There are some parts of older KC where few (if any) houses are left on the blocks. If they ever get redeveloped, they should add alleys for the new houses when terrain allows. Apartments over alley garages would be ideal too. I wish the city would require them in new developments on raw land within ...

Reusing buildings over and over and not resorting to throwaway culture. It recognizes that construction ...

I can't believe anyone is proposing new office buildings right now.

There are only two buildings downtown that I'm aware of that have sheep heads adorning them. Aladdin and the Rialto Building at 9th and Grand.
