Missouri Republicans are trying to split KC into 3 congressional districts The redistricting effort could break up Kansas City's strong Democratic district and create another Republican seat in Congress.

I'm not normally a political reporter, but this one has big ramifications for #KansasCity.

Got another one coming out tomorrow about the special session's other goal: making it harder for voters to pass laws.

Chick-fil-A pop-up downtown Kansas City eyes restaurant Chick-fil-A's first foray into Kansas City's urban core will depend on traffic over the trial period.

So 582 people downtown KC said that Chick-fil-A was one of the top retail choices they want to move in β€” and now it has. Wondering if the other 32,000 people feel the same? πŸ‘€

Really proud of this one: Women's sports bars are springing up in multiple cities, growing from one to 11 in just three years.

Sad to see this and the Lightwell location too. Seemed like a fine idea on paper, but I never saw Lightwell busy. I hope we can get more foot traffic in the business district, and I hope the new Plaza owners do more to activate the area.
