There was a streetcar there. When I get back to my NJ home; I'll have to go to my library and give you the name of the old KC Streetcar book.. I bought it in the late 1980's or early 1990's. I'll go back there tomorrow.

Two new-build hotels along 9th Street in 100 years. This and the Hyatt House. 9th Street used to be the hotel district in the 1880s-1920s because of the streetcar lines on 8th and 9th streets from Union Depot in the West Bottoms.

This photo shows the streetcar rails in front of the Savoy Hotel.

Anyone know how long those smaller structures have been gone that are on the site where this new hotel will be built?

[FangKC]

The Yeager Hotel (east of the Savoy) still exists in the 1940 Jackson County tax photos. I think the newest car in that photo of the Savoy Hotel is a 1950 Chevrolet.

More tracks. This one shows streetcar tracks on Wyandotte too.

I do not have that one -- YET. ..But I will.

I asked the Frau to look it up for me. My "Kansas City" section.. "Where the Streetcar Stops"

https://www.amazon.com/Where-Streetcar- ... B0006EVB7Q

The feature of the city was the tunnel and trestle from 12th street (?) down to the West Bottoms. Evidently, "Worlds of Fun" would have been jealous.

The neighborhood pushed for the elimination of one car hole on Wyandotte. Glad to see the developers took what we said to heart. They were pretty reasonable to work with which was refreshing. Don't know about the 9th Street side, I'll have to look at the drawings.

EDIT: I would also add it looks like they've moved their services to the west side of the building. One reason for the double garage cuts on Wyandotte was to allow for easier dumpster access ( ) but fortunately they were able to relocate to the alley. Good stuff!

Except for the island of Manhattan, where they don't have them.

Drill rig was on site doing soil testing today.

and across the street to the east, surveyors were marking the alley and sidewalk next to John's Garage - a charming dilapidated relic and monument to a car-centric city. Maybe under contract by now.

Was confirmed by the owner recently to be under contract. Something to watch for those of us with holdings in the area!
