In town visiting some friends this week and my wife is a huge bookworm. Looking for a unique bookstore in the area to take her to - bonus if it also has a good selection of books. She reads mostly non-fiction and loves historical NF.

The board approved additional spending from the American Royal’s $5 million payment to the Unified Government (UG) as part of its sales tax and revenue (STAR) bond issuance for the American Royal’s new campus.

My band is stuck at the Barton Ross Complex in KCK. We were taking photos at wyandotte swim club, when we showed up the facility was open with people playing baseball. We have gone back to our cars and the gates are locked with all of our vehicles stuck inside and no water and no way of getting home. We have been unsuccessful in finding any contact at all.

UPDATE: The owner coincidentally showed back up as I was trying all ten thousand options to his combination lock and was surprisingly very cool about it. He even asked us what our band name was. We have water and we're good now. Thank you to anyone who tried to help.

We came in for the Ted Lasso premiere, huge fans. It was a shot show.
They had no security to keep people from cutting in lines.
It took 20 minutes to get a First Aid person to see someone that got over heated.
The new apartments took up the parking space that was originally there. $18 to park a mile away on gravel.
They closed off one side of the stadium, the shaded areas to all the“friends and family of the stadium”.
No Ted Lasso merchandise, anywhere.
What a shit show. We will never attend another game or support them in any way.

Putting on a live show at Nighthawk (basement of Hotel Kansas City) on Friday, July 24th, and I'm realizing I have zero feel for how information travels in this city. Looked into flyering downtown and found out that's not actually legal without the property owner's OK, so that plan's dead before it started.

For people who actually live here — how do you find out what's happening around town? Do816, this sub, local Facebook groups, just word of mouth? Trying to figure out where to actually put effort instead of guessing and posting everywhere.

(If anyone's curious what the show is: it's Blondies Battle, a live audience game show — happy to drop details in the comments if you want them. We're raising money for Children's Mercy KC.)

Genuinely just trying to learn the landscape here, I've never been!

I’m a local portrait photographer in the Lawrence / Kansas City area searching for unique and interesting faces of all ages, people whose faces tell stories.

I’m especially interested in:

- Veterans in their dress uniforms

- People from different cultural backgrounds wearing traditional clothing

- Older individuals with strong character and life experience

- Anyone (any age) with a distinctive, compelling, or story-filled look

All photos are completely free. You keep full rights to the images, and I’ll send you high-resolution edited files, with a copyright release so you can have them printed if you want.

Shoots are relaxed, respectful, and usually take 20–40 minutes. My goal is to create dignified, powerful portraits that celebrate who you are.

If you (or someone you know) have a face that tells a story, I’d love to photograph you.

Please reply with a photo and a little about yourself.

Please be on the lookout for my friends son, Justin. He had been missing since June 15th. Please let me know if you have seen him! 💖

I was talking to a teaching in KCK and they had not heard about Sunflower Summer. This is a program sponsored by the state of Kansas. Every school age child in the state, along with an adult, get free admission at over 200 museums, zoos, and other venues all over the state. It's a great program! The app is available in the Apple and Android stores. Or you can google for the website.

Hello!

I accidentally bought the wrong day of tickets to the fifa fan fest last week and can’t refund the tickets. However I can resell the tickets.

Anyone interested in the two tickets for a total of $110 (what I paid). Gets you the garden access under the shade next to the big screen and a private bar.

DM me if you’re interested. First come first sold.

My boyfriend and I just moved to a new townhome community by legends. We set up T-Mobile Internet a few days ago and it’s already giving us issues. What Internet do you suggest? I work from home and need fast service. We also run wifi for our Rokus on two tvs, two phones, and a laptop. We cannot be restarting our internet every 20 min. T-Mobile is not working on my work computer and it’s hooked up to Ethernet. I’m already stressed!
