Merry Doll Round Olathe very much needs a new faceup, but since she has SOME faceup it’s not at the top of my list, haha. She’s lovely though! I put her on an old Angel Philia body which matches surprisingly well, but fell over into 5 pieces immediately after taking this photo, haha.
COUNT them - Oddo has planned for SIX floors - only 2 of which are partially buried.
This monstrosity would rise 157 feet above the ground at its highest relative to the sloping ground. It would be almost 70 feet high at the other end. The largest extent of this Huge Block would tower over the HOA facilities across the street…!
Squeezed into this single towering block would be 300 ‘luxury’ apartments…! After all what doesn’t scream luxury about miles long corridors encased in “synthetic stone veneer” and “cement fiberboard”…?
Could you blame the tenants for wanting to leave this prison like compound - especially when they (some of them) could see the beautiful Cedar Creek park-like setting all around them…. ?!

REVIEW: Central States Wrestling – Bad Moon Rising (2023)
A Live Wrestling Event by CSW
Continuing on my tour of every National Guard Armory in the State of Kansas, the subject of this review, Central States Wrestling – Bad Moon Rising, hailed from Olathe, Kansas this time due to a last-minute venue change.
