Illustration by Jack Raybuck Dear Dan: I started reading your column when I was a 20-year-old kid. Now I’m an old married lady with 20 years of (more or less) blissful married monogamy behind me. My oldest daughter, who is 23, just came out to me as a sex worker. She’s been making a slim living as a cam girl….
Photos by Zach Bauman We sent photographer Zach Bauman into the depths of the Chiefs celebratory Super Bowl parade. This is what he emailed to us. We have no idea if he made it home yet or not. Or even if he’s alive. The photos are very pretty though! Categories: Culture Tags: Chiefs, Chiefs Parade, Event photos, KC…

Snooze, an a.m. Eatery has opened on Broadway in Westport. The chain of brunch spots exists in a handful of states and this is their first venture into Missouri. A retro diner vibe is matched by some of the most hyper-enthusiastic servers I’ve ever encountered. (Seriously, the first two people I encountered through the door both wanted to engage with…

Photo courtesy of Starlight Theatre Going into The Office! A Musical Parody, I had no idea what to expect but I was excited. Even before the show started, there were cute details to take in. I picked up my specialty “Meredith Palmer” cocktail and took my seat, where the pre-show soundtrack played recognizable tracks from various episodes–songs like Supertramp’s “Goodby…
The only Democratic nominee to open a campaign office in Kansas City thus far has been Elizabeth Warren, over in Martini Corner. Well. That’ll change now, thanks to a bad tweet. On Sunday night, the President congratulated the Chiefs on winning the Super Bowl and said they represented the great state of Kansas very well. A few hours later, he…

Chiefs Victory Parade Feb 5 2020 // Photo Credit: Chase Castor We won the Super Bowl. We had a parade. You were probably there. Here are some excellent shots from our photographer Chase Castor, showing what this all looked like streetside. Point being: we’re a goddamned weird city and you love to see it!

Just ahead of this morning’s celebration, where up to a million fans are expected to line the parade route, a car chase nearly turned Kansas City’s big day into a tragedy. A car with multiple passengers hurled itself down the street, reversed multiple times, and attempted to escape at a high rate of speed. Initial reports indicate that the car…
Courtesy: Fareway Stores Neighborhood (and citywide) institution McGonigle’s Market has been purchased by Fareway Stores. What this means for the future of the much-beloved location appears to be complicated. The market at 79th and Ward Parkway will be expanding, following recent approval by the Kansas City Council. Next steps include finalizing the purchase and transitioning Fareway’s Meat Market operations into…
We have a celebratory parade tearing through town tomorrow. Early estimates think we may be looking at up to a million people attending. NOT A THREATENING AMOUNT OF ATTENDEES AT ALL. Certainly helped by all the businesses whose HR departments have given up on the uphill fight of keeping folks in the office. This is gonna be wild. All detailed…
Provided by O’Neill Events & Marketing It finally happened, the big win most Kansas Citians have been waiting for their entire lives. After a 50 year wait, the Kansas City Chiefs have won the Super Bowl. The week before the win, local businesses quietly planned the plan for the big “if” we won the big game, to close or not…
Photo by Don Ipock courtesy of KC Rep Alison Bechdel’s 2006 graphic novel Fun Home is a deep dive into childhood memories. The book isn’t just a biography—although it is that as well, as Bechdel shares with us the story of her youth. More than that, though, Fun Home explores how complicated it is to revisit those memories as an…
Photo by April Fleming Sometimes a cold, over-wintered, seasonally-affected heart just needs something green and bright—this calls for a trip to Novel for Tex Bush’s cocktail, the Iceberg Theory. This drink is clever because Tex is clever; he named it after writer Ernest Hemingway’s Iceberg Theory, which reflects Hemingway’s belief that the deeper meaning in a story should largely lie…
