Re: 1822 Main Redevlopment
If it doesn’t risk your job, you should post them. I’ve found that if there is a groundswell of negative reaction from the public early in the design process it is much easier to get changes than after much work has already been done.jasty5 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2019 8:25 am I was able to find some preliminary renderings.

I’m tempted to track down the architect and grill them on the design...

Does the drawing show they plan to tear down the former bank building facade and replace it with the parking podium?jasty5 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2019 8:25 am I was able to find some preliminary renderings.

I have no doubt that the Burns and Mac servers log who access what files and when. No real reason to risk it at this point.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2019 6:08 pm unrelated I see there is a kc rumors board that allows anonymous posts.

Tell them to save the bank facade! This sounds like a somewhat underwhelming project, but it would gain my support if there was a bit of preservation involved.

Re: 1822 Main Redevlopment
What's the ruling on those sconces? Authentic? Tacky add-on?

Tacky add-ons. If they were original the wiring would have been behind the stone.

You can also see that the wings were just welded on.

Re: 1822 Main Redevlopment
it doesn't apply here, but curious: might you see external wiring for a sconce that was converted from pre-electricity fuel (presumably gas)?

In a 1925 building? Unlikely.

Re: 1822 Main Redevlopment
I remember dancing at that location in the early 'aughts. I think it was the second Tootsies location? Can't remember, only recall that it was 2001-2002.

Re: 1822 Main Redevlopment
Wasn't that the Dixie Belle? Or am I confused.

Dixie Bell was in the Rieger. 1822 was Tootsies.
