West Bottoms vintage furniture store announces move to Mission next year

A vintage furniture store, inspired by mid-century modern aesthetics, is moving from its home base in Kansas City’s West Bottom’s neighborhood. Co-owner of Vintage Source, Dan Posch, got into vintage furniture around the COVID pandemic. Buying and selling was initially just a way for him to make ends meet, but over time, he rented booths in Bella Patina and River Market Antiques before finding a 7,000 square foot space at 1101 Mulberry St. in 2023 with co-owner Brad Graff. “It’s a really cool thing to get something that has that presence and that air that it’s lived a life before. To see it brought back to what it would have looked like new is just a whole different level. That’s the kind of pieces that we provide.” Vintage Source sells a range of mid-century modern pieces, as well as providing reupholstery and furniture restoration services. Posch and Graff even offer stereo console retro fitting, vintage audio repair and new build consoles. “There are certainly high-level upholsterers in Kansas City, but really, if you want something special like that or the retro-engineered stereo console, regionally we’re just about the only place, and that’s why we ship pieces all over the nation,”

Some of music’s biggest names played Kansas City’s high school gyms, converted ballrooms and hippie hangouts

Before The Who were rock legends, they were getting kicked off the stage at a suburban Kansas City high school. It was November 1967, and the British rockers were the opening act for The Buckinghams at the brand-new Shawnee Mission South High School. But when the band launched into its equipment-smashing finale during “My Generation,” the principal apparently had seen enough. The show was over.

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
