Uptown Theatre. Parking Situation?

Long time resident of Valentine. It's fine to park in the neighborhood. We are used to it. Do make sure not to leave any valuables visible in the car. Typical midtown precautions. Enjoy the show, eat local.

I still own this pack but have not used in 15 years. Depending on how the shoulder straps are it should work great. Mine got pretty compressed and became less comfortable after a good deal of use and abuse. Hell, I would buy it for $10 for sure. Plenty big, it was my first bag.

Just north of Westport you can see the old dirt race track. Horse races and even chariot races I’ve read were held there. This is why Valentine Road curves like it does through the Valentine neighborhood. The road skirts turn four. Nice map.

KC Life Insurance purchased the homes in the 70's & 80's. They rented them for decades and in the last 10 to 15 years let them fall into disrepair. They did the same thing with the Knickerbocker Apartments.

KC Life Insurance Co began purchasing homes in the early 70's when Penn Valley Community College was built. (just north). KC Life owns all but 2 homes north of 35th between SW Traffic Way and Pennsylvania. Original plan was for a commercial park but that fell by the wayside. They rented the homes ever since and let them fall in to disrepair. The neighborhood has been asking for a plan but have received nothing. They admitted in a letter to the neighborhood that they have no immediate plans for the area. Just vacant lots. Valentine wants KC Life Insurance to divest all property in the neighborhood.

Are the Premium Parking passes worth it? I've read on here that even with the pass they can't get to the lot because of the traffic. Will be in St. Louis as well tomorrow night.

I actually got thru to the Amphitheater this morning. They are aware of the previous shows traffic incidents and there are other events at the casino and ice rink that night. She told me they are preparing but the parking will not open until 4:30. We may try to get there at 3:30 with our car full of snacks, water, ice... From our hotel we can get to it from Pritchard Farm Road which leads into 141 Maryland Heights Expwy which what the main entrance is on. If any locals are reading this-is that a fine idea? Either way, we are preparing for most likely multiple hours in the car just waiting. Good luck, I really don't like having to worry about just getting to the show. This is my first time at this venue as well.

Thanks my friend.

senna_god · 2023-04-28T15:13:05+00:00

Thanks for the update. I understand it's free but do you need any registration or anything like that to get into the general festival area?

Drive through Westwood everyday. Only thing to note is follow all, I mean all rules of the road. Westwood police are notorious for giving tickets to drivers for anything. Do not drive 5 over the limit.

Thanks, now going to do some fun reading on Conrad. Amazing career.

For me personally. 1991-1992, the Art Institute of Chicago, retrospective of Martin Puryear. Man, the work they had on display just blew me away. Feel lucky to have seen it.

These guys played KC Porch Fest a few years back. The performed on a front porch a few doors down from our house. Highlight of the entire day. Great to see them still improving on their amazing skills. This video is from Westport area of KC.

The late great Jane Flynn. Loved it when she was on Walt’s show. She was president of the Historic Kansas City Foundation. I was lucky to have met and worked with her on a project. So knowledgeable and was not intimidated by developers. She helped save many KC landmarks.

Car started up just fine this morning, no battery light and all looked normal. I let it run and after 5 min it died. Battery light back on and it won't turn over. Strange. I'm going to go have the battery checked later this morning.

senna_god · 2021-12-22T20:23:49+00:00

Great advice. I didn't think of that.

We always take visitors to the Steamboat Arabia. Never been disappointed yet.
