Re: Lee's Summit baseball stadium and mixed-use center

Living in Lee's Summit since I was 4, I can say that we could use a convention center of some kind.  Nothing like the OP Convention Center...but a small one would be nice.  The location would be ok, I guess.  I at least like the fact that we are not sprawling too bad...as of yet.  I need more inform...

Re: Westport Flea Market GONE?

Call me crazy, but I never understood the draw to that place.  Personally, I think it's blah.  And with all the hype about it's world famous burgers, I wasn't that impressed.  But HOOTERS?  Hmm...let it stay the WP Flea if that's as good as we can do.

Re: You heard it here first.....Raphael Hotel bought out

That's interesting.  How was the restaurant at the Raphael?  I hear good and bad things on various restaurant rating websites...  I think the owners of the Philips are doing a great job as far as preservation of a high class hotel.  Good luck to ya.

Re: mickey's irish pub: a pretentious bar in a Lenexa strip mall?

Hmm, along those lines...I drove by the west side of Cheesecake Factory on the plaza, and saw a limo that had a large ad stating "Free Courtesy Rides to The Drink"  For those that might not know, The Drink is a swanky "upperish" scale bar west of the plaza.  I went in the other n...

Old Building on Paseo

I drove by the old Christian Hospital on Paseo today, and noticed quite a commotion.  I always thought it was a neat old building.  It was also the birth place of former KC Mayor Ilus Davis (1917 - 1996).  He was two term mayor from 1963 - 1971.  The building was surrounded by Walton Construction eq...
