Maybe not 5 but a while ago. Steakhouse by the stockyards forget the name

The guys from Morton's went to Capital Grill IIRC I remember the party, I felt lucky to be invited to one stage of it...They had 4 limos and the party kept moving. When they left us we sent them with 2 gallons of healthy margarita's and they came back later for Chocolate Martinis.

That celebration ended up better than the anniversary party for The Tuba....

3155 Terrace, off 7th street traffic way and darn, I can't remember the other main drag off of 35.
The closest bbq joint was Rosedales and I remember thinking "KC is famous for the Q and this is KCq? It sucks!"

I just wonder if this was Plll isn't paying it's way (That property has to be a big nut to cut) or if new Plaza owners are wanting too much rent on a new lease or have requested them to vacate.

Where is the Plaza going to put what is said to be a new 116,000-square-foot store in 2021. It it's not new where might it go? Old Sears? New building on Ward Parkway? Where P III is?

Where do you put 216K SF when 2 floor of Halls was only half that? What's coming down so the 800lb gorilla can have a place?

ADI was a really big deal back in the day, and I hadn't thought about Daves in a long time. One of the local salesman took me out there once. Was he the guy that would cut your tie off if you wore one in to his store?ROFL Our salesman made sure I took mine off before we went into that store.

I remember hearing that Motor Pool name, and of course the O'Reilly's thing went bonkers. Spent some time out in LA with Larry O'Reilly at a AWDA conference. One of my neighbors down here retired after 34 years with them.

Your career sounds similar to mine except for the IT part. Good for you!

My education was in electronics so I got back into that for the remainder of my career.

Yeah, that was Dave. He could be a bit of an asshole at times, but I really liked working for him. Once at the Olathe store some guy came in for an air filter but didn't buy it because it was too expensive. Said he was going to Western Auto down the street instead. He came back a bit later and wanted our filter because they didn't have one in stock. It was still laying on the counter and Dave picks it up and throws it over his shoulder down the warehouse aisle and told the guy we were out of stock too.

I don't know what this means, but remember Peppermill and Richie's. I used to shoot darts at Peppermill years later. I guess you were trying to say Blue Ridge and 71. Yeah, between there and Longview Rd. I also spent a fair amount of time at Capitol Bowl and Hickman Mills Fun Center.



Don't know who the redhead is you are talking about. I did run into Dave at the 89th and Troost location. He had stores at 76th and Metcalf,east side near 95th and Antioch cannot place where but I have been there, on Shawnee Mission Pkwy just west of I-35 On the north in a center with a night club in it . There was also, west near Neiman, there was a foreign car parts store. I had a Midget and Olathe at Sante Fe and Ridgeview. I was there a few times. Do you remember the shop where the new Phillips 66 is Santa Fe and I-35? I worked at them all except Shawnee at one time or another. He ended up selling them to Parts Plus and some dickhead from Oklahoma come up here to run the. Jeff something. I couldn't stand that guy. Wouldn't look you in the eye.




If you are talking about the owner, it was Rudy Langer. He was a ****ing asshole. Loved suing people. He bent me over once and I bent him over real good just cause I could "Rudy" was a great name for him



Blue Ridge Cutoff and Sni-A-Bar Rd. Always a bar close to a Motor Pool.ROFL What did you do for Marty, your owner? Oh and the owner of Keystone, And later ADI.



Both those names sound very familiar. Harold owned Benton Auto Parts on Truman Dr and another store at 79th and Wornall. Marty had him bent over but Harold came out ok. Marty owned his real estate, Marty would separate everything that couldn't be returned or reboxed from out of business parts stores and make harold eat them. Wasn't your store full of crap? The one on Main had a basement full of non HEI caps, wires. Anything he couldn't force on Harold was thrown down there



Two different stints. 58th and Troost When?, We did some business when we had a shop at 63rd and Tracy and 40 Hwy close to where the old Blue Ridge Mall used to be. 40 highway on the right going east. Did you know Roger Hurst? I did business with the 23rd and Lees Summit rd store in Ind.



Sure is.

Further proof the restaurant business is tough with some of these great places that have closed.




You must have been good at whatever it was you did.

Where did you pedal British parts, down on OAK?

I am going to guess that one time or another money went from my hand to yours. It is a small world.

The British parts place was on Shawnee Mission Pkwy, but he had another store down around Westport, on Broadway I think. East side north of Westport Rd. The owners name was Frank something. Can't recall the last name. I hated that job. One day I just decided I didn't want to work there anymore and didn't show up on a Saturday. His wife called me at home and I just told her I quit.

green MGB and/ or a Pumpkin Midget. Both were rubber baby buggy bumper models. I didn't buy too much there as his prices were anything but fair, but left enough cash behind.

Frank was not happy when I bought my Piranha ignition from a place in NKC where appearance he bought his... The guy said something about calling about it and sold it to me at Frank's cost, don't recall going back much after that bonus.

There was a place on SM and Metcalf but by that time it was Yamaha. Ever meet Joe Engle?

It will be in a strip mall on metcalf or something LMAO

Just weeks after closing on the Country Club Plaza, Plaza III the Steakhouse is set to make a comeback in Overland Park.

Its owners, Haddad Restaurant Group, have signed a lease for 12631 Metcalf Ave. They said their clientele would be better served by a "smaller, neighborhood-oriented location."
