The Friday morning KANSAS CITY STAR has an interesting story.
It's about how a Kansas City man- William Royster- who was having a "business meeting" at the Plaza's "Kona Grill."
Royster ends up not only being "banned" from the restaurant- but banned "from the entire Plaza for life"- reportedly over some remark a member of Royster's party made to another patron.
The man is suing the restaurant as well as the Plaza property managers- Highwoods Properties.
Someone PLEASE explain to me how they can ban someone from the "public" streets & sidewalks of the Plaza?
Also in that STAR article- Highwoods Properties has other Plaza issues.
Longtime local Function Junction is closing their Plaza store. Highwoods has also sued 2 other businesses for back rent.
The Uno Chicago Grill- owing in the neighborhood of $90000- and Eternity- a woman's boutique- who owes nearly $25000.
Folks- if you think the tightening economy is bad for business NOW- wait until Christmas. Methinks you ain't seen nuttin' yet....
