Chambers of Poe

   Paranormal twisted tales
Fabricated phantasm
Mystery macabre

B igger and creepier, a low overhead attempt to make use of aged industrial resources has been a solution for the Kansas City West Bottoms for decades. Capitalizing on Halloween and thus only actually active in October, this amusement utilization is not a ticket to revitalization. The magnificent large factories and warehouses in this oldest area of the city have essentially been neglected. Such historic structures have great potential and deserve better treatment. There are signs that their irreplaceable value is now being recognized, as an influx of new businesses and retail start-ups are beginning to move in. If this favorable trend continues, an interesting historic area will transform into a vibrant and desirable urban oasis.

“It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream.” - Edgar Allan Poe
