Photo Essay Of A Kansas City-MO Eyesore: Old Bannister Mall



As we South Kansas City residents eagerly await it's destruction- the old Bannister Mall still stands.


This is supposed to be the site of a new soccer stadium for the K.C. Wizards- as well as the location of new office buildings and- ready for this- retail.


New retail- heh. You can see what's left of the old retail here.

In fact- only one business remains open in that stretch of Chuck Eddy Drive (Hillcrest Road). Thank you- Burlington Coat Factory.

The next to last business- an IHOP- recently closed- posting this reason on their door.


The only NEW construction in the past 10 years along this road has been a new fire station. The old one sits empty on Bannister Road west of Chuck Eddy Drive.

Lane4 Development: PLEASE let all of us South Kansas Citians know when the demolition of this eyesore begins.

We'd like one last look at The Monument to governmental and citizen indifferance before it's gone....
