Re: Perceptions of the Midwest

The original usage of the term middle west was the middle belt of everything west of Appalachia so west VA, Kentucky , Tennessee , Missouri , and Kansas (which then went all the way to Denver ).. If that is the case shouldn't the St. Louis Arch be in Denver then? The Arch is to be the Gateway to th...

Re: Taco Republic in Westwood

I hope this remodel and the new Walmart Grocery store will rub off on the Roeland Park corner (SW corner). Those are the best buildings at that node, yet continue to languish. I also keep hearing from old-timers (sorry....hippies from the '70s) that the building just north of this taco place was th...

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar

A just wondering question one thing that's common for visitors is to get turned around in downtown. KC's not as bad as Chicago, I'm good at navigating and got way turned around a few times, but it's still possible if you're in the middle of the crossroads to lose your way. If you're at the Sprint C...

spot on article here: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-08-30/why-barbecue-doesn-t-travel-well.html I never thought I’d say this, but I miss Arthur Bryant’s original barbecue sauce.

Re: Westport's fate post-P&L

or even Katz/NYC (kosher style deli) in Westport there's no market for a kosher deli in KC. A place that's similar, perhaps, but Kosher? won't work. the closest thing to a Kosher deli that KC had was the subway next to Children's Mercy South/The Convention Center. But they started carrying cheese a...

Re: Westport's fate post-P&L

Delis are a fading genre in NYC. Times change. Well not as prevalent as every functional hood now wants a variety of ethnic eats. But many NYC hoods still have a counter deli or two. My brother lived in Brooklyn Heights until recently and had several above average delis, he's now in Williamsburg an...
