Friday Links – A New Home Development in Prairie Village, A Brookside Shop Closes

Brookside Shop Season + Square Closing

The gourmet lifestyle shop in Brookside, Season + Square, is closing this week. The owners, who also own and operate the restaurant, Plate, located next door to Season + Square, have decided to use the space to increase the size of the dining room at Plate. I will miss this little shop; it was my go-to place for gift giving and special treats.

Meadowbrook Park: A New Luxury Home Development in Prairie Village

Have you noticed the construction on the 136-acre site of the former Meadowbrook Country Club in Prairie Village? The new, high-end development is called Meadowbrook Park, and I think the site plan looks very well designed. Meadowbrook Park includes: an 84 acre public park with centrally located lakes, trails, maintenance provided single-family homes and villas, apartments, an inn, a restaurant, and a senior living complex. The developers are using four classic architectural styles in the development: Classical Revival, English, French and Prairie styles.
