This Kansas State Park Has A Native Copperhead Population, So Locals Know To Watch Their Step

A copper-colored snake with hourglass bands can vanish into a pile of fallen leaves. That trick makes copperheads very hard to spot along wooded trails. And this park happens to be prime copperhead country. Copperheads are native to the eastern part of Kansas, where rocky woods and creek edges give...

Upscale Johnson County Mexican-style restaurant is opening soon. Peek inside

The inspiration behind a new Johnson County restaurant’s name sits on a warm plate, ready to be squeezed over a helping of brie and shrimp quesadillas. Every entrée at Local Lime is served with a fresh lime wedge — one of a few aspects that give the Arkansas-based brand recognizability. Though each of its four restaurants has its own flair, its modern, trendy style is replicated through its Southwestern tiles and geometric bar design. If customers see the “Mi Casa Es Su Casa” sign inside and smell the queso flameado sizzling, they’re likely in the right place. Local Lime will open its Leawood restaurant soon, marking the company’s entrance into the Kansas City market. Two of its other spots are in its home state, while another has landed in Tennessee. It’s been serving tacos and tequila for about 15 years, altogether. At a friends and family night in the KC metro Tuesday, employees showed select customers what’s to come once it officially opens on Monday. The spot will be at 5005 W. 117th St. in Leawood’s Town Center Plaza, overtaking the former Bravo! Italian Kitchen space. Servers on Tuesday practiced recommending items on the menu, which holds a few dozen

New Johnson County restaurant, sports bar opens. Burgers, beers, more

For 40 years, Brooksider has offered cocktails, beers and watch parties in its namesake neighborhood. The walls of 6330 Brookside Plaza have held festivities since 1985. Father-son duo Chuck and Jack Naylor, meanwhile, have owned the bar for about 14 years. But the pair added a new chapter to Brooksider’s book Monday, with the opening of its second location. This one is across state lines, though it bears the same name as its original location. Brooksider’s new space — 5001 Town Center Drive in Leawood — offers multiple levels of indoor and outdoor dining. Altogether, it seats 688 patrons. Customers can experience a more intimate setting by choosing to sit in the cocktail lounge-style section. That area aims to give a “date night” vibe, said general manager Ryan Proffitt, though it’ll still have some TVs to broadcast Chiefs games. (The menu will be consistent throughout the restaurant, too.) An outdoor patio has its own bar, fire pits, heaters and televisions so customers can sit outside as long as possible. Another interior bar neighbors two dart boards and a long, narrow sun room. An upstairs event space plans to open soon, though Proffitt said it’s not quite ready. “We’re shooting for

New KC-area coffee shop opens, bringing a taste of K-State to Johnson County

Between a steady stream of athleisure-clad customers Monday were a smattering of those sporting Wildcat-lavender sweatshirts and TWA tees. They stood inside what was previously an antique shop of 20 years. Those items have been cleared, and a row of first-class seats from a Delta plane currently lines an interior wall. A Nuova Simonelli espresso machine now hums atop a bar covered in reflective steel. Several aviation pieces — an old plane window, a wooden propeller, a suitcase from the 60s — were supplied by associates of the TWA Museum in Kansas City, a museum honoring the Trans World Airlines that was once headquartered in Kansas City and operated for several decades. It’s adjacent to the Charles Wheeler Airport downtown. Though it just opened, Kansas State alumni are likely already familiar with the new coffee shop in Overland Park. For the past five years, its original launch pad has been a popular fixture in downtown Manhattan. Flight Crew quietly opened its second location at 8025 Santa Fe Drive Monday, bringing an elevated (flight-themed) concept to downtown Overland Park. It’s open daily, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., starting now. Owner and founder Heather Hnizdil threw open the doors and crossed
