I noticed there was rock down at Brickyard Rd where the current completed trail ends!! Did they start at Brickyard Rd or are they almost done rocking the new section? Does anyone live further up the trail and know the progress?

Jeff, Raytown	7/26/2020 4:11:29 PM
Has anyone seen the new construction that's recently been completed in Raytown? The trail converges with a sidewalk at 59th St and Raytown Trfwy - at a very busy intersection. Very poorly designed, and I fear it will cause havoc or even accidents.... [ more ]

FYI, this is now the Rock Island Cafe. We stopped there for lunch on a weekday and they were quite busy, but the food and service was still very good.

Trying to find out if the Chillowee Corner Store is still open. Seems like it might have gone out of business.
