I have a couple of jackets that need repairs and alteration. I stopped in at Thread the Needle on Somerset in Prairie Village - the location is super convenient for me and their website says they do simple alterations and hems so I was hoping they could be my new regular tailor.

I’ve never been treated like this in my life! I walked in, wasn’t greeted by either of the two people present, so I just said Hi, I have a couple of repairs, can you help me? The woman looked me UP AND DOWN, sneered, shook her head, and looked back down at her phone. It would’ve been funny if I hadn’t been so shocked. I left without saying anything bc I didn’t know what to say. For the record I was wearing what I wore to work as a teacher- cotton dress, cute tennis shoes, simple gold jewelry, hair and makeup done. Not fancy but certainly not messy or unkempt!

Has anyone else had this experience? They seem to have good reviews. Anyone have a better-mannered tailor in the area to recommend?

The KC Marathon is on Saturday morning so there's gonna be roads closing during the race.

Johnson drive is completely blocked through the major shopping district. They worked on that same stretch for like an entire year in recent memory. Then it was open again and now it’s completely blocked off again in a worse way.

You can’t get from one side of the small shopping district to the other without taking a 15 minute detour.

Then there’s the construction on Metcalf just west of the shopping district. This is some of the worst managed road closures I’ve ever witnessed. If you’re northbound on Metcalf anytime between 3PM and 6:30PM, you’re going to be waiting 20+ minutes to move half a mile. No exaggeration.

I don’t even live in this area or go through it often. I’ve only encountered this awful construction like once or twice per month but it’s so ABSURDLY BAD that I have to make this post. I can’t believe the people of Mission put up with this. I can’t believe the businesses of this area put up with this. I have actively avoided businesses in this area because I know it will be a massive pain.

Although I love a smash burger, I’ve been craving that thicc, pub style burger of late. It recently dawned on me that I genuinely don’t know where to get one at this point.

I’m sure the Flea is still open, but its been years since that was worth the trouble.

Anyone able to recommend a local joint that’s still serving a thicc burger patty these days? Ideally KC proper or south KC rather than north of the river. Thanks in advance!

Like the title says, I am looking for your favorite Kansas City restaurants that serve soup — of any variety — for my wife who wants soup.

Hey everyone! I’m in a band called Lost in the City and we’ll be playing a show with some amazing bands at The Rino in North KC tomorrow night.

If you like bands like Fall Out Boy, blink 182, The All American Rejects, The Used, etc. then you may like us!

The show starts at 8, but doors are open at 7! We’re local here to KC and we’re looking to make some new friends, so would love to see a few of you there!

Details from The KC Scene below:

The Kansas side of the Rock Island Bridge is set to open in November, with its own parking lot and an official west side entrance, according to an update shared at the Greenline Committee's October meeting.

Since the bridge opened on April 1, the only way on has been from the Missouri side in the West Bottoms. That means anyone coming from KCK has had to drive over to use it.

The details:

1. West side entrance and parking lot targeted for November

2. The full KCK Levee Trail system targeted for March 2027

3. Work has been slowed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers levee expansion along the river

The bridge is a key link in the Greenline, the proposed 10 mile trail loop around downtown

The Unified Government of Wyandotte County and KCK is building the west side access points, trails and ramps. The Kansas City Star reported in April that the western access point, including a trailhead and parking, was expected in fall 2026, with the rest of the trail system likely in 2027 once the Corps finishes its levee work.

---I was skeptical about the development, but it's consistently busy and seems to be doing well.

I lost my spiderman wallet about a week or two ago and have been looking ever since, (around south KC Blue Ridge/Longview) for some reason whoever found it is now just using the card. There’s nothing in it anyways. There’s literally my id, kpop sticker/face card thing, a condom and other bullshit. I just bought it a week before I lost it. I don’t recall losing it either. Personally idc about the card I just want the stuff inside it, it’s just memorable things. This is quite a reach to post but I’m trying.

Hi all! I just recently moved back from a 5 year stint away and am looking for a type of bar I had in my last city that would be comparable here.

It was a neighborhood cocktail bar, that had a great beer shot special, 6 regular bartenders that worked the same shifts (ie andy on Friday etc) and no TV’s (but I wouldn’t mind TV’s). Lots of regulars would come and everyone was social.

Moving back to KC in kinda missing that vibe. I’m on the ks side but 10-15 from downtown / Waldo / river market etc.

Any suggestions would be great.

Original bar I was a local at was the high lonesome in Denver if anyone’s been

The Hy-vee gas station on Hwy 291 in Liberty has certain Buzz Ball flavors for $ 0.50

30F would like to have testing done and a therapist for mental health help. Struggling with attachment issues, trauma, depression, etc. I do want to start taking medications for my mental health.

I have been told internal family systems would be the best approach for most of my issues.

How are we feeling about this weather? I’m running the 10k and I’ve been training a lot in this recent hot weather. Running in the 80s this week so far. Now the start for the races looks like it will be in the 40s. Crazy shift and this is my first event.

That is all..

Anyone go to Stapleton's Wed night? We are going Thursday. Just curious on the review of the show....crowd and parking since they said they were expecting such a big crowd, we can't leave super early due to jobs. Also, about what time he took stage and what time it was over

He was dining on a squirrel.

as title says. from about 11-11:10pm, a helicopter was flying small circles above gillham park and then flew off east. anyone have any idea what that could have been about?

Has anyone been hearing this helicopter flying around midtown for the last 20-30 minutes? It’s just going around in a circle, really low. It isn’t like a normal hospital copter…anyone know what’s going on?

We live in NW Olathe and looked out to see this weird glowing purple in the sky. What is it?

This picture is looking East , toward the I-35 / 435 interchange.

75 mph wind in the northland is the worst so far. We thought we had hail, but nope...strong wind throwing walnuts out of the tree and onto the truck. Had to go out in the rain and move a car away from the walnut tree! How's everyone else? We're down south of Raytown, not much here other than wind and just basic storm energy, but up north apparently got a tornado?

Literally thought a tornado was coming. Guess I’ll be hiding in my basement 😩

Edit: Sorry Liberty…

.

I would like to replace my front door and want to get something made of wood and glass. I’d prefer to avoid the big box stores as well. Is there anyone local in the metro who makes quality doors?

Thanks!
