This was a wild land. There was nothing to take care of. In fact, where appropriate, a lot of park land could be returned to a wild status. Maintenance money could be saved. There could have been some improvement if there were future demand, such as hiking trails. Some of Kessler's urban masterpiec...

Nice article on the Rock Island Bridge from Startland News. Looks like progress is being made on the levee trail and The Yards phase II as well - looking good.

This is particularly disappointing; I was looking forward to this as one of the flagship redevelopments along the Main Street extension. Now "maybe" an event space and Goodwill moving next door; no new construction at all. Biz Journal mentions Exact had difficulty finding hotel or food hal...

Thanks

Big-time playoff match between Sporting and STL City incoming. Didn't see that coming at the beginning of the season.

Strange and kind of frustrating that the first game of the series is Sunday at 9 PM CST. Will it be broadcast locally or only on Apple TV/MLS Pass?

moderne wrote: ↑Fri Oct 20, 2023 11:29 am Too bad. Is the Henderson House included in the Jazz Hill development?

It was not involved in the prior plans or HTC application (under Maxus)

FYI: The Sonoco should be carrying 93 octane gas, which is good as the nearest others are BP in Platte Ridge and Smithville. Will be happy not to have to travel as far, as the BP is way more expensive than Smithville for the 93. I believe the former Pour Boys/Shell (now World Liquor) at North Oak a...

Can someone identify which spaces these are going into downtown? Don’t remember the Mixx there LOL, because they were never open. Such a waste for what should have been a successful local tenant downtown. Anyway the Mixx space was under the clock tower and faced the interior central patio near H&am...

Unfortunately no, and I'm kicking myself. Just didn't feel comfortable whipping out the camera in someone's home.

The woodwork and leaded glass windows were stunning. Heavy Mackintosh Arts & Crafts influence.

Did anyone else make it to the NE Historic Homes Tour last weekend? I went Saturday morning and was impressed with the turnout, the coffee/pastry truck and tents, and (as always) the dedicated and passionate neighbors/tour volunteers. Felt lucky to finally see the interior of 3616 Gladstone; surely ...

You may already be aware, but County Road Ice House in P&L is a full-service Joe's KC BBQ downtown...

Assuming this will be a limited access/limited menu deal.

KC needs to improve the cell phone lot. It's cramped and too small and feels too much like an afterthought. Tonight I needed to park in the overflow lot, the regular lot was full. The overflow lot was almost full and cars were also parked along the Paris Street exit just off into the grass waiting ...

I'm actually more curious about NKC now than before (although not for a ballpark). It was very clearly never a serious bid for the Royals (at least as presented in the pie-in-the-sky renderings obliterating all of downtown NKC), but nonetheless the Merriman's have in fact amassed a huge amount of la...

Yep, now the real work begins. Seattle is going to spread itself so thin like the Twin Cities on team support. Very ambitious but neither city can support NFL, MLB, NBA, WNBA, MLS, & NHL all at once, Seattle has an NWSL team too. It's crazy. ?? Seattle is a growing metro of 4M+, one of the weal...

Agree, very good news, deep pockets and high-end retail connections. Hoping for smooth due diligence and then we learn more soon.

The trolling also extended to the gameday emails I received - lots of “St. Louis City vs. kansas”, “the original soccer capital of America”, etc. This is lovely and makes me happy :lol: Let's get this rivalry heated up! Folks in STL are definitely in love with the new team, there are CITY flags fly...

Thanks for the pics and update Chris, much appreciated. As presented/conceptually, this looks fantastic. I don't have any problem closing Walnut IF they can ensure Grand stays open. I actually like the idea behind the event pavilion placement at the center of the old Walnut intersection, near the fo...

I have faith the other components of the development will be built here; they have well-known and trusted players committed on the F&B side and the Neon Museum is also a lock. That said, I do think it will be unfortunate if they open the Wheel to the public before the development is at or near f...

Agreed on the flat roof outside the connector. Someone earlier mentioned a living garden there would be cool. Agreed with that Yes, green roof! Some low-maintenance, properly regional prairie grasses and wildflowers. As I mentioned before, this seems like pretty low-hanging fruit, especially in a L...

Agreed. Connecting to cliff drive will be a huge improvement Connecting to Cliff Drive would be awesome. But, how would this be accomplished? The new connector from Columbus Park to Cliff Drive (under I-35), while relatively close distance-wise to a proposed Lydia Ave connection from Berkley, is ac...
