Everyone likes to treat them…and now  there’s a new locally owned business in  Waldo with special treats for your dog!  Callie Mae’s Barkery and Bath opened in September at 7140 Wornall, offering doggy delights made by hand right in the shop. Owner Sarah Deters was the Corporate Executive Chef at Three Dog Bakery for 15 years when she decided to open her own place, along with her business partner Andy Wiltz (who owns several pet related services).  The focus at the store is using all natural ingredients–no artificial colors, refined sugars or preservatives; while adding in nutritional benefits with coconut oil, zucchini, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, apples, etc. Peek through the glass cases at the various offerings, and  you’ll see Sarah’s creativity on display:  best sellers like cheddar f...

There are locally owned bars in the Brookside/Waldo area that have a chummy, neighborhood vibe– similar to the Cheers TV sitcom where “everybody knows your name". Perhaps you know the bartender or tend to run into a neighbor during the visit. I'm thinking of places like Charlie Hooper’s or The Brooksider; Walsh’s Corner Cocktails. For several months now, Brookside has a wine bar with that same atmosphere…tucked away on Oak St around the corner from the Crestwood Shops.Vita’s Place is owned by Brookside residents Ryan and Jenny Scaira; and is named after Ryan’s grandmother, an immigrant from Sicily who lived in Columbus Park. Vita was Ryan’s best friend, and as a kid, he practically grew up at her kitchen table, watching her cook and take care of family members and visitors. She inspired...

Waldo had a large jump in the median sales price last month compared to September 2023; likely because more of the higher priced houses in Waldo closed. Let's take a look at the details; I'm using single family home sales in the area of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St for these stats:   September 2024 September 2023 Median list price: $324,950 $228,500 Median sales price: $310,000 $234,000 Days on market: 3 8 No. of homes sold: 27 18 The median sales price last month jumped 32% over last year; of the 27 homes that closed, six of them were over $400K--a higher price point for Waldo. The lowest closed price was $180,000 and the highest was $620,000. Below are the year-to-date numbers:   Jan-Sept 2024 Jan-Sept 2023 Median list price: $299,450 $289,900 Median sales price: $310,0...

So we are a couple of days into October and just slipping in these August Waldo home sales stats--took a few days of vacation!! Anyway, several houses for sale in Waldo, with a wide range of prices--usually the ones that sit on the market for a while don't sell right away due to price and/or condition. Home values remain strong! Here are the numbers:   August 2024 August 2023 Median list price: $339,000 $360,000 Median sales price: $342,000 $375,000 Days on market: 4 3 No. of homes sold: 29 27 Prices dropped 7.5% compared to last August, yet many buyers still paying over asking price--last month by just under 1%. The lowest closed price was $113,750 and the highest was $540,000. Here are the year-to-date stats:   Jan-Aug 2024 Jan-Aug 2023 Median list price: $299,000 $295,000 Median sale...

What is Hümanette??  You’ve seen the bright pink letters splashed across the windows of the building at 118 W 63rd St, formerly the home of Brookside Barkery & Bath.  It’s not a restaurant or bar or boutique; technically you could say it has aspects of all three of those things!  Hümanette is a space for kids to play while parents and caregivers socialize and work. It’s a unique concept that our neighborhood has been enthusiastically welcomed!I stopped by recently to talk with Jamie Hickey, Co-Founder and Head of Operations, about her new business. Jamie explained was inspired by the European way of raising children where “kids are more incorporated into adults’ lives.  We want everyone to feel welcome here, not just children, or people with children”.  Designed for youngsters from 0-6 ...

Finally.....City Barrel Pizza + Patio has opened it's new location, straddling the unofficial boundary of Brookside and Waldo at 120 E Gregory, in the former Bier Station space. Well friends, it was worth the wait, because this place has the similar beloved vibe of Bier Station with a few extra amenities. You've probably noticed the large, brand new patio built right in front of the space, now featuring more shade, plenty of tables, swings that face street and outdoor games for the kids. Our neighborhood loves a good patio, and this is one of the best around--plus dogs are welcome! Inside the newly remodeled space, you'll see a few tomato red booths, the same long (full) bar with several City Barrel brew offerings, an upstairs room for private parties and and an expanded menu.
