Ponderosa site, now Jared's Jewelry_wm
Ponderosa Steakhouse stood at 9510 Quivira Rd, across from Oak Park Mall, for 30-35 years. It was right in front of the Safeway store that MadErnie posted, in a shopping center then known as Orchard Corners. (LOL!) Jared's Jewelry has a new building on the spot now. www.jared.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/home|10451|10001|-1|
Sadly, I did not get a pic of Ponderosa, before it came down. But type in "Ponderosa, 9510 Quivira Rd, Overland Park KS" on Google Earth, and you'll see the Ponderosa, facing north. Jarred's Jewelry sits there now, facing west, it appears.
And this is the Bing.com link. As always, it defaults to a map. Select Aerial first, to compare, then try Bird's Eye setting also. You can rotate on Bing.com too.

This Bing.com view shows clearly than Ponderosa (the building, if not the business) survived past the conversion of the Safeway, (By then, some other store) to a Circuit City, as the maroon entry portal is very obvious.
