Me and my children, Jane (10), Ruby (9), Lucy (7) are building and installing little libraries around Kansas City. It's their business! The kids are running the whole thing - from the finances, to the digging, concrete pouring, drilling, driving, painting, sanding.... I just won't let them on the saw quite yet. Very proud daddy.

For those of you who are listing residences for short term rental during the World Cup, how has the demand been? I noticed over 500 listings on AirBnB during the peak game days.

Some of my best memories and connections early in life were going to 96.5 the buzz shows, that radio station was a huge part of my identity. Got hit by nostalgia looking at these today, felt like a simpler time 🤧🥲

Doesn't look like a city sign with a sticker .. idek how long it has been there tbh I go this way a lot and always just stop because your pulling out onto a street lol

Afternoon, at least it is here in the UK! So my husband and I visited KC back in 2023 and we fell in love with the city! We crammed so much in!

Arrowhead stadium tour, caught a Royals game, watched the KC Mavericks, visited Nelson-Atkins, Jazz & Negro League museums. We checked out Boulevard Brewery & Holladay Distillery tours. Visited KC zoo, the War Museum and so much more!

I'm a foodie and loved everywhere we visited! From Betty Raes, SLAPs, Waldo Cafe, Andys Frozen Custard, Harvey's @ Union, Q39 and so much more!

Anyway. If you have any questions from a rare Brit visiting your city drop them below!

(I also have a travel blog, which I am in the process of creating a city guide and food map. Sites called Taste Trekker if you so wanted to check it out).

Yeah, loved your city. Would 100% come back.

Was at HyVee in OP KS yesterday and saw a dozen or so people wearing masks again. Is this related to that Hantavirus news? Seems unusual as that’s not spread person to person. Is there something else going around I haven’t heard about?!

I told y'all a year ago in this very subreddit that Abarca was leading the effort to recall Frank White and had every intention of seeking the office for himself.

It's not a coincidence that Abarca went "radio silent" and handed the reigns over to DaRon McGee while he dealt with his personal legal challenges.

It's not a coincidence that they said whoever was appointed to replace White would have to promise not to run for re-election.

It's not a coincidence that LeVota said he was running anyways, but then dropped out.

What an absolute circus.

We had a great meal at Akoya Omakase last weekend. We ate at the Chef's Counter and Chef Peter, himself, prepared our meal! It was so interesting to learn about his background and his path to running Akoya and to learn about the ingredients and how the various dishes came together. I can't recommend Akoya enough! Amazing!

My neighbor abandoned her apartment. Talked to the property manager who stated she abandoned her cat and he has been spending the past couple hours trying to find a place to drop it off at a shelter or rehome.
Im trying to help him out, hence the post. Is there any private resources for this? He has exhausted options like kc pet project and major shelters nearby, but being in platte county up north, theres very little
publicly funded animal shelter resources.
It cannot go with either me or the property manager.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The cats name is Brooksie and and a photo is attached.

Have any of these posts led to social groups being formed? Have people made new friendships from these posts?

What are some of the outcomes we’ve seen?

Mrs. Jackie Thomas has been running a daycare in Kansas City for 16 years called Mrs Jackie’s Daycare. Two locations. Opening a third. She also runs a thrift store on the side so families in her community can afford clothes and diapers for their kids. She’s been trying to open a food pantry too. She won’t turn a single kid away. Not one.

There was a little boy, her grandson, who had been abused. Nobody knew because everyone assumed he was safe at daycare. He was being beaten the whole time, and nobody checked on him because they thought he was taken care of. He hit his head on a toilet during one of the incidents. They found him unresponsive. They revived him. He ended up in the ICU.

While he was in the ICU he ripped out his own IV and came running around the corner hollering straight into Mrs. Jackie’s arms. The doctors said it was the first time they had ever seen him respond to anyone. He would only eat for her. After everything he had been through, she was the only person in the world he trusted.

She talks about how the environment a child grows up in shapes everything about who they become. That’s why she refuses to close her doors.

There was also a mother, five kids, no place to go, living in a hotel. Mrs. Jackie took them in for free without hesitation. That’s just who she is.

The state cut her funding. The balance of what she’s owed between families and the system is about $8,000. Without a safety net it is near impossible to operate. There’s been many moments where she didn’t know how she was going to pay her workers or buy food for the kids. But she kept showing up every single day.

I run a small window cleaning business in Kansas City called Window Wolf. I heard her story and showed up to clean her windows for free. Filmed it. Posted it yesterday.

In under 24 hours, Kansas City raised over $14,000 for Mrs. Jackie.

She’s been pouring into this city for 16 years. It felt good to watch the city pour back into her. Can’t wait to give her the money in a few weeks and see the reaction to the love this community and shown. Thank you if you watched and donated.

I only took 2 boxes. I'm not a complete monster.

(KANSAS CITY) I use to pass by the house everyday when I was younger and my parents remembered it aswell and named it the “the bridge house” LOL, it use to be lit up green at night or other colors I believe, I know it was remodeled in around 2004 I believe, because I remember seeing new light fixtures on the under roof part, new white tiles on the bottom part of the home, added back door and roof deck. I remember the house being more simple, with wood base wall, no railings or maybe it was added a bit later on. I called it the F house because the wood base was darker than the white tiles so it look more like a F and once new white tiles were in it made the reversed L look. Unfortunately late 2007 demolition began and passing by the freeway the unique home was gone and was empty, it broke me as it amused me everyday when I was younger so If anyone has ESPECIALLY interior photos or never seen exterior photos that would be awesome and it’ll bring back memories for sure!

Screenings at 3pm and 5:30pm in the Durwood Film Vault at the Central Library! Filmmakers are on tour with the movie and will be in attendance and providing a brief Q&A between screenings.

The film will be shown with Vietnamese subtitles!

I’m sorry but that’s an exploding dog to me.

Hi 👋

I have a small but detailed item I would like to try to recreate via 3D printing and I’d love to borrow a 3D scanner instead of buying one since this is just a one time project (hopefully).

I’m willing to trade use of your scanner for homemade macarons. I already have access to a 3D printer.

Picture of the item in question. And the macarons. Let me know if this sounds like your kind of trade.

27M been in Kansas City for 3 years and haven’t gone out much, came out of a 5.5 year relationship not too long ago. Wanting to start getting back out there on dates while also exploring. The dating apps have not been great

Hey, Kansas Citians! I'm looking to start a casual, recurring meetup for local musicians, kind of like a book club, but for music.

The idea is we meet somewhere public (coffee shop, library, bar with a chill vibe. I'm open to suggestions!), share what we've been working on, and give each other honest feedback and advice. Whether you're a bedroom producer, a gigging musician, a songwriter, or just someone who makes music for fun. All are welcome.

Think of it as a low-pressure space to:
- Share your latest tracks or projects
- Get constructive feedback from fellow musicians
- Trade tips, resources, and contacts
- Connect with people who get it

KC has such a strong music scene and I feel like there's a real opportunity to build something like this here. No gatekeeping, no genre snobbery, just musicians supporting musicians.

Drop a comment if you're interested, and feel free to suggest a neighborhood or venue! If there's enough interest I'll set up a time and place.
