While this isn’t really geographically related to downtown, it is something that will affect lots of people in Kansas City. A fire broke out in the Waldo area at 75th & Washington this morning. Unfortunately six firefighters were injured in the blaze, but thankfully are expected to make a full recovery. Kennedy’s, Café Apanaire, Frankly Basic, and the Gown Gallery appear to have been completely destroyed. No word on the cause of the fire.
I have a friend female friends that I’ve put on suicide watch since they’ll be without their beloved Frankly Basic clothing store. One friend almost started crying when she heard the news. Good luck to the owners on hopefully rebuilding such notable establishments for the KC community. They will be missed in the meantime.
Luckily, I believe one of my favorite bars in the area The 75th St. Brewery was untouched.
