IDK if you caught it or not, but the head of Schlitterbahn said that there will start to be a lot more new slides added to KC here in the upcoming years. They have the river work done for the most part - that took longer than they expected. With that out of the way, they can focus more on the slides

Got lots of room there for what was going to be a 550 million dollar project when it was first announced.

Big jacks was open on opening day. We ate there. No huge sandwich though. They had removed it from the menu.

A world of slushy shop most likely.

I hope they do something to keep this part of town alive.

Great idea MH!! maybe another Dippin Dots location

Or better yet, maybe a game booth for the kids, so they can win basketballs!!!!!

I hate to see the shop close. I ate there with my family back in 1970. Worked there in 1978-1979. Fond memories of the place. I hope they won't tear it down or significantly remodel into something stupid like Dippin' Dots, slushie, or something in that vein. In my opinion, if they would have kept the freshly made sandwiches instead of the earlier prepared stuff, and just revamped the menu a bit, things might have worked. But what to I know anymore? Gotta make money or the gates won't swing open.

I would be fine if they changed it into another Midtown shop - where a demonstrating artist would work
