Revitalizing KC: The Rise and Promise of the Crossroads Brewery Emperial”.

Brewery Emperial is located in a unique part of the Crossroads in Kansas City, where development is welcomed without causing disruptions to traffic or business. The brewery’s owner, Rich Kasyjanski, reflects on the changes that have taken place in the Crossroads since he first moved to Kansas City in 1995.

Kasyjanski notes the growth and development that has taken place in downtown Kansas City. He remembers a time when it was difficult to find places to go out in downtown, but now there is a vibrant community with many bars, restaurants, and entertainment options. Despite this progress, Kasyjanski acknowledges the uncertainty that comes with further development and construction in the area. He questions how the neighborhood will be affected and what the construction will look like in the future.

Despite these concerns, Kasyjanski remains optimistic about the potential opportunities and growth that could come from being located in such a dynamic area. In particular, he sees the potential of having a downtown ballpark nearby as an opportunity for even more business on game days as people pass by on their way to or from the stadium. Overall, Kasyjanski is excited about what lies ahead for Brewery Emperial and for his beloved Crossroads neighborhood.
