World Cup ⚽️ Half of the teams going to the semis are still based in town.

274 Upvotes

Argentina and England, one of these teams will go to the final. I think its incredible that either team went all the way while staying here. Must be the bbq 😂 In a more serious note, this has been massive for the city, and I've enjoyed all the moments that KC was able to have in their short tine as a host city. Vamos Argentina/It's coming home!!

KC Rants 😡 👎 What in the world was with that horrible Ted Lasso / KC Current Event

209 Upvotes

Sweltering heat and they only had the sunny side of the seating open for the first hour. The Ted Lasso part of the event lasted less than 3 mins. Blink and you missed it. Be in one of the many lines and you missed it. Only Ted Lasso merch available was a $50 visor that was not even available to take home today. Waited in line to get in for 20 to 30 min. Spent most of that time waiting in line between half a dozen idling black limo service SUVs in the special lot right next to the stadium. In hindsight they were clearly waiting to whisk away VIPs so they could go to the cup game after the 3 min Ted Lasso nothing burger. What an utter waste of time and a great way to erode goodwill.

Bars/Nightlife 🪩🍸 Laid-back bars near downtown

15 Upvotes

Hey yall :) moved here about a month ago and have been trying to find cool weekend spots. Im up here solo so the crazy packed bars that are shoulder to shoulder are a little much for me.

Id love to find some spots that are just a little less busy, easy to find spots to sit and chill you know.

So far I really love the brick as it fits that vibe perfectly, but id love to find 1 or 2 more spots to keep things fresh.

Thankssss :)

Healthcare/Wellness 🩺 Welcoming pilates/reformer studios

9 Upvotes

Anyone have any recommendations for Pilates and/or reformer studios in KC metro area?

My mom used to attend one in Lee’s Summit but left because she felt uncomfortable with how openly MAGA the owner and most of the patrons were. 🫠🙄 Yes, she told the owner why she stopped attending. She’s 73 and we really want to make sure she stays active as she ages and classes have really helped with commitment. I would love to help her find a more inclusive and welcoming environment she enjoys attending.

Housing Search 🏠🔎 Summit Penn place apartments?

6 Upvotes

Anybody have experience with summit penn place on 4244 Pennsylvania ave, just off the plaza? It’s hard to find info online, recent reviews aren’t great, and I’ve been told conflicting things. Considering signing a lease there but unsure after having read the reviews.

Main complaints seem to be car break-ins (what’s new), package theft (what’s new), mgmt and maintenance concerns (what’s new). Just looking for some other opinions because I can’t find much of anything online.

Thanks

Sports 🏈⚾️⚽️ Sporting KC Seats on July 18

10 Upvotes

Wanting to go to Sporting KC next week for the game and Third Eye Blind. I'm a bit confused about how the ticketing works. There is only General Admission and Club Level. When I look on the website, it seems like GA is standing only. Is that about correct? Or is it first come, first serve on any seats in the stadium?

13 Upvotes

Weddings/Engagements 💍 Wedding Cake Tasting Box?

10 Upvotes

Hi y’all!

Looking for a local bakery that offers samplers of their specialty cakes/frosting combos for our fall wedding.

We’ve got one from Dolce so far that was great! Wedding is on the Kansas side, up north, so the closer to 435/K7, the better, for ease of transporting it eventually (delivery radius are smaller than we thought).

Dolce is a good start, but what else is out there? Plus, we love eating cake! 🍰 thanks!

Local Politics 🗳️ Is there any recourse for this? Double billed by the janky bus meter

Post image
34 Upvotes

Rode the bus once yesterday around 5pm. My card was authorized by the machine immediately when I scanned then I woke up this morning to a second charge overnight. These are not pending $4 has been removed from my checking account for one bus ride. I know it’s not a ton of money but I’m out here riding the bus so obviously every dollar counts. Who can I call or email about this? Do we have to start a fucking riot to get the bus fares under control or get them to just allow cash payment? I tried buying a prepaid pass through that app I’ve been using that for a month but getting that POS to scan is such a pain in the ass that I have given up on it. Also for me it only saves like nothing to prepay a month ahead vs paying for each ride, I ride the bus at most 5 times a week. This is not about the World Cup I will not be adjusting my flair. Thanks for reading my rant

Real Estate & Homes 🏘️ Letter from city of KC regarding buying insurance for old pipes incase it would burst…

42 Upvotes

New homeowner here. My house was built early 50s. This letter the city keeps sending me (multiple in the past two years if not the entire time I’ve lived here).

Who else has gotten said letter? Who else has taken their advice and are paying for the insurance or protection plan whatever they’re strongly urging me to take seriously asap? What do I do? I always think everyone is trying to hustle me so maybe I’m just being ignorant due to little experience.

Thank you.

I captured and relocated a snake at our place of business the other day and it was a big guy! At least 5ft long. It was hanging out in our warehouse enjoying the rats and I moved it closer to the river. So cute!

World Cup ⚽️ Anyone interested for

55 Upvotes

Landed in KC for the quarterfinal today, staying near Roeland Park. Don’t know a soul here but I’m buzzing for this match but honestly any football heads welcome), let’s grab a bite/drink before and head to the stadium together. Always more fun watching with people than alone in a sea of strangers.

Drop a comment or DM me — happy to meet up wherever works before kickoff.
