West Bottoms vintage furniture store announces move to Mission next year

A vintage furniture store, inspired by mid-century modern aesthetics, is moving from its home base in Kansas City’s West Bottom’s neighborhood. Co-owner of Vintage Source, Dan Posch, got into vintage furniture around the COVID pandemic. Buying and selling was initially just a way for him to make ends meet, but over time, he rented booths in Bella Patina and River Market Antiques before finding a 7,000 square foot space at 1101 Mulberry St. in 2023 with co-owner Brad Graff. “It’s a really cool thing to get something that has that presence and that air that it’s lived a life before. To see it brought back to what it would have looked like new is just a whole different level. That’s the kind of pieces that we provide.” Vintage Source sells a range of mid-century modern pieces, as well as providing reupholstery and furniture restoration services. Posch and Graff even offer stereo console retro fitting, vintage audio repair and new build consoles. “There are certainly high-level upholsterers in Kansas City, but really, if you want something special like that or the retro-engineered stereo console, regionally we’re just about the only place, and that’s why we ship pieces all over the nation,”

Latest on Kansas governor race, Chiefs pick builders for new stadium: Top KC stories

From an uncalled Kansas governor race to Sen. Josh Hawley’s post-midterm positioning, here’s a roundup of what’s making news in the Kansas City region. These are the top stories from The Kansas City Star: Democrat Cindy Holscher’s lead over Republican Ty Masterson has grown to 7,644 votes in the uncalled Kansas governor race, with 73 of 105 counties having completed the hand-count audits required when a margin is under one percentage point. All close-race audits must wrap up by Monday, Nov. 16 , before county canvasses review provisional ballots. After Republicans lost control of the House and Senate in the midterms, Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley is pitching a working-class GOP vision focused on social programs and skepticism of corporate power. Critics note his voting record often conflicts with the rhetoric — he warned against Medicaid cuts for months, then voted for Trump’s bill containing nearly $1 trillion in such cuts. The Kansas City Chiefs have named Clark Construction Group and AECOM as joint venture partners on their future stadium in Wyandotte County. The 70,000-seat domed facility is planned near the Legends and Kansas Speedway, with sitework set to begin in 2027 and the stadium expected to open in 2031. Holscher,

Kansas City Council decides fate of proposed 20-story downtown data center

The Kansas City Council on Thursday knocked down a controversial proposal to build a data center skyscraper in downtown. Miami-based Revitalization Unlimited, a real estate investment fund focused on historic properties, proposed earlier this year building a 384-foot, 20-story tower made of brick and glass at 934 Central St., occupied mostly by data center equipment with a retail space on the ground floor, for a business such as a coffee shop. The development plan needed special zoning approval under city code. The project would have involved demolishing the historic Western Newspaper Union building, which has more recently been used for offices and short-term rentals. The developers have said the project was designed to complement the neighborhood, and its character and would be more akin to a telephone exchange from a previous era than a large industrial hyperscale facility. Downtown Kansas City already has a handful of data centers, include in the Star’s former green glass building in the Crossroads. They have said the noise level would be similar to an office building, while the data center would use a closed-loop cooling system that limits water use and would primarily use natural gas fuel cells to produce electricity through a chemical

A Kansas City theater is bringing classic movies to the historic Elmwood Cemetery

When Suzanne Owens came up with the idea to show films at Elmwood Cemetery last year, she was certain that there’d be an audience. “I love cemeteries in general, so it just kind of made sense to me,” Owens said with a laugh. “It's a very niche thing, but I know that there are enough like-minded people in Kansas City that would think that a movie in a cemetery is — if they think it's creepy, it's a good creepy.”
