  • Sporting KC Faces DC, Chiefs Controversy, MO Job Growth Surges - KC Local Pulse for March 8, 2025
    2025/03/08
    Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for March 8, 2025.

    We're kicking off the weekend with some exciting news from the sports world. Sporting Kansas City is heading east to take on D.C. United tonight at Audi Field. Kickoff is set for 6:30 PM our time, and fans can catch the action on MLS Season Pass. The team has a few players listed as questionable, including defenders Tim Leibold, Jansen Miller, and Khiry Shelton, while newcomer Andrew Brody is out with a quad issue.

    In other sports news, there's been a development involving the Kansas City Chiefs. Wide receiver Xavier Worthy was arrested Friday night in Texas on a domestic assault charge. The team has not yet released an official statement on the matter.

    Shifting gears to the job market, we've got some positive news to report. Missouri had the second-highest job growth rate in the country last year, with a 2.8% increase compared to the national average of 1.4%. The manufacturing sector saw particularly strong growth, with a 5% increase in jobs from 2020 to 2024. This puts us in a new league economically, and it's exciting to see our state becoming more competitive.

    In real estate news, the streetcar extension along Main Street continues to spur development. Since 2017, we've seen over 1,400 new apartment units constructed along the route. This trend is expected to continue, with several new projects in the works.

    On the cultural front, the Truman Presidential Library and Museum has a new director. Mark Adams recently took the helm and is focused on increasing visitor numbers to experience their exhibits. If you haven't been in a while, it might be time for another visit to brush up on your presidential history.

    Looking ahead to community events, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is hosting a special exhibition on impressionist paintings this weekend. It's a great opportunity to see some world-class art right here in our city.

    In public safety news, the KCPD is reminding residents to be vigilant about locking their cars and homes, as there's been a slight uptick in property crimes in the Brookside area. They're increasing patrols but ask that we all do our part to keep our neighborhoods safe.

    Weather-wise, we're looking at a beautiful spring day ahead. Expect sunny skies with highs around 70 degrees – perfect for getting out and enjoying our city's parks or catching an outdoor event.

    And finally, a bit of good news from our schools. Pembroke Hill School's robotics team has qualified for the national championships. These young innovators are showing that Kansas City is nurturing the tech talent of tomorrow.

    This has been Kansas City Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • "Chiefs Fans Frozen, Schools Accredited, Sporting KC Struggles: KC Local Pulse, Mar 6"
    2025/03/06
    Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for March 6, 2025.

    We're starting with some breaking news today. Two suspects have been charged in connection with the mysterious deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans found frozen in a Northland backyard back in January. The homeowner and another individual are facing involuntary manslaughter charges after a 14-month investigation. This case has gripped our community, and we'll continue to follow developments closely.

    In education news, Kansas City Public Schools is celebrating a major milestone. The district has regained full accreditation from the Missouri State Board of Education, marking the end of a long journey to improve academic performance and stability. Superintendent Mark Bedell credits the success to community support and a strategic plan focused on student achievement.

    Shifting to sports, Sporting Kansas City is still searching for their first win of the 2025 season. They'll be heading to Washington D.C. this weekend to face D.C. United at Audi Field. It's been six years since Sporting last visited the nation's capital, so fans are eager to see how the team performs on the road.

    In business news, the ice cream scene in Kansas City is heating up. Betty Rae's, a local favorite, has opened its first franchise location in Omaha and has plans to expand to other states. Meanwhile, several new coffee shops are setting up shop in a bustling block that's already home to popular spots like Blackhole Bakery and High Hopes Ice Cream.

    We've got some exciting cultural events coming up. The annual Mardi Gras parade made its way through 18th & Vine, the Crossroads, and the Westside neighborhood yesterday, bringing colorful krewes and lively music to our streets. And for film buffs, the University of Kansas is hosting a four-day festival starting March 18th to celebrate the career of Oscar-winning screenwriter and KU professor Kevin Willmott, who's retiring from teaching this year.

    On the job front, Missouri saw impressive growth in 2024, with the second-highest job growth percentage of any state at 2.8%. This is great news for our local economy and job seekers in the area.

    In community news, Kansas City is extending its emergency cold-weather plan to last year-round, working with four area shelters to provide more beds and ease restrictions for those in need. This initiative aims to help individuals who've been kept out of shelters due to mental health, addiction, or other issues.

    As for today's weather, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with a high of 58°F and a low of 42°F. It's a perfect day to get out and explore some of the new businesses popping up around town.

  • KC Local Pulse: Wind Warnings, Turbulence Incident, Road Repairs, and Sporting KC Home Opener
    2025/03/04
    Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for March 4, 2025.

    We're waking up to a blustery day here in KC, with a High Wind Warning in effect until tomorrow evening. Gusts could reach up to 60 mph, so secure any loose outdoor items and be cautious on the roads, especially if you're driving a high-profile vehicle. Despite the wind, temperatures will be mild, reaching the mid-60s this afternoon.

    In breaking news, several passengers were injured due to turbulence on a flight from Springfield to Kansas City International Airport on Sunday. The incident occurred as the plane was approaching KCI, and emergency services were on standby upon landing. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported.

    Over at City Hall, the council is set to vote today on a proposed ordinance to increase funding for road repairs across the metro area. If passed, we could see work begin on major thoroughfares like Ward Parkway and Troost Avenue as early as next month.

    In business news, tech startup Quantum Leap announced plans to open a new office in the Crossroads Arts District, bringing an estimated 200 jobs to the area. The company, which specializes in artificial intelligence solutions, cited Kansas City's growing tech scene as a major factor in their decision.

    Sports fans, mark your calendars! Sporting KC kicks off their home season this Saturday at Children's Mercy Park. They'll be facing off against the Seattle Sounders, and we're hearing tickets are going fast.

    Looking ahead to the weekend, the annual St. Patrick's Day parade in Westport is set for Sunday. Organizers expect over 100,000 attendees, so plan accordingly if you're heading that way.

    In education news, Pembroke Hill School's robotics team has qualified for the national championships after their impressive showing at the regional competition in St. Louis last weekend.

    On a somber note, police are investigating a shooting that occurred late last night near 18th and Vine. One person was injured and is currently in stable condition at Truman Medical Center. Authorities are asking anyone with information to come forward.

    In real estate, the average home price in Kansas City has risen to $320,000, up 5% from this time last year. Realtors say the Waldo and Brookside neighborhoods are seeing particularly high demand.

    Lastly, a heartwarming story from our community: Local chef Jasper Adams of The Savoy at 21c has been offering free cooking classes to underprivileged youth at the Guadalupe Centers. The program aims to teach valuable culinary skills and inspire the next generation of Kansas City chefs.
