Brookside's St. Patrick's Day Warm Up Parade is 10 March 2012. The parade starts at 2pm but get there early if you want to park within a half mile of the parade!

The parade route goes from Meyer Blvd, up Brookside Blvd, east on 63rd Street, south on Main, and west on Meyer Blvd. Any seat is a good one - bring a lawn chair. Wear green. ♫

The Brooksider Bar & Grill, between Commerce Bank and the Blue Grotto on the map above, will be packed by noon as will Michael Forbes, Hooper's, and all the other bars and restaurants in Brookside. If you need to go to the grocery store or post office, the roads will be blocked off at 1pm. Brookside's parade is child friendly, stroller friendly, and dog friendly.

The Snake Saturday Parade starts at 14th & Swift, to Armour, to Howell to 18th. The Snake Saturday Parade in North Kansas City starts at 11am so, theoretically, you could go to the Snake Parade first and then to the Brookside Warm Up Parade. Snake parade friendly but after party a bit rowdy for young children.

And don't forget the parade in Lawrence! The 5K Run/Walk Shamrock Shuffle starts at 8am, parade at 1pm, Queen Coronation Dinner on Sunday - it's a whole weekend thing! - only a 50 minute drive from KC!

No, not bagpipes - drain pipes! The Brookside neighborhood of Kansas City is finally getting the new storm drains we've needed for so long!

Aren't they pretty?

Kissick Construction is installing the new drainage pipes. The workers have been very conscientious in cleaning up after themselves every day at quitting time. They're doing a great job!

Brookside has been on the list for new pipes for about 2 decades. Each year that Kansas City budgeted for our new pipes, the money was diverted to the revitalization of downtown Kansas City. 2012 is the year!

Though the heavy equipment shakes my house, the guys have been moving right along over the last 2 weeks.

They are good workers and very polite. From the guy who came out to mark and measure in February to the guys doing the work, every one of them has been courteous and respectful.

Kissick was also good about putting up an adequate number of cones and road closed signs as the work was being done.

I guess we'll be needing some new sidewalks in Brookside when they're finished putting in the drainage pipes!

Tudors were the prominent homes on Agent Tour in Kansas City this week.

The storybook charm of homes built in the Tudor style attract buyers like no other house style. Their allure is universal.

Tudors come in small, medium and large.

Made of stone, brick, stucco, and wood, the variety of Tudor style homes in Kansas City is amazing.

Tudors are prolific in the Brookside and Mission Hills neighborhoods of Kansas City although they can be found in many other areas throughout our metropolis.

The only problem with selecting a Tudor house in Kansas City is choosing which one you like best!
