The New Kansas City Star Production Facility
I built this site to show all the interested people what's inside of the new building that's being built by the Kansas City Star to house the
new KBA Commander presses and other production related machinery. All pics were taken with permission.
All pics were taken by me, except for the one above. That one was taken by GRID at KC-PHOTOS.COM
This site contains pics of the new production facility built by The Kansas City Star. There is no official endorsement of this site.
I built this site on my own dime, on my own time.
The Kansas City Star is located in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. The new production facility is located up the street from the main Star building and occupies 2 city blocks bounded by 15th Street at the north, 17th Street at the south, McGee Street on the west side and Oak Street on the east side. It is a large and impressive building, holding large and impressive machinery.
The new building has only been in full use for about 3 months and already I have heard a bunch of nicknames for it. Here's a list.
"The Glass Wedge"
"The Chinese Take-Out Box"
"The Ski Jump"
"The Aircraft Carrier"
"The Green Monster"
If you have any others you would like added to the list just email me and I will add them to the list.
