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.

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

In Kansas City, Missouri Republicans look to rebound from a year of losses

After Missouri Republicans faced a series of crushing defeats in the midterm elections, the party’s incoming class of senators met near downtown Kansas City to discuss their priorities moving forward. The three-day retreat began on Monday with a reception in the evening, a full day of meetings on Tuesday that included a visit from the governor and a quick breakfast on Wednesday before senators returned to their home districts. Sen. Kurtis Gregory, a Marshall Republican, left the event with a feeling that senate Republicans were broadly aligned in their goals for the upcoming legislative session, which begins on Jan. 6. “Let’s say united for the most part,” Gregory said. “We all want to do certain things and we all have our ideas. It’s going to be a matter of figuring a way to make all of those mesh.” Republicans are seeking to regain their footing after Democratic wins chipped away at their supermajority – a two-thirds hold on both chambers of the General Assembly. However, the party still holds firm majorities in both chambers and every statewide office. Republicans also had a disastrous year for ballot measures as voters shot down a plan to eliminate the income tax with Amendment
