Sipping ice-cold lemonade — like roasting the perfect marshmallow, playing hooky to go swimming, or cussing out the Royals — is an essential ingredient of a Kansas City summer. And I don’t mean a cup of the powdered stuff you buy for a dollar from a cute child sweating in a driveway — you do that to be nice, not…
The copper pizza oven — the shiny, oak-burning machine behind the counter of the three-month-old Providence Pizzeria Co. in Grandview — has been operating at full force since July 11.

Tracy Torres, owner of the 16-month-old French Bee Bakery in Parkville, had a five-year plan when she gambled most of her savings on opening a cozy bake shop and luncheonette at 404 East Street in downtown Parkville. But it has been less than two years, she says, and her plan is moving much faster than she thought it would. “I had a dream…
Still got it? It sometimes seems as though Jerry Seinfeld is in the midst of a Springsteen-like freefall that has caused him to lose touch with his own greatness.

Panic at the Disco with Walk the Moon and Magic Man Crossroads KC, Kansas City Sunday, July 21, 2014 Panic at the Disco lives in the hearts of all millennials. It’s our first breakup music, our angsty middle school drama music, our first rebellion. The only question in my mind at the show last night at Crossroads KC was if…
Shout out to all the JOCO businessmen in the house! Breastaurants: They come in all shapes and sizes. Like breasts! It used to be that Hooter’s was the only game in town for men seeking a brief illusion of flirtation with shapely, skimpily dressed young women paid to serve them high-cholesterol menu items in a restaurant adjacent to their suburban…

San Diego dream team the Donkeys’ latest album, Ride the Black Wave, is full of wistful guitars and reverb-drenched haze. It’s the perfect soundtrack for a summer day at the beach — or a tipsy afternoon pretending you live in a state with a beach. Fans of U.K. psych-rock dignitaries Temples will likely find the Donkeys to be a laid-back,…
One of the biggest single expenditures for the crowded August 5 ballot arrived on Friday from the International Association of Fire Fighters Local No. 42, which wants the city to continue the quarter-cent sales tax supporting the Kansas City Fire Department.
