgil's Plant Shop on east side of Troost just past 27th. I think when there is a plant boutique a neighborhood can be considered gentrified. VIRGILSPLANTSHOP.COM

That very rough textured stucco really bothers me. And the varying thicknesses give it a crude "Flinstones" sloppiness.

When is earliest of 2020 census reports?

All Bixbys cut from the same cloth.

The Hall of Waters has been named by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as one of the 11 most endangered historic places in America. It needs more than $16 millions in rehabilitation needs, that Excelsior Springs has no way of funding.

Wider sidewalk with trees much more conducive to boulevard life than an island isolated by traffic lanes.

Amazing restoration. Were there no signs of the great wall of water from the dam collapse on top of the mountain?

Construction guy that was working on 3507 Gillham told me they were cutting up the apartments into smaller units. Was in years ago and they were the size of a large condo with cool old woodwork and columns.
