I didn’t realize B & B was already putting their name on the Mainstreet Theatre. Anyone remember when they are slated to open-might rent it out for a “Dune” watch party! The new movie is supposed to come out in October.

Are they keeping the blade sign at the front entrance? Haven't been downtown in 6 months since still WFH.

I seem to recall when the Mainstreet was renovated it got historic tax credits that required it reinstall the blade sign. But I could be wrong about that.

Cool. Thanks. I need to take a drive through downtown and check out some of the new construction. Our RTW keeps getting pushed out, mostly due to the Delta variant now. Might not be going back until next year now.

Sounds pretty common. Most of your lunch haunts are still around.

Ha, that's good to know. I've lost probably 8lbs from just not eating out everyday, whether Jason's Deli, Pickleman's or Jimmy John's...lol. I eat mostly Healthy Choice meals now for lunch and cut out the soda. Occasionally order a sammich from Pickleman's here in Waldo. No coffee shops around 1KCP anymore right? Heard both Kaldi's and Starbucks (lighthouse) both closed :(

Oh yeah PTs. I forget about them.

Spokes is also a good coffee shop if more in the financial district.

Vested is decent but on 8th. KC has a really strong culture of local coffee shops

What is really needed is a really good diner/cafeteria that also serves a variety of coffees. Think something like the Forum Cafeteria downtown, Myron Green's Cafeteria, Wolferman's Cafeteria, or McClintock's in the olden days. Ideally, they would be configured to also have a takeout window facing the sidewalk.

A mix between a coffee shop, QT and a Luby's could work well downtown.

I've also wondered if it's time to revive the automat.

Funny you say that. I've thought about an Automat-type situation coming back too.

It might actually work well in hospital cafeterias. They usually close around 5 or 7 pm. It's vending machines after that for people working and being with family members at the hospital. There's a lot of dishes you could prepare in advance, and have them in the box -- especially if you can refrigerate the serving boxes.

For those who don't know what we are talking about:

Hospitals would be perfect for the model. I can see an automat working well as a service like if you show up at the ER at 2am and you're waiting for several hours there's meal vending in/near the waiting room.
