Steer Away is leading the next generation in local punk rock

About six years ago, I Heart Local Music made a decision that we would no longer photograph teen musicians. We were worried it might do harm to their mental health, considering their age (by plastering their photo on the internet). But this week, we will make an exception for a...

5 Best Restaurants in Overland Park, Kansas You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Overland Park, Kansas — a city where the prairie wind carries laughter through leafy neighborhoods, where the skyline is a gentle rise of red-brick shops and sunlit parks, and where the scent of barbecue and cinnamon rolls drifts from open doors. Here, families gather for Friday night football, newcomers are welcomed with a slice of pie, and every street feels stitched together by memory and hope. This is a place where cultures mingle — Midwestern roots, global flavors, and the quiet pride of those who call it home.

How many concert tickets did Morton Amphitheater sell in its first season?

The inaugural season of Riverside’s new concert venue just wrapped up and in the eyes of Live Nation, it was a huge success. Andrew Newport, regional vice president of Venue Operations at Live Nation, and Dave Gerardi, market president of Missouri at Live Nation, met with The Star to discuss the first year of Morton Amphitheater , the 16,000-capacity concert venue that opened in June. Newport and Gerardi said that with the 43 concerts, the Riverside venue — with artists ranging from Kesha , Pitbull and Guns ‘N Roses to Dave Matthews Band , Bryson Tiller and Chris Stapleton they sold over 400,000 tickets . Many of these shows sold out according to their data, and it’s helping shape what concertgoers can expect in 2027. Gerardi said that Kansas City has historically been a great market for country music, with Stapleton and Brooks & Dunn selling out and high attendance for Tyler Childers, Tim McGraw, Thomas Rhett and Luke Bryan. He was surprised at the crowd numbers for electronic artists like Rüfüs Du Sol, Empire of the Sun and Tape B & Levity. Tiller, the trap-infused R&B star selling out the venue also came as a surprise. With his show

Is the owner of United Market at Linwood a grocery whisperer? He's opening No. 2

It might be becoming a thing. The guy who took over the former Sun Fresh in the Linwood Shopping Center to save a grocery store for East Side Kansas City residents in the Prospect corridor might have a knack for turning around urban markets. We’ll see, because that guy, Anthony Estrada , just took on a new challenge: managing another grocery store in what used to be The Merc Co+op, a community-owned market in Kansas City, Kansas. It’s a project Estrada said he’s been working toward for more than a year. And now it looks like he may be only two or three months away from opening what will be his second urban grocery store. It will be a United Market, just like the store he opened in May at 31st Street and Prospect Avenue in Kansas City. The Kansas store will have the same logo as the Linwood Shopping Center store — hands cupping a piece of fruit — and share the same color scheme, so he is going for a recognizable look. Like the United Market on the Missouri side, the KCK market will be owned and subsidized by the local government. Estrada has the management contract, charging

This new KC restaurant has customizable breakfast sandwiches and mom's meatloaf

There’s something about coming home — from travels, from college, even from work across town — that’s warm and fuzzy for Kory Roth. Maybe it’s because his mom’s meatloaf was waiting for him when he returned from studying abroad in Paris or attending college in Parkville. It’s also just as nice of a feeling when his wife returns home from working as a nurse at the University of Kansas Medical Center. What if that feeling of coming home could be evoked in a restaurant? That’s Roth’s goal with Marigolds, a new breakfast and lunch restaurant that opened Tuesday in a former Panera Bread, and located across the street from the major hospital campus. “We wanted a place where you could have a nice, warm meal and just relax,” Roth said. The Marigolds owner plays up that juxtaposition against what the space used to be and the medical campus directly across the street. The corporate cafe chain there before, as well as the hospital, are standardized, minimalist and sterile. Marigolds, however, is cozy and easy, especially thanks to a separate lounge area set up with couch seating, a TV, books and a simulated, electric fireplace. Much of the walls are painted

Beloved mural on Southwest Boulevard honoring KC Mexican community gets new look

In 1991, a handful of young Kansas City artists painted a mural on the long, brick wall of a self-storage company on busy Southwest Boulevard. Their artwork paid homage to the history, culture and pride of the Mexican-American community of Kansas City’s Westside. The public art project made news. It was led by a 23-year-old Kansas City Art Institute student who grew up in the neighborhood, the same woman who now, 35 years later, is spearheading the transformation of the wall — all 683 feet of it. For Jenny Mendez and a new group of artists, the Celebration of Youth Mural Project is about more than just putting paint on a wall. “I just hope that families and the community see it as something positive and see it as something that, even though they might have been attached to what was there before, ... as in everything it’s OK if it’s reborn, we redo it, we replenish it to make sure we tell a new story,” said Mendez. “I think as artists that’s probably the biggest part of it. We want to reflect things that are positive in the world and its neighborhood community ... they want to leave their

Creative ways to support birds and help them build safe nests in your landscape

If you’ve seen me around town, you’ll probably recognize one physical feature, even from far away: my afro, usually sporting some flowers. I frequently comb my hair outside and flick the leftovers into the wind. Not gonna lie, this started because I was being lazy and didn’t want to find a trash can. But it got me thinking about what happens to those strands once they blow away. Natural fibers don’t just disappear. Some become useful resources for organisms in the landscape. At my house, we have a bluebird box. However, the first season after we installed it, there wasn’t a bluebird in sight. Instead, a black-capped chickadee had set up shop, constructing her nest out of moss and dead grass. Right in the center was a clump of my curly black hair. There were also fibers from various outdoor furniture sources. If you enjoy birdwatching, you may have seen tufted titmice, orioles, and other small birds collecting materials for their nests. Birds are resourceful builders, but not everything they find is safe to use. Fishing line, for example, often gets left behind at ponds, lakes, and streams, either on the ground or in receptacles. If a bird finds it,
