Spokes Café Serves Downtown Kansas City Bank Lobby Switcheroo

In theory this might be a good move and maybe could shave a few points off their loan . . .

Construction already is under way at the bank; Spokes soon will close the Walnut Street location and reopen at 1007 Main Street, inside the arcade of the bank building.

True to Barth’s word, a bike rack will be installed near the café’s Main Street entrance to accommodate the cycling community, which Spokes has embraced since its inception.
