Harry Potter at the Screenland Armour Theatre in North Kansas City was brilliant! If you're a Harry Potter fan, you will enjoy the latest movie Harry Potter And The Deathly Hollows.

I was very impressed with the Screenland Theatre. The Art Deco design is fabulous! The atmosphere is very relaxed and welcoming. The service is prompt and friendly. What a great addition to the North Kansas City business strip!

The lobby consists of a full-service bar and six tables. It doesn't feel like a movie theatre lobbly at all. You can have dinner and a drink in a relaxed atmosphere while waiting for your movie to start.

Screenland Armour was built in 1928 and served as a movie venue until the 1980's when it became a country & western bar for about 15 years. The current owner spent around $1.5 million in renovations; he had the good taste to retain much of the original architectural details.

An artist from Hawaii was commissioned to do the frieze around the screen. The face at the top is modeled after her mother. The robot, to the side of the screen, was done by a local artist who operates by our downtown Grinders in the Crossroads Art District.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was awesome! I don't remember Dumbledore having a brother in the books, but he fit into the plot quite well. Hagrid, Professor McGonagall and all the favorite characters were there. Snapes turns out to be a noble hero. Voldemort remains evil to the end. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny live happily ever after.

Yesterday, as I was driving to a client's closing in North Kansas City, I was running early. This pleased me as it had been a hectic day. What pleased me more was that I had time to stop at a little Pastry Shop. The sign outside has intrigued me for a long time. It says "homemade cupcakes" - and it's a homemade sign. Little bitty place. -Remember what they say about big things coming in small packages?

This is Martha Uhl, owner of Wally's Pastry Shop at 3855 N Oak Traffic way in Kansas City, MO. 64116

Martha proudly displays some of the cupcakes made by her son, Manfred Uhl, the artist. And what an artist he is! The frog and the bear cupcakes are made from sugar and food coloring; not plastic. I have tasted many fabulous wedding cakes from Wally's but these cupcakes are just too cute!

The pastries are heavenly! If you have lived north of the river for any length of time, you are undoubtedly familiar with this marvelous shop. If you have not yet had the pleasure, treat yourself to the most delectable pastries in North KC. Maybe even the whole city.

Open Monday - Friday 9 to 5 ...Saturday 9 to 3 ...Closed on Sundays (816) 452-7535

It’s true our property at 5230 N Manchester our first endeavor into the real estate market of North Kansas City is currently pending. We received a full price offer on this property after only 8 days on market. Granted the sale has not closed yet but things are looking promising.

When this property does close it will be the second quickest flip Vizion has ever completed. Only one day behind the 7 day flip of 8205 Kenwood. Naturally our acquisitions team is hard at work scouring the Northland for deals.

In the meantime phone calls keep coming in from prospective buyers wondering when we will be doing another property in North Kansas City. I will make sure to keep everyone posted on any new Vizion acquisitions north of the river. From the looks of things we will be moving on a new property in North Kansas City shortly.

5230 N Manchester was one extreme home makeover. For those of you who remember this was the house with many holes I had written about previously. This is also the first house we’ve done in North Kansas City so everybody in the office is eager to so see how quickly it sells.

On this home renovation we finished the basement adding a family room, full bathroom, and bedroom which makes this home one of the largest in the neighborhood. Being listed at only $119,900 it’s also a stand out deal in this subdivision.
