Project Details The West Bottoms Flats are a market-rate housing project in the West Bottoms area of Kansas City, Missouri, that have transformed three historic warehouse and manufacturing buildings into apartments, micro-retail, and indoor/outdoor amenity space.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea and going down to the west bottoms was fun during the antiques sale, but it isn't a reality until the city gets strong leadership in who will clean up the mess, like crime and drugs. I really don't think that will happen so it's another dream up in smoke. Really sad.
^^and yet it's not. Weird.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn’t advise anybody living in those rickety ass old brick buildings, they are dangerous.
ReplyDelete^^and yet nobody asked you though pops. Weird.

ReplyDeleteArmed security in parking lots ?
ReplyDeleteThat area can flood up to 15 feet deep in certain weather conditions. Serious. Its in a Federal flood plane.

ReplyDeleteIt's been what, 60 years since this was a fully working stockyard?
ReplyDeleteAnd it still reeks of cattle each and every day the temperature is over 80 degrees. That's not going away anytime soon. Nothing says "Prime Real Estate" like the literal scent of bullshit.
