Before West Bottoms became the home of Boulevardia, haunted houses such as The Beast and Edge of Hell, and the hip new place to live, it was home to old warehouses and antique stores. Nowadays, this neighborhood is on the rise as more and more warehouses are being converted into modern lofts and restaurants and bars are moving in. I daresay this is the most up and coming neighborhood in KC.
