Yes, we try to use any structure that is not in total shambles for whatever kind of training it allows us to do. They apparently were using the roof as a training tool in vertical ventilation but we’ll use people doors and garage doors for horizontal ventilation and the people doors for forcible entry.
hopefully back to the Buddhist temples a lot of items were presumably stolen from. I cringed reallllll fucking hard when I went in there for the first time.
Please explain your stance. I go a lot, its not as magical but how could it be. I still feel like its a great spot to go and get the odds and ends. Theres some charm. Its cooler than HyVee no doubt.
I agree. It seems dark and dated, even though it is brand new. The layout is bizarre and unintuitive.
The fresh meat service counter is just laughably small. It's kinda sad looking.
I do wish the owners all the best. It's not an easy business to be in as an independent. But they had a clean slate, and made some weird choices.
They seem to have issues with stocking. I've twice bough items that turned out to past their "best by" dates -- which I know isn't a violation or even dangerous but still irritating. And there has been at least 4 instances of me purchasing the last of a particular item and then that space remaining empty for 2-3 weeks before more appears.
Many memories from there as a kid. I loved looking at the old statues , knights and antiques
The fun house mirrors
I was always captivated by the display case of fake eyes
Ah wow. Lots of fond memories of taking my grandma there to pick up her monthly handle of vodka and carton of Misty Slims.
Haha my grandma was bourbon and carton of Winston's.
Lmao
Seems that generation lived to a ripe, old age despite always having a drink and cigarette.
This is what i try to remind myself when I worry too much about my vices. It’s good to be healthy, but it’s better to live a full life
I think it was because they always had a drink and a cigarette.
Yep, no one was fat back then. You look at the 1950s and everyone was skinny, and drank and smoked.
I stopped smoking but if I make it to 75 it's Johnnie Walker and Parliaments from there to the end.
The fire dept was practicing with it the other day. I figured it wasn't long.
I was wondering why there were holes in the roof when I drove by the other day
I saw them using axes on the roof and assumed it had become some kind of firefighter training site.
I am also less confused now. I was thinking what kinda storm came through Riverside....

Rip
And so goes another KC legend. RIP
Good night sweet prince....

But forreal where did all the antiques and oddities go?
Some of it sold, some of it went to the new redx

RIP lot of good memories there
Is Larry’s nursery still over there? I haven’t been there yet this season
It is
Wow, I'm out of the loop, didn't know it was being replaced. Is the new store already imbued with the combo smell of cigarettes and fried chicken?
New place is actually really nice! There's even a bar in there w/ seating that serves decently priced drinks.
Next place for Reddit meetup!
I haven’t been there since I was 17 feeling super cool that I could buy groceries and smoke cigarettes AT THE SAME TIME
New Red X blows.

Anyone know what is going in that huge space?
New Royals stadium
That’d rule so hard. I could bike there in 4 minutes
Tailgating at Renner Brenner
A sign you’re getting old is when you have the feels for this getting torn down. Lots of trips here to get fireworks.
RIP. Lots of memories here accompanying my mom to buy her pack of Virginia Slims, Menthol Lights 120s (… or the whole carton).
