Johnson County Mexican restaurant closes last location after 13 years

After serving the Kansas City area for 13 years, a Mexican-style taco concept has closed its second and last location. Taco Republic closed its Prairie Village location Wednesday at 4100 W. 83rd St., marking the end of its brick-and-mortar era. “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making Taco Republic so special. We hope to see you before we say goodbye to our Prairie Village location,” the restaurant announced Thursday. It promised to continue catering, so its taco truck will still pop up around the metro. The “not-your-standard Mexican restaurant,” its website calls itself, started in 2013 at Mission and County Line Roads in Kansas City, Kansas, where Joe’s Next Door now lives. In 2019, restaurateur Whitney VinZant took over Taco Republic and added it to his growing portfolio of concepts in the metro, which now includes Louie’s Wine Dive, Gram & Dun, Louie’s Reserve (formerly Cafe Trio) and BrewTop. Taco Republic opened a second location in 2021 in Prairie Village’s Corinth Square. It neighbored Johnny’s Tavern, Modern Market Eatery and BRGR (also a VinZant concept). Just a couple months ago, health concept Flower Child opened nearby at 3915 W. 83rd St. — and it’s already gearing up

Platte County headed into districts on losing skid but with reason for optimism

LIBERTY, Mo. — For a significant portion of the first half, Platte County provided the type of performance meant to instill confidence for the postseason ahead. Liberty North eventually broke through and romped to a 7-0 victory on Tuesday night but not without experiencing significant resistance. The Eagles were the larger school with a better record at Liberty North High School but not in the same definitive matter as a year ago.

Missouri Milk Comes In Glass Bottles Here, And Visitors Can Watch Them Get Washed And Filled Again

Soda-flavored milk. Cotton candy milk. Both come in glass bottles, and many of those bottles go back to the farm to be washed and filled again. I love that this Missouri dairy treats its returnable milk bottles like boomerangs. You pay a deposit, bring the bottle back, and it heads right into the wash line.

Native American Heritage Month is KC's heritage. Here are 5 ways to learn more

The Kansas City area was once home to multiple tribes of American Indians, and Native American Heritage Month (Nov. 1-30) will offer ample opportunities to honor that history. The Shawnee Indian Mission State Historic Site on the grounds of a 19th-century manual training school for Native American children is the area’s go-to venue for year-round programs and exhibitions. It also is the temporary site for the traveling exhibition “Trespassers Beware!: Fort Conley and Wyandot Women Warriors.” It’s important to note that for several years the Shawnee Indian Mission site has been in the news: first with allegations that Indigenous children who attended the school may have been buried on the grounds, and later, the ownership of the site has been disputed among Native American tribes, including the Shawnee and the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. The site and its ownership have been at the center of Kansas Legislation . Also during Native American Heritage Month is a book talk at the Kansas City Public Library-Plaza Branch, and the Indigenous Art Market in Shawnee. If you’re up for a day trip, Missouri's American Indian Cultural Center near Miami might be worth the 90-mile drive. It will be open only on weekends Nov.
