Moose,
Things have changed a bit. After Bryant's death, the business was sold to a
group of local investment bankers. I was, well, disturbed about it's
prospects for the future, but it remains as it was, although as you
mentioned, it was cleaned up. And fortunately, the neighborhood has been
cleaned up a bit, the parking is no longer covered with broken beer bottles.
And whatever you do, don't miss his burnt ends!

If you, like I, hate too sweet BBQ sauce, or worse, sauce where the first
two ingredients are catsup and corn sweetener, then you are in luck. Try
Arthur Bryant's sauce. Arthur Bryant was said in a TV documentary on BBQ
to be the proprietor of the worlds first BBQ restaurant, in Kansas City,
Missouri.
Proprietor, not founder, although he is the one who ran it forever and made
it famous outside of KC. According to
Wikipedia, he is also the one who added some molasses to Henry Perry's
original vinegar based sauce.
His sauce is vinegar based, like some east coast sauce, and it is
delightful.
I ate there in the late 70s.when Arthur was still actively running things,
including greeting customers, then hustling
them into the line. The Q was excellent. The huge steel basket full of cuts
of meat in the smoker/oven was sure impressive.
I recall thinking that the whole place was probably held together with
grease. EVERYTHING, was greasy, although I didn't
touch the ceiling. From current pics, it appears that some time after his
death, someone seriously steam cleaned and
repainted the whole place. :-)
At that time, it was in what looked like a disaster area, about the only
healthy looking building standing for blocks.
