Re: Parlor - 1707 Locust
A food “market” was part of the original plan for Grand Place.

Re: Parlor - 1707 Locust
I would much prefer something like Reading Terminal Market (Philadelphia) rather than another Parlor type food hall (it would have to be on a much smaller scale of course). Or even the Ferry Building in San Francisco. Probably not enough foot traffic in the area for that but I would love to see something like that in KC. City Market is similar but kind of overly cramped.Cratedigger wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2025 10:28 amImagine if that’s still in the cards it would have less of a focus on the bar though right?
Most of the people I know go to parlor for the drinks more than the food

Re: Parlor - 1707 Locust
Definitely similarish. I guess like comparing Philly and KC generally, Reading Terminal is just scaled up and densified (and all indoors).

All the restaurants in city market can be inside when the weather is poor.

It’s interesting the VeLa pointed to crime as an example of a day to day issue making it harder to develop downtown

Re: Parlor - 1707 Locust
Just a thought I had the other day; currently Missouri is about a 50/50 split between urban and rural. Rural voters are significantly leaning toward Republican, urban voters are more likely Democrat but it's a pretty close split. State house Republicans know if we have dramatic growth in KC and STL proper, the voting rolls of the democrats will increase. Therefore, they have no incentive to enact policies that make those cities more livable and business friendly.

Re: Parlor - 1707 Locust
interesting thought, but I am guessing that the vast amount of dollars being donated to campaigns are still coming from the Urban areas where the majority of the businesses revenue is. I'm sure there is plenty of rural dollars flowing but in general I'm guessing the big donors live in the Metros of KC & STL. So they would have to walk a fine line of sorts. But it is no secret that reps from the rural areas could care less about KC and STL and they use that to appeal to the rural voters for sure, regardless of where the money comes from.shinatoo wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 11:42 am Just a thought I had the other day; currently Missouri is about a 50/50 split between urban and rural.

Re: Parlor - 1707 Locust
Sure, but the middle farmer's market bit isn't also indoors and jammed full of food stalls, that's kinda what I meant.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 10:05 am All the restaurants in city market can be inside when the weather is poor.
