Topeka leaders took the first step to give tax incentives for a luxury housing development planned for southwest Topeka. The Topeka City Council approved on Nov. 10 sending a Reinvestment Housing Incentive District application forward to the Kansas Secretary of Commerce. The project referred to as Ardmore Walk Addition No. 1 is to build 42 luxury homes near the corner of SW Lakeside Drive and 45th Street. If the secretary of commerce's office approves the application moving forward, the council will vote on whether to make it a tax benefit district and then the tax breaks the project could get.

Customers regularly ask where Karl is when they stop in, and the shop even celebrates his birthday with an annual event. He’s also known to patrol the back door in search of the occasional Italian wall lizard that finds its way inside.
