The Broadway

Bright lights, mid-sized city.

The Crossroads is famous. Don’t worry, it’s not headed to rehab, or referring to itself by a nickname, C-Roads. (I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself.) No, it’s going to be in a movie. Or two. The urban backdrop we’ve loved for so long is getting some coastal cred with two sizeable film productions rolling tape here in town. “Lie To Me,” and “Jake Forgotten” are both pulling big-name actors and directors from L.A. while casting smaller roles from the deep pool of talent swimming in Kansas City. “Lie To Me” is a film about modern-day relationships — meaning everyone is sleeping with everyone else. “Jake Forgotten” is a story about a man’s entanglement with the mafia, the FBI and himself. Both films release later this year, but the Crossroads has been ready for its close-up for a long time.

New Year. New Space.

Around the New Year, we all try to rev up our resolutions and refocus our lives. Drop a few pounds. Spend more time with fami ly. Stop wearing Spandex. Start wearing Spandex. It’s also when we think about simplifying our lives and moving into just the space we need in a place that’s at the heart of everything we want. Living at THE BROADWAY means you’re walking distance to over 25 restaurants, 23 boutiques and 43 galleries. And with neighbors like Screenland, The Boulevard Brewing Company and the Lyric Opera, there’s always something to do right around the corner.
