The apartment building going up across the street from the Newbern is showing a really large footprint in comparison to the historic bldngs. It is going to be the fat sister.

The wall of plastic greenery on Main seems sorta tacky. A few years of freeze-thaw and UV rays will "kill" it.

The top(windowless) half went up in 1971.

East of Troost is already happening, Not much visible yet, but lots of homes, apartments and vacant lots being picked up by investors. Best bargains won't last long.

Corn oil?

Henry(Harry) Cobb, architect of the Fed Reserve and also 2600 Grand has passed. He designed both buildings as frames for the Liberty Memorial and not as visual competitors

Vertical glass planks being installed on ground and first floor of old Midwest Hotel. Reminiscent of Bloch @ Nelson-Atkins.

He rang door bell of friends a few doors down and introduced himself. Wanted to calm any fears that his larger than life personality meant larger than life neighborhood presence.

That was the KC Ballet but they found a less expensive alternative.

Glass starting to wrap the the staircase tower is very nice. Is going to make it look like a towering crystal shard.

Like the views of Muni Aud from the SE. Will never be able to see the entire E & S sides in one frame again. What a great and ever functional masterpiece

A regional history museum in the north loop on Main. The exhibits going in Corinthian Hall will only be a brief outline. The old exhibits only went from prehistory to the end of the 19th century. The renovated museum will re-open the third floor, but the first will not contain any history other than...

You are correct. I was only seeing it as the 6th St exit. I wonder what the traffic count is comparing traffic coming around that bend going to the river crossing or continuing onto 35 east.

I don't know if I am looking at it correctly, but it looks like northbound 35 at the NW corner of the bluffs has the right lane as the through lane and the 6th St/Broadway exit on the left?

The Opus brick color and blockiness of the building better suit Westport than the last iteration of the Westport Bank except for its large scale. That last remodel of the bank was done in the early days of the ressurection of Westport from a tired part of town with hippie head shops into a seventies...

Hearing in the House in Jeff City Feb 25 on republican bill to strip the mail in vote provisions out of the Transportation Development District Statute.

It would make so much more sense for Gillham Rd between 31st and Linwood to be called Gillham Plaza and vice versa. I guess it would take a city wide vote to do that like the Paseo/MLK counterrevolution.

From that vantage point with 4 Light the Strata would not be visible.

After living in a wood frame apartment for 5 years I vow never to live in a wood framed multi tenant residential building again. Only concrete. In fact the whole experience has caused me to forswear communal living to decamp to single family housing east of Troost. I am tired of having to endure ani...

Thanks, did not know they had changed plans(while still retaining the name). Still a great project.
