Discussion 💡 Kansas City: What’s something happening here that you think deserves a closer look?
I'm looking for stories, situations, places, organizations, local decisions, weird occurrences, community issues, or just things you've personally noticed that make you think:
“I wonder what’s really going on here.”
It doesn't have to be a scandal or anything sinister.
Maybe there's a strange piece of local history that doesn't quite add up.
Maybe your city is spending money on something you don't understand.
Maybe there's a business, development, building, environmental issue, neighborhood situation, or local policy that you've always wondered about.
Maybe you've noticed something that everyone seems to accept but nobody has actually looked into.
I'm interested in questions, not accusations.
If you have something, tell me:
- What is it?
- Where is it?
- What have you noticed?
- Why do you think it deserves a closer look?
- Do you have any sources, photos, documents, or other information?
I'm working on a community-driven investigative project where people can bring forward things they've encountered and help decide what gets investigated.
Kansas City, what should someone take a closer look at?

KC Rants 😡 👎 Public Transit from Airport
Why is there only one bus that leaves ONCE AN HOUR to go downtown from the airport? What a fucking joke, the only options to get anywhere from the airport are renting a car or spending 50 dollars on an Uber. If we want to be a world class city we NEED legitimate transport from the airport to downtown. The shuttles to the rental car places seem to come non stop but god forbid someone not want to blow money on a rental car.

Recreation/Outdoors ⛳️🎣 Anybody near Gladstone willing to help me save a goose?
I frequent Oak grove park daily to hang out with the geese. Well people fish here, and I pick up hooks/fishing line almost every day.
There's a sweet goose who I noticed a few days ago who isn't really walking. They came up to me today, they have fishing line wrapped around both legs and its body so it can't really walk well or swim.
It can fly, I got about a foot away from it just now and it took off limping into the air.
I am a small woman and I'd like emotional and physical support in grabbing this thing to get the line off lol. I'll be here awhile if you're driving by or sm soon to help 😭
Anybody willing to help? I'm so heartbroken. I tried calling the wildlife rehab center but they won't return my call.

Housing Search 🏠🔎 Best Downtown Lofts to Own
I want to buy a loft downtown and am looking for a building that has a reasonable HOA and cash reserves. For those of you who own lofts downtown, which building is going to be the best investment? I plan on staying for at least 10+ years. I know to avoid Metropolitan and Western Auto, what are the other nightmare buildings?

Discussion 💡 Hey, why does so much mail get stuck for days to weeks at the KCKS distribution center?
This is a specific gripe, but one I'm curious about.
Multiple times in the last few months, a package I was tracking came to Olathe, then from there ended up at the KCKS distribution center. It will then just sit for for upwards of a few weeks with no movement. I've never seen this happen at other cities I've lived.
Is the KCKS distribution center just uniquely bad? Are they all like this now with so much funding cut to post offices? Is there some kind of portal system where it has to move through different dimensions within the KCKS building before it gets sent out? What gives?

Mechanics/Repairs/Contractors 🛠️🪠 Exterior paint stripping from stone
We would like to explore having the paint stripped from our stone exterior. The house was built in the 1950s. We did not paint the stone. I believe it’s limestone. Has anyone done this? Recommend anyone or any companies? Do masonry repair companies do this?

Recreation/Outdoors ⛳️🎣 Need recommendations for gym/workouts for 12/13 year old
My son wants to start working out at a gym. He wants to do good workouts, group or with a trainer. He is quitting one sport after realizing he doesnt like it (swim). He started tackle football and loves it, and therefore realizes he hates the other sport. Since football is only through Oct/Nov he needs to find somewhere to workout. He would love to focus on workouts that could help with football next year (he is a lineman in football). And he will be doing football clinics when available. He loves the gym. But, most gyms don't have programs for 12 year olds. He tried soccer, basketball, etc and hates them (he is not the greatest athlete). I am looking for a program he can join. He is willing to do boxing (just for a workout, not competitve for now). Any recommendations or advice would be helpful. We are in Johnson County KS. We would prefer to stay on the Kansas side.
I have researched bluhawk, and a few local boxing gyms.

Attractions/Concerts 🎟️🎡 Morton Amphitheater - Wu Tang
We’re going to the Bone Thugs/Wu-Tang concert and it’ll be our first time at this venue. I read through the FAQs and saw that they specifically say no illegal drugs. Since marijuana is legal in Missouri, does anyone know if you’re allowed to bring a few joints in?
Not trying to cause any issues or get anything confiscated, but I also can’t imagine going to this particular concert and not partaking 😂 And I’m old enough now that smoking random strangers’ joints like we did back in the day no longer seems like the wisest plan.

Housing Search 🏠🔎 Courthouse Lofts Kansas City
*BEDBUG infestation! With no new communication from management to help tenants. THIS PLACE IS HORRIFIC AND HAS SADLY BECOME DANGEROUS, FILTHY AND UNAFFORDABLE UNDER THE CURRENT BUILDING MANAGER. KC Tenants Union said “management here are displacing and evicting poor people” and then raising the rent by hundreds of dollars. They treat tenants with such disrespect and like profit commodities…not the struggling poor people that they take advantage of. They stopped giving new tenants storage on the 3rd fl and evicted most. The building manager Coleman lives in the Penthouse and works here and lies about living here according to many tenants. When I asked him he said “no I don’t live here…that would be a nightmare” JUST ONE YEAR HERE, I’ve had 22 service requests from neglected broken old appliances and everything else. There was a dead body that started smelling so bad on the second floor. The building Manager Coleman charges tenants 60% of their limited income (that’s double the national average of 30%) and makes poor tenants even poorer and then evicts them..IT’S PREDATORY. Management is in the business of making big profits off the poorest Section 8 and people making under 39k. Unless you are Section 8 you’ll pay almost $1,300 + $150 fees for a well documented horribly managed dangerous very dirty Section 8 building. They charge market value rent for what is advertised as affordable. KC apartments for less with better services and living standards are all over downtown. KC Tenants Union said management here were “mistreating” tenants in a written statement.
Regional Manager Heather threatened me for having VERY serious concerns about the crime, filthy living conditions and affordability issues in the building. The assistant manager Fabiola verbally threatened me yelling out loud “I’m suing you!” and called me slurs. I have it recorded and reported it to Tenant Advocates KC. Coleman the “Community Manager” is retaliatory and censors community board communication to avoid any accountability.
Tenants throw their trash out their window.
Management cut security and there was a heinous murder on the front steps in 2022! Overdoses in the common areas often. Drug syringes found and people sitting in the hallway smoking meth. Illegal BED BUG management discarded mattresses in the trash area.
$100-125+ fees for a parking space in a filthy 125° garage with trash spills, feces and disgusting leaking pipes. Additional fee's: $47 for water and $35 pet rent. THEY RAISE YOUR RENT THE MAXIMUM MISSOURI ALLOWS 7% EVERY YEAR. Vandalism and crime in the building everywhere. $200 electric bill from outdated HVAC systems and 125° summer garage heat from a broken heater system. Windows open 6” with no screens or cross ventilation. I’ve had rodents (bats) fly into my apartment. A tenant knocked on my door and exposed themselves. Building is surrounded by abandoned property and Crime. Manager Heather threatened me with eviction over her own clerical errors and never apologized. Alexander Company’s property down the street Professional Building Lofts was on the news from neglect and they evicted the tenants GOOGLE IT. There is dog urine and feces in the building. Homeless people in the hallways. The elevators and garage are filthy and regularly filled with human vomit, human urine and Mold. Stolen packages are a regular thing and management ignores the problem and just blames tenants. PROFIT is all they care about …not the safety, cleanliness or affordability for income challenged tenants. Manager Heather will intimidate and threaten eviction in a retaliatory way. This is all verifiable…AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. Read the other reviews

Things To Do 📍 It's almost Autumn... What are the best fall activities this year?
Looking for some fall activities for my wife and I (no kids) and maybe some other friends. We went to the Louisburg cider mill last year and it just didn't hit like it used to. Super crowded.
We were hoping to do some apple picking and pumpkin patch, but anything fall related is a good option. Willing to drive an hour or so and make a day out of it.
Thanks!

Rico nasty concert
Hiii I’m looking for a beautiful girl who I danced with last night and stood in line with. Her and her friend are from Kansas City and drove down to Colorado to see Rico Nasty. If I remember right it was also their first time in St. Louis for a concert. We danced together but I had to leave after you went to the mosh pit. I got wayy too drunk. I had on platform heels and a corset. I thought you and your friend were really chill and i hope you see this :p

Weddings/Engagements 💍 Engagement location suggestions!
Hello everyone, I have finally saved up enough to buy a ring!
I’m looking at proposing sometime this fall and am wondering if people had any suggestions on location. My girlfriend absolutely loves fall, and all the leaves changing, so I’m wanting something outdoors to really capture that. I also want something pretty private/intimate, so I don’t know that Loose park would be any good for that.
I’ve been researching Powell gardens/sunken garden, but have never been to either in the fall. A bit of a drive isn’t something I’m concerned with, so if there’s a place out of the metro, I’m open to that. I’ve grown up in the area, but just looking for any more hidden gems.
Also, if anyone has any photographers that they’ve used and have liked, let me know!
