A 12-story mixed-use project could be coming to the Country Club Plaza - after the potential demolition of a 76-year-old Romanesque-style church.

  7. Will it include a game lawn, Foosball room, pool, and beer pong platform? I'm not paying luxury prices without those conveniences.

    Dear lord, may all the unwashed and poor be sent elsewhere, far far away from our shiny new tax abated wonder of the world here on the magnificent plaza.. and we'll need a designated area for baptisms on brush creek.

    1. Of all the 19th century American-made heresies I'd say the Christian scientists are my favorite, although the LDS is a romping good time too.

  14. Jesus doesn’t see the Plaza as a viable location for prayer and worship. There are way too many homosexuals and negroes at the Plaza now. Moving to southern Joco, where there are a lot of hot sluts.

  15. It's a beautiful, historic, building...which, in Kansas City, means it's doomed.

  16. 1) this is a super awesome building, worthy of creative repurposing regardless of his history as a church.
    2)historic kansas city is an outdated organization that is trying to put their reactionary noses into a smelly pile that they have been unable to have effective mediation over for over a decade. Why, because the same people who pay them off to preserve the plaza, also make plans to demolish and build new towers (jonathan kemper, doug price, bloch ect..)
    3)the church is not a historic landmark
    4) historic kansas city has wasted thousands of dollars in grant money to "research" and "preserve" the plaza while letting it go to hell in a handbasket. this is largely due to the fact that they have an inoperable board comprised of people who thought preservation was "fashionable" in the 1980s and 1990s. these same hobbyists play their political games to elect weak "politicians" such as shields. pretending to champion the interests of neighborhoods.
