Kansas offering to finance 100% both stadiums with STAR bonds. How can either team pass this up?

Jimmy and Mary's was originally on the corner where they are taking down the sign. Davey's was to the south and there was an interior door connecting the two. When J & M's closed, Daveys expanded into that space. This is making me think of the turkey tetrazzini at Jimmy and Mary's. It was heaven...

Got to have some skilled carpenters to do that work even if modern technology makes it easier to duplicate the gingerbread. Too bad the house is in an isolated sketchy Appalachia neighborhood.

Could this guy's opinion be colored by the Bravo failure?

Most of the housing stock on Strawberry Hill is very small and does not have off street parking. There are some larger houses between 6th and 7th which is now considered part of SH but was formerly Splitlog Hill. The large homes were built by Wyandotte indians who became prosperous from sale of lands.

A very cold weather super bowl coming. Stadium designed in KC.

Delta Quad Holdings that has owned the bldng since 2014 being sued by a Denver company. The city special use permit needed to obtain building permit for hotel will expire in 3 months. Look for nothing to happen here until the building changes hands.

Going to take a lot of money. Most alleys are over a century old and no one knows how many miles of alleys there are. City at present is even unable to replace curbs and sidewalks at an acceptable rate

What needs to get done? It is not like the airport terminal where it just was not functional and had to be replaced.

Thanks for the additional research. Love the photo with the hazy proto skyline in the distance dominated by the old Board of Trade tower and the dome of the federal court house(wish we still had both).

KC Star has article about a now vanished neighborhood that was generally in the vicinity of the now gone Chouteau Courts housing project and the I-29/35 freeway. Predominantly black, mostly substandard building. Just hard to imagine now a seamless city from the River Market through Columbus Park int...

Are these walk ups or are they required to have an elevator?

I can see that. Maybe if it had some pastel color it would be sorta budget neo Miami Beach.
Why did they have to make the facade design asymetrical though?

Calling arranging aluminum panels vertically "art deco design" is quite a stretch. At the expense of losing a window on each floor.

Young man, there's no need to feel down.

Love the image of the crumbling walls juxtaposed with the shining futurism of the TWA rocket and Bartle Sky Stations.

I learned to swim at that Y. Still can smell the chlorine in my olfactory memories. Glad they saved some of the tile work from the pool.

Future 21st century McClure Flats.

Not in a renovated apartment building along Armour Blvd.

Is 31st the only major intersection where both sides of track are complete? It is nice knowing at least one intersection will not be open one day, closed the next.
