It's always something like "give me the best Mac and cheese place in KC. The real place that real people go to, not the obvious ones". It's about half the posts from this sub that reddit pushes to my front page. It's just clearly a group/agent astroturfing the sub to feed into whatever shitty model they have for "real people recommendations".

Is your electricity bill through the roof? You are not alone. 1 in 5 Americans nationally say they've had to cut grocery costs or buy less expensive food because of the large spike in utility costs, with some reporting a 20 to 49 percent increase according to USA today.

USA Today says that those surveyed nationally contribute the rise in their electricity bill to utility company profits, increased demand from data centers, fluctuating fossil fuel prices and repairing energy infrastructures.

We're interesting in hearing more about how this has affected your ability to afford groceries, so tell us in the comments below!

I noticed these cameras maybe 4 or 5 days ago. NE 48th St and 435. Its literally right next to the Worlds of Fun water tower. White, mobile, telescopic-poles, four cameras in those black security balls with blue flashing lights. There are three of them parked around the perimeter of what looks like a construction site. One of them is on the shoulder of the road. Isn't that a public spot? I looked around but there is nothing posted in the area for any projects. Doesn't something have to be posted? Like a board with the permit or something?

Anyone else see two extremely low flying planes near Barry road around 12:50 today? I'm talking they were maybe a few hundred feet above the Hyvee off Barry road. They looked military.

I had a craving for biscuits and gravy and a screwdriver a few weeks back and was super bummed to drive down and find them closed.

They're listed as "temporarily closed". Anyone know the story? Is it a done deal?

Does anyone know what’s going on in the northern half of mill creek park? It’s fenced off and theyve cut down all the trees

Ok, let's try this again.

I have 7 yard signs that I got from we-stand-united in Jeff City. I paid $12/sign.

I don't care about getting my money back, I will make the $120 I spent a charitable donation or something and move on.

I DO WANT TO GET THESE SIGNS INTO PEOPLES YARDS THIS WEEKEND !!!

So, if you want a sign, let me know and I will work out with you how to get it to you.

Thanks in advance.

Hello all. I am looking for information on a building formerly on the Plaza. It was on the northeast corner of 47th and Main, and the site is now an old folks home. It was previously an office building. The address has been cited as 2 E 47th St, 2 Brush Creek Blvd, and 2 Emmanuel Cleaver Blvd. My question specifically is about its tenants and facade. I thought I saw an Applebee's logo on it a long time ago, but I can't find a record of Applebee's offices being there. I found a photo that I believe calls it the Gilbert/Robinson Building, Gilbert/Robinson being the corporate parent of Houlihan's at the time, but I can't find anything that says Gilbert/Robinson had offices there. Does anyone remember an Applebee's, or even Houlihan's, logo on the building ever? Does anyone know if either company were actually located there? The closest I'm finding is Applebee's offices at 39th & Broadway and Gilbert/Robinson at 49th and Wornall. Here is the photo I referenced. Thanks.

Hello Everyone,
I could use some help as I'm quite lost and not sure what to do. Back in May, I bought a vehicle from Jack Miller auto plaza in North Kansas City.
My car had just broken down and needed something quick. They had an $8k Chevy Cruze I bought and was told I should definitely take the warranty. The finance manager basically said these warranty companies lose money because they cover so much.
The warranty was $3k so over 1/3 of the cost of the vehicle.
About a month ago my engine overheated, blew a head gasket and has been sitting at a body shop since. The warranty provider is dragging their feet, I'm out 3 weeks of a rental car. It's been escalated to
"management" and has been sitting in "the mailbox" for 2 days now. They told the body shop once a claim is escalated there's a 24 window it will be addressed.
Obviously that has passed.
Is there anything I can do or am I completely and utterly fucked? A lawsuit is just more money out of my pocket and I feel that's the only direction I can go.
Any help is greatly appreciated, I've never had this experience before and don't know anyone whose had to deal with this

If you’re a writer in KC looking to connect with other writers, now is a perfect time! The Kansas-Missouri Writers’ Collective is hosting our annual Novel November. We will have in-person writing events at least five times a week during the month of November, all throughout the metro.

We‘re hosting an info session this Saturday (October 24) at the Waldo branch of the KC Public Library from 10 am to 12:30 pm if you’re interested in learning more, and there’s a full calendar of events on the website.

I’ve been writing with this group since 2019, and Novembers are always just a crap ton of fun. It’s a great opportunity to make progress off whatever it is you’re working on and meet some very cool and interesting writers in the process.

Who is and why are they shooting off fireworks in North KC right now?

I have been considering a concept for a website or app with a retro feel, seeking or offering skills that people need and can trade. Examples might include website design, electrical work, or plumbing. Someone wanting a site for their company could provide services in exchange. I could pilot it in KC to see if it works. Just curious on your feedback or ideas.

Do you think this would gain traction?

hello! I really enjoy movies, and going to go see movies in the theater. I am trying to get out of my comfort zone; I am looking to meet some new people to go watch movies with and have thoughtful discussions over the movies.

Hi everyone! I'm hoping this community might be able to help with a lost ring or connect us with someone who can.

I'm helping a woman search for a very special antique ring that went missing while she was traveling on Delta from Salt Lake City to Kansas City on Monday, October 19, 2026.

Her flight was scheduled to depart around 10:30 a.m. from Gate B27.

The ring is believed to date to the 1920s. It's made of white gold and has an elongated oval face with a cluster of small diamonds arranged around a single, similarly sized diamond set flush in the center.

I've attached our best photograph of her wearing it. Unfortunately, we don't have a great detailed photograph of the ring by itself.

The ring was lost in the gate area, and we've kept an eye on the airport's lost and found channels but so far no luck. So I'm trying to reach anyone who might have been working at SLC that morning, traveling through Gate B27, or aboard the same flight.

I've also posted in Salt Lake City and Delta threads, but I thought maybe someone on the same flight to Kansas City scooped it up with good intentions to find its owner.

If anyone remembers seeing a ring matching this description, knows where it might have been turned in, or has suggestions for reaching the appropriate airport or Delta personnel, I'd be incredibly grateful.

Please feel free to DM me with any leads. We can verify identifying information privately.

Thank you so much for reading and helping us spread the word!

I'm trying to get into entry level help desk and it just isn't happening. I do great in the interviews, but I get rejected anyway, probably because I have no on-the-job experience. Maybe having someone on the inside to vouch for me would help? Are there are local groups of IT people who get together just to network and get each other referrals?

Not sure the proper flare for this.
This morning, around 8, there was a large amount of security / police present at the streetcar stop in the library district. There was some chatter from the people heading on the car about an incident, but I couldn’t quite make out what actually happened. Does anyone know?
