Busy-ness on the Plaza

So many changes already on the Plaza, let alone coming on. I'd written before about the Michael Kors store going in soon. It's had signs up for a long time. No sign yet, saying when it opens but I assume this Fall, when they assume shopping will turn up. Then there are a few new restaurants going in. A Gram & Dun restaurant is going in old Baja 600 space. It seemed something should go in there quickly since it's such a high-traffic and highly visible spot and so popular. Next up is a Zocala "Mexican restaurant and Taquileria" going in the old Mi Cocina spot, if it hasn't devolved to attorneys, as The Pitch mentions in a column (link below). Now, today, it was announced in the Kansas City Business Journal that a Kate Spade store is going in. It's heartening to see these empty spots on the Plaza filled. At least there's some business and new business going on.Links: http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2011/07/19/kate-spade-kansas-city-plaza.html; http://www.kansascity.com/2011/07/04/2993487/hm-new-pub-coming-to-plaza-this.html; http://blogs.pitch.com/fatcity/2011/03/a_big_shake_up_at_the_unopened.php; http://www.kansascity.com/2011/06/29/2982564/new-restaurant-moving-into-former.html
