Everyone gets a Strang Hall!
Late Summer Opening Anticipated for Strang Food Hall at Plaza
The new food hall, which is expected to open in August, will occupy parts of two levels in the Cascade. It will feature four chef-driven concepts and two bars. Craft said commitments have been made for two restaurant spaces and a third is nearing completion.
There will be two food concepts and a bar on the ground level accessed by an entrance at the corner of 46th Terrace and Wornall. Upstairs on the lobby level, there will be two more food concepts and a bar that will open with an 80-seat outdoor patio overlooking the Plaza.
The Strang Chef Collective also will provide room service to guests at both hotels, the Aloft is connected to the Cascade, and also catering for activities at the Cascade’s event space. Chefs from the entire collective, not just the Cascade, will be able to cater there.
Independence City Council votes to join assessment lawsuit
www.kctv5.com Independence City Council votes to join property tax assessment lawsuit
Independence is trying to join the class action lawsuit filed against Jackson County regarding the recent property tax assessments.
The City Council voted unanimously to join the lawsuit, however it is not clear if the city can sue the county. More to come I’m sure…
Tl;dr, there are 2 claims in the lawsuit
- Residents and businesses were not notified by June 15th, which per MO statutes could make the increase illegal
- In the transition to a new system, there were numerous delays that the County did not hold Tyler Technologies accountable for, leading to arbitrary increases that didn’t include a physical visit to property
Independence is discussing this tonight during a council meeting

Hardest part was remembering what subjects I was subscribed to and finding analogues here
