Building owned by the Surface family, who also rent to Border and Double Shift. I guess that explains their Brewers Row parking lot renovation.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Sun Dec 29, 2019 10:12 pm Nimble Brewing Company - 1735 Oak

For a second the description sounded like it could be a hostel but sounds like it leans toward an AirBNB. Downtown could use a hostel or some form of cheapish beds for rent, cheaper than a downtown AirBNB room. Can get an AirBNB room for as low as $30 in midtown but not downtown.

Goodwill Selling Strategic East Crossroads Property on 18th Streetbeautyfromashes wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 12:47 amThey will not be renovating. The choices are sell and move or stay in the building as-is. But, the sale discussions are very, very preliminary if they materialize at all. Even the discussion is a good sign for that area and the future of East Crossroads.
https://cityscenekc.com/goodwill-sellin ... th-street/Goodwill is selling its former office, training and warehouse facility at 18th and Campbell, opening a strategic redevelopment opportunity between the East Crossroads and 18th & Vine Jazz District.
...
The four-story, 78,000 square-foot building being offered for sale originally was built in 1923 and had an addition completed in 1977. No price has been determined.

Have been in S Florida, noting what's hot down here in terms of restaurant trends. KC is keeping up with the foodie hall thing (Parlour is well above avg and Iron District is unique), plant-based restaurants of course hot now, mocktails are in and many places come up with mixed bowls. Nothing that stands out but one fish that I like in Key West - hogfish. Not seeing anything that KC is lacking but downtown could use a good quality Indian restaurant and a char-bowl counter within a foodie hall.

Re: Misc Crossroads News
Has anyone heard of the people who own the Crossroads KC outdoor music venue opening a new music venue within the crossroads? I keep hearing rumors but haven't seen anything solid.

Re: Misc Crossroads News
Yes. Rumor is that it would move to 20th & Vine. With residential moving into East Crossroads, it's inevitable. Here's a clue:

Re: Misc Crossroads News
Not sure how I feel about moving the Crossroads music venue. That stage along with Grinders was basically the main driver for all of the activity/development in East Cross roads. I’d love for 18th Street over time Vine and Jazz District to be a vibrant corridor. However going South on Vine from 18th St is rough. Rough in terms buildings, sidewalks, etc. I mean there is a Motorcycle Club venue, then a bunch of vacant run down buildings and empty lots. There is opportunity but it’s going to take a lot because you have to connect to Jazz District seamlessly to East Crossroads first then extend it South to 2000 Vine, IMO.

Re: Misc Crossroads News
There are lots of redevelopment plans for that area. It may not make sense now, but it could help drive the redevelopment in that area.

Re: Misc Crossroads News
What’s the main catalyst behind moving the venue? I know they’ve received growing noise complaints over the years but I’m sure there’s other reasons.
When it comes to outdoor music venues, it’s not a great one in modern times but has its simplistic charms. Feels like a true backyard concert with porta johns a beer shack etc. I’d just hate to see them forced out since they’ve been there so long.

That's very valuable property now, might just be a financial decision.

Re: Misc Crossroads News
The ruins vibe of Workhouse Castle will become a great small concert venue. Hopefully it won't be damaged though.

Re: Misc Crossroads News
This is true and to be honest, most concert revenue isn't made off ticket sales, it's the concessions, vip upgrades etc. Current location is likely a struggle to really generate revenue.

No one is being forced out. This is all financial.

Re: Misc Crossroads News
If this had happened anytime before this past decade, this building would be gone. Glad we finally have the momentum to save buildings.
