Opening

The World’s First Museum of BBQ Sets Grand Opening Date

The Museum of BBQ, the world’s first museum dedicated to barbecue, will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday, April 12th.

• Smoke in the Air: The museum will be located in the shops of Crown Center at 2450 Grand Boulevard, Suite 231 in KCMO. Guests will be greeted at the entrance that resembles a Southern Pride smoker, before leading them through interactive exhibits exploring how meat becomes barbecue.

• BBQ Buzz: Guests will also travel across the barbecue regions of America, exploring the Carolinas, Memphis, Texas, and (of course) Kansas City. The Museum of BBQ was recently named as one of Time Out’s best new things to do in the world, and we can’t wait to take a dip in the Bush’s® Beans Bean Pit!

Tickets are on sale now for just $10 (plus tax). Get them HERE!

Development

Downtown Mission Could See Massive Redevelopment

A massive redevelopment could be coming soon to downtown Mission, KS along Johnson Drive.

• On a Mission: The development is led by Sunflower Development Group, who purchased the Mission Mart Shopping Center earlier this year. The group anticipates investing $3.5 to $7 million over the course of the next three to seven years.

• Super Suburb: In addition to the retail space, Sunflower also plans on building a new 5-story, 96-unit apartment complex just south to the shopping center. Although the development is just down the road of the defunct Mission Gateway, developers are bullish on the area’s potential.

What if Kauffman Stadium was at the Washington Square Park Site in Downtown Kansas City?

All this back-and-forth of where the Royals’ new home will be is slightly exhausting. But we put our amateur photoshop skills to the test to place Kauffman Stadium at the Washington Square Park site in downtown Kansas City, MO.
