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

Shawnee moves to ease co-living ban that sparked lawsuit, national headlines

Shawnee’s governing body is looking to ease restrictions on the city’s controversial co-living ban that was approved more than four years ago by a different city council. On Monday, the Shawnee Council Committee directed city staff to make amendments to the municipal co-living ordinance that, among other rules, allows for three or fewer people to live in one house who aren’t related by blood, marriage, or adoption.

Latest on Kansas governor race, Chiefs pick builders for new stadium: Top KC stories

From an uncalled Kansas governor race to Sen. Josh Hawley’s post-midterm positioning, here’s a roundup of what’s making news in the Kansas City region. These are the top stories from The Kansas City Star: Democrat Cindy Holscher’s lead over Republican Ty Masterson has grown to 7,644 votes in the uncalled Kansas governor race, with 73 of 105 counties having completed the hand-count audits required when a margin is under one percentage point. All close-race audits must wrap up by Monday, Nov. 16 , before county canvasses review provisional ballots. After Republicans lost control of the House and Senate in the midterms, Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley is pitching a working-class GOP vision focused on social programs and skepticism of corporate power. Critics note his voting record often conflicts with the rhetoric — he warned against Medicaid cuts for months, then voted for Trump’s bill containing nearly $1 trillion in such cuts. The Kansas City Chiefs have named Clark Construction Group and AECOM as joint venture partners on their future stadium in Wyandotte County. The 70,000-seat domed facility is planned near the Legends and Kansas Speedway, with sitework set to begin in 2027 and the stadium expected to open in 2031. Holscher,

Johnson County GOP elects new leaders following major midterm election losses

Johnson County Republicans elected new officers this week as the party begins to forge a path forward in the aftermath of the disastrous 2026 midterms. The leaders were chosen during the Johnson County Republican Central Committee’s biennial reorganization meeting Tuesday night in Olathe. Their election came a week after the county’s voters flipped 11 of the 20 Kansas House seats that are expected to switch from Republican to Democratic control once vote totals are finalized. That means nearly a dozen new Democratic lawmakers from Johnson County will be heading to Topeka in January. Democrats are now expected to hold 25 of the county’s 27 seats in the Kansas House. Several of those races came down to the wire and may not be fully decided until all mail ballots are counted this week. “I definitely was surprised,” said Jerry Charlton, of Overland Park, the newly elected Johnson County GOP chair. He added, however, that “historically, you see these types of swings.” “There’s been worse, you know, in the Democratic Party and others as well. But it’s cyclic.” The county party elects its leadership every two years. But this year’s election, following a series of high-profile losses in Johnson County, could allow
