Actually . . . This is about the furthest from REAL NEWS that the local paper can get . . . They're throwing arrows at a board and reaching out into the darkness . . . In fact, all they're doing is spreading misinformation . . . Check-it . . .

Those include the former Kansas City Star printing pavilion at 1601 McGee St. and a property north of the Missouri River in Clay County."
