Made in KC x Rainy Day Books Opens in the Power & Light District

KC Daily

Made in KC has opened a new flagship location inside the Power & Light District in downtown Kansas City.

Local Goods, Local Reads: The shop doubles as a second location for Rainy Day Books, which still operates at its original location in Fairway. In addition to shelves of good reads, the shop offers locally-made goods, a full café, and plenty of seating spread across two levels. It also hopes to operate a full bar serving in the near future.
One Stop Shop: We stopped by this weekend for a look inside. The shop is still in a soft-opening phase, so expect new inventory and final touches until the grand opening. (date TBD)

Made in KC x Rainy Day Books is located at 161 E. 14th St., and is open 7 days a week.

Last week, the Royals revealed the first renderings of their new Crown Center ballpark, built to carry the best of the K into a more intimate downtown setting.

Fit for a Crown: The open-air park will seat about 34,000, making it one of the most intimate experiences in Major League Baseball. It’ll be tucked into the existing limestone bluff, with a limestone entrance framed by metal and terracotta. A fabric canopy overhead will shade about 65% of the seats during late-afternoon games.
Fountains Up!: The crown, the fountains, the Little K, and CrownVision are all making the move. Two 360-degree concourses will connect a right-field entertainment building and a left-field Royals headquarters, opening up views of Union Station and Liberty Memorial. The park was designed by KC-based Populous, the firm behind Kauffman Stadium’s renovations.

Find high-res renderings and details on the project from Populous HERE.
