The dance floor was full when we arrived at about a. We caught the tail end of the set, unfortunately, and the floor cleared. A man stepped to the mic and delivered a kind of perverse sermon in rhyming couplets. Meanwhile, the audience displayed eye-ravishing pageantry. Of course, we were white, and most of the attendees were older black people, splendidly dressed. The typical male outfit skewed either Godfather or Grand Ole Opry — magnificent suits of blue or red or snakeskin, punctuated by either a Homburg or a cowboy hat.
Couples coordinated their outfits, looking sexy-cute rather than dorky-cute. More than anything, the Thanksgiving Breakfast Dance feels like a celebration of black Kansas City, which has more soul in one ring-clad, cigar-gripping hand than the entire history of the Country Club Plaza.
The annual storm drainage repair program will address storm drainage improvements to replace deteriorated storm drainage pipes. The city has hired GBA to provide engineering and survey services necessary to design the project.
At this stage, we are conducting ground surveys to collect the existing information about property corners, underground utilities, and existing features in the yards. It is anticipated that pipe replacement construction will occur in the fall of this year. Property owners directly impacted by the improvements will receive additional information about the planned improvements once the survey is complete.
The three project locations are:. GBA will also be conducting a stormwater drainage study in the area of Canterbury Street between 77th and 79th Streets. The study will determine if any improvements are possible to improve rear yard and structure flooding in the area. Resident questionnaires will be sent out to help gather information along with ground and utility surveys. The construction and maintenance of the stormwater management system is funded by the Stormwater Utility Fee. Contractor:Superior Bowen email: concrete pvkansas.
Residents on these streets will receive a postcard notifying them of the upcoming construction. Please remember to look for orange flyers in your yard for construction communication. Most of these locations are complete. A postcard will be sent to each resident prior to major construction beginning on their street. The Village of Make Believe loves visitors! Downtown Make Believe is wonderfully compact, making it easy to meander among our distinctive artisan boutiques, shops, the depot, and Village Square.
Spend a cozy night, few days, or even a week. Enjoy the holiday decorated streets around the Village Square, as well as the majestic, lighted Christmas Tree. Eat in one our mouth-watering restaurants. Although the story began before any of us were born, we will limit our visit to the last ten years or so. What would you do if you were the Station Master and needed a Christmas tree decorated, but were too busy with the Christmas passenger rush to do it? Can you feel the Christmas magic?
I can. From the moment I stepped off the train onto the platform. There is something in the air. Maybe it is the cold, snow-scented air. Maybe it is the smell of pine boughs. Maybe it is the whimsical feeling that fills my spirit. Whatever it is, it is magical. I wonder who the fortunate soul is that gets to ride to his lodging in the convertible?
A Packard, I think? Only outdoor dining was allowed. We suspended the food trucks. Kennedy said the Young Professionals Committee, which also created an outdoor movie night last year to attract more crowds, hosted the Sundown Festival, but handed the model to the chamber for it.
But first of all we need to be aware of our base here. There are as many retail businesses here as there are restaurants, so we are looking throughout the year to do a lot more promotions to showcase our retail stores. Kennedy pointed out that the village has restaurant workers who work Friday and Saturday evenings.
If you install meters, you can pay for the project.
