I studied the site from Charlotte bridge this weekend. I question how enjoyable it will be given the very active train traffic but having a nice long linear activity route will be nice. I'm about tired of car close calls on my runs.

No First Friday in June. Galleries focused online and by appointment. FF was never a money maker for them anyway.

Grunauer reopens for carry out on May 15, limited menu. PT's Coffee reopened a few days ago, limited menu. Mildred's is hinting at reopening. 18th Street Fashion show promoting an October 3 date.

I wondered how long that guy would hold out. It’s still open and doing business. Wonder what the plan is.
At one point, I remember seeing the place pretty much entirely emptied out. Everything has been back for many months (probably 1-2 years now).
The new calverts owners just sold one of their other downtown properties.

Other side of main but....

Tracks 215 LLC asking KCMO to vacate the old walnut-main ROW easement. "Tracks 215, LLC recently purchased the fee simple interest in this property as part of a first phase planned redevelopment known as “The Podium” which is part of a multifamily, office, retail and hotel mixed use project. "

The main street viaduct should have buildings up to it everywhere they can fit

Yes, it would be great to have some buildings that open to it on the east side and more on the west side.

Do we know who's really behind "1501 KCMO LLC"? I've been told who, but wanted to see if anyone else knows before putting potentially untrue information out there.

However they don’t have it listed on their website so maybe they are holding it for someone else

They also did the Superior Bowin hq building in Crossroads. A friend worked on an idea with a national developer for the site when it was still for sale but I do not think it advanced.
