Let me start by saying that a venue does not make a wedding. That is the result of hard work and…read moreloving family and the wedding we attended at Lamborn Farm was beautiful because of that. The venue itself has so much potential, but neglect and poor maintenance on the part of the owners/caretakers could have resulted in disaster. Upstairs seating in the barn for dinner was a challenge for anyone with a mobility issue. Light rain had made 2 out of 3 sets of stairs unusable as was determined when a lady slipped on the wet moss covered stairs and fell. The barn itself, while rustic and beautiful, I would be surprised if it could ever pass a fire department inspection. The outdoor area, while fun and appealing with swings and picnic tables, are poorly constructed and destined for collapse. One picnic bench broke under a small elderly guest due to rotting boards. The owner's response? "You broke my bench." There is a "house" offered at extra cost for dressing and a place to stay. The bed was covered with mouse excrement and mice, both dead and live were evident throughout the house. A kitchen area for food preparation was in the same condition and necessitated some last minute changes in plans. Extension cords ran randomly across the property providing a tripping hazzard that caught several guests. As disturbing as this place might be for the local fire department, the health department would be horrified. When the bride and groom visited and chose this venue several months ago, there were well tended flowers all over the property. 1 month before the wedding, the place was completely overgrown with brush and weeds. Mr Joseph's attention was mainly on the young ladies of the wedding party to the point of being uncomfortable. His attention should have been about putting tread on his stairs. If you are looking for a place to have a worry free wedding experience, you might want to keep looking. If you're willing to take a chance, the property is pretty with potential. But it is risky at best and flat out dangerous at worst. 2 stars for potential.

Once leaving I asked for the return of my security deposit and was promised it was going to be sent within 30 business days via mail (I have emails). I never received! I was in conversations with the COO and she cc'd the now President to ensure he took care of it. All of a sudden several high executives of the company left the company (communicated to me by the President). I was then told I wouldn't be receiving my security deposit any longer and that I needed to ask the parent company for my money (I did not have a contract with the parent company and they stated they have no accounts or information to assist us tenants who were left out to dry.) The parent company stated that they have received emails and phone calls from several of the past Westport tenants who were asked to vacate as well that experienced the same treatment as they werf directed by Plexpod to ask them as well for their money.

If you are looking for a coworking space in Kansas City, this is a great option! This space is…read morelocated on the fourth floor of 1800 Baltimore and they offer day passes as well as other rental options such as a dedicated cubicle and office space or simply a mailbox with a suite number. The vibe here is business-class with a bit of fun. The main area is a series of tables well equipped with managerial chairs and plenty of outlets. You can spread out on a table but still have someone sitting across from you to bounce ideas off or network. They view from these tables is absolutely incredible: downtown Kansas City and the Kauffman Performing Arts center. For a truly inspirational experience, work on the roof and really get to see Kansas City. The rooftop area has both tables and wi-fi so that you can be productive and enjoy the feel of the city. Entrepreneurs and other business people live on coffee and this place delivers. A full espresso bar with barista is available in the morning and in the afternoon it's help yourself. Two custom blends of The Roasterie coffee is available on drip. I recommend the SmartCoffee which is infused with cocoa nibs. Mmm. My favorite is to top the SmartCoffee with a shot or two of espresso and a shot of peppermint Torani syrups. Other amenities for rentals include a variety of meeting rooms and studio spaces as well as the entire sixth floor for large meetings. The copy room is well equipped with your typical office supplies such as binding equipment, card scanners and of course a copier and printer. Costs for these amenities depends on your lease package. The kitchen is well stocked with munchies and like a typical office environment, people often bring things to share. If you need something, just ask because the support team is very willing to accommodate. Located in the middle of the Crossroads district, there are a ton of eating establishments within walking distance making allowing you to park your car one place and keep it there all day. During busy times, parking can be a slight problem as there is no established parking lot and you'll have to find something on the street. During "First Fridays" art fair this can be a particular problem. Once you've outgrown working at coffee shops and need a focused place to work and meet with clients, coworking is a great option and Bizperc is my preferred choice in Kansas City for that right mix of amenities and fun.

Our group recently stayed at this ranch for a special event. While there were parts of the…read moreexperience we enjoyed, unfortunately there were also several things that made members of our group extremely uncomfortable. During our late-night horseback ride, the employee accompanying us touched the thighs of the women riding and got extremely close to, if not touching, one woman's butt. I was one of the ladies he touched. His name is JR. He also made a sexual comment to the youngest woman in our group about men who ride horses making better lovers because of their hip movement. This was completely inappropriate and made us uncomfortable. Earlier in the evening, the same employee had been drinking and continued inserting himself into our group's event. Telling us he had to stay during the bonfire even though the next morning a female employee told us that was a lie. He did not have to stay. During the horseback ride, we also witnessed him yelling at a horse, calling it names, and becoming physical with it, which was upsetting to watch. He would hit the horse in the face and call it a "dickhead." There were some additional communication issues regarding the horseback riding schedule and breakfast. I had reached out to the owner twice on us not arriving a three. When she communicated with me at the beginning I took it as we can check in as soon as 3 pm and check out as late of 11 am. However, she never told me the horse back ride was on a schedule. She also had poor communicate with answering and acknowledge my text on time we would be arriving and then was rude when we arrived. We had been told there would be cinnamon rolls for breakfast but were instead provided muffins that were available to everyone on the ranch. We also misunderstood the level of privacy we would have during the event. The owner later clarified that we had not paid for a completely private ranch rental. People were coming in and out of the table we were provided for meals to get food for themselves. However, those misunderstandings are minor compared with the conduct we experienced during the horseback ride. We brought all of these concerns to the owner and was told that she would speak with the employee and that nothing like this had been reported about him during his three years working there. However, I have found other complaints similar on the behavior towards the horses. I'm sharing our experience because I believe other women considering staying or riding here deserve to know what occurred during our visit.

I honestly don't know how to start this review. I have been boarding horses since I was 18 years…read moreold and I'm 54 now. I have NEVER had an issue at any other boarding facility, but this one place. The owner of Forbes Ranch, Kim, has made this whole experience a nightmare. Let me inform you of what happened to my daughter's horse since she has been at this facility. First, she basically starved our horse and then blamed us by stating it was because of her lowered work schedule and that her weight loss was due to her age. Ginger was 18 years old at the time. I was out of town on business, but called the vet immediately when I came back a month later. Her explanation did not make sense because her top line was gone and the vet put Ginger on a re-feeding program. That program is used for extreme weight loss typically due to starvation, not age or lowered work. It's absurd that her weight came back immediately after starting this program, right? I started buying my own hay because the basic level of trust was gone. She did not even deduct the hay from the board bill every month. It's funny because one of her main arguments is that this is not about the money, but the good of the horse. However, that's laughable because it is ALL about the money for her. She charges $4.50 a day just to keep Ginger in her stall that we already pay for every month instead of turning her out. This is also while Ginger is healing from an injury, so she couldn't go in the dry lot anyways. She also charges $1.50 daily to stir water in her grain during the winter months. It's unprofessional that she gives a boarding contract with a flat fee price and then changes the price by charging additional fees for the most nonsensical things. She doesn't even send you a bill every month over email or break down the amount, but just sends you the number over text instead. I payed less at A show barns when my daughter was competing competitively in California. That is complete insanity! I am not from Missouri and do not know the horse community out here. I was on waiting lists for other facilities in the area, but nothing opened up. It's been very difficult to find a good barn in this area close to our home. Besides that, she demands that you put your horse in a dry lot with other horses. We agreed to that because I hired a trainer to introduce them properly to each other. All was good, but one of the two horses left for 6 months at least. Everyone who has a clue about horses knows that an alpha mare (which Ginger is) will build a bond with the horse left and become protective. But not Kim, she puts the returned horse back in with them immediately. They fight, Ginger gets kicked, and receives a laceration on her leg and additionally re-inured her other leg from a previous injury. Kim did not even inform or ask us about the new horse joining Ginger again until it already happened. She sent us a video over text of it after the fact. Furthermore, she did not reintroduce them properly and we didn't even know or have the time to hire a trainer help again. The vet now states that she can never be ridden again. We are rightfully devastated. Ginger is still only cleared for hand walking. One thing to know about Kim is that she does whatever she wants and informs you after the fact, but finds it preposterous when you get upset, especially after your horse is injured because of her decisions. She told my daughter that she knows what is better for Ginger because she cares more and puts Ginger first instead of what we want to do. The whole purpose of putting the horses in the dry lot is because she doesn't have enough employees to clean the stalls or doesn't want to pay someone to cleaned the stalls twice a day. And then you have to argue with her to even let you clean your own horse's stall. She does not allow you to put shavings in your horse's stall either. She only permits her "green shavings" which are just shavings that are not kiln-dried. I have never been to a facility that doesn't allow you to have as many shavings as you want, specifically when your horse is healing from an injury. She charges you for shavings, but doesn't even let you know the amount she is charging you for because there are no bags to go off of. This boarding facility bosses you to the point of misery. You have to defend and debate with her about anything you want to do with your horse. It's exhausting! I totally understand and support rules at a facility to keep everyone safe. But DO NOT tell me how to take care of my horse that I pay everything for. This is the most vet bills we have EVER received compared to all the years we've had Ginger and when she was showing competitively every weekend. Never in my life have I been so disappointed in a facility. I truly am trying to warn everybody about the realities of this place. Kim tries to portray a high quality barn, but looks can be deceiving. She's a CONTROL FREAK!
