Big 12 leadership is changing, but Kansas City already has its biggest tournaments secured well into the next decade

Kansas City, Missouri – Kansas City’s relationship with the Big 12 has never been limited to a few tournament dates on the calendar. For generations, the city has been woven into the conference’s identity, and Mayor Quinton Lucas says departing Commissioner Brett Yormark helped make sure that connection remained strong during one of college athletics’ most unsettled periods.

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.

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

For more than six years, the curtains have been closed at the historic Rio Theatre in downtown Overland Park . The curtains could be raised very soon. Overland Park City Council is set to vote Monday evening, Nov. 2 on a deal that would help restore and reopen the movie theater on 7204 W 80th St. On Oct. 21, the Finance, Administration and Economic Development Committee unanimously directed city council to negotiate a funding agreement with Dream Theatre LLC, the group behind the push to restore and reopen the theater. The proposed agreement would provide up to $425,000 in city funding, with $200,000 towards helping Dream Theatre purchase the property. The remaining $225,000 will be “paid as reimbursement for exterior improvements and building stabilization upon theatre reopening,” according to the staff report. The theater that’s on the National Register of Historic Places shut down in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, and would reopen as Dream Theatre at the Rio. If approved, The Dream Theatre, LLC is required to deliver annual progress and operational status reports city council’s Finance and Economic Development Committee during its 10-year operating period.
