Recent developments on the Steamboat Arabia Museum

The Steamboat Arabia Museum is still steaming on in its upstream effort to dock in Parkville. The latest news, which is generally circulating among folks downtown, is that the museum owners have secured an option on one of two large parcels of land in which they have expressed interest. That parcel is just to the south of the English Landing Centre. This is another crucial step to bringing the museum to Our Parkville MO. Its good that local politicians, community leaders and others have picked up on the excitement and have kept the buzz going. Even folks as far away as Overland Park, KS, have heard the news and have expressed their delight in the possible move.

On another topic, congratulations to Watercolors High Fashion LLC on Main Street for winning the Best Decorated Storefront in Downtown Parkville award. Many other stores worked very hard at their season's decorations and all are to be congratulated.
