Helzberg Has No Plans to Walk Away From Webster House, Despite Closing
Faced with a pandemic shutdown and the likelihood its important patron, the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, will remain dark until fall, Shirley Helzberg had no choice but to close her labor of love, the Webster House, permanently.
The solution is perfectly straightforward and has been used in KCMO many many times.
ReplyDeleteSomeone who heads a mysterious "development team" and has a great presentation that just rolls right over the KCMO electeds, but turns out not to have any money, should just take over the operation.
Within a couple months, after it becomes clear that the "team" consists of the developer and his 6 year-old daughter and family pets and is already upside-down financially, just head for 12th and Oak and tell them that "we've come this far, so we just can't turn back now".
And, voila!, let the taxpayer subsidies roll!
As predictable as the sun rising in the east.
I could never put my thoughts in words better than you.. thanks

ReplyDeleteIt was basically on a dead end street. It was not welcoming to the bulk of the market. It was very niche and the niche was way too small. Plus a lot of restaurants loved by the charity ball set have opened up around the crossroads. Hard to be critical of Shirley though... She has given a tremendous amount to KC. There are a lot of people with her money that hide all year in Florida or Martha's Vineyard.
