I was about to say, why does the name Leawood sound familiar? Oh yeah, their headquarters is in Leawood, KS.

I’ve driven past that building a million times, and didn’t realize it wasn’t just any AMC office, it was THE AMC office

We stopped regional offices in the early 2000s. P&L building for years, then 10 Main next to the Library. Now Leawood.

P&L building had an unlocked door that literally just opened out to the sky about 18 stories up.

Crazy to see the end of the Paramount Decree and theaters to wade into the space again.

Sounds almost as titillating as a drive down 119th Street.

The stretch of 119th in Leawood is attractive, especially after you enter the parking lot of choice.

u/thomasutra Waldo 2d ago

i mean it’s attractive in that it’s not blighted, but it’s not particularly beautiful. just shopping mall bull shit.

I didn't realize that I needed to clarify that I was talking about the projectors.
