Fatal U.S. 71 crash piques interest in what's next on redesigning a safer road

After a tragic multi-vehicle accident on U.S. 71 Highway in Kansas City on Monday, which left three people dead and several other people injured, interest has spiked in what’s next for the north/south thoroughfare that includes some of the most dangerous stretches of roadway in the city. For nearly two years, Kansas City has studied the road, also known as Bruce R. Watkins Drive, named for a former city councilman, and promised a reconstruction to repair problems created on the city’s East Side when U.S. 71 was built — including a Black community torn apart, environmental and noise pollution, and a serious traffic safety hazard. The reconstruction project, which city officials dubbed Reconnecting the East Side, proposes to turn the six-lane highway into a parkway at the request of Kansas City residents who attended a series of public listening and input sessions earlier this year. Out of several possible reconfiguration of the highway, residents were most drawn to a parkway design. Now, city officials say, they are finalizing a Planning and Environment Linkage study promised to be ready for public viewing this fall. This comprehensive study pulls together all aspects of the project and explains why a reconstruction is needed,

Popular JoCo doughnut shop opens first Kansas City spot, with drive-thru, patio & more

For the past 50 years, Mr. D’s has served coffee and doughnuts in the Kansas City area, though only in Johnson County up to this point. As of this week, it’s expanded its footprint to include its first location on the Missouri side — and the first one with a drive-thru, too. Mr. D’s has opened its third location (fourth, if you include its spot inside AdventHealth in Lenexa) at 2001 W. Pennsylvania Ave. in the Crossroads. The longtime shop is finally giving KCMO a taste of what Kansans have been devouring for half a decade. It took over a 10,000 square-foot building next to the highway, which was formerly a Pinnacle Imports wine shop. Owner Johnny Chen said his team wanted to utilize as much of the larger space as possible. “We knocked down almost half of it to convert it into a drive-thru, which is all covered, and a patio,” he explained. Even after cutting through the building, this is Mr. D’s biggest spot yet. Chen and his wife, Boggie Otgonbayar, have owned Mr. D’s for the past seven years. In that time, they’ve opened a spot in the Lenexa Public Market and brought their doughnuts to shops

Chicken restaurant inside a KC brewery has closed. What's next for the concept?

A restaurant known for its fried chicken has closed its operations inside a Kansas City brewery, but according to a social media post, it may not be the end of the business. Vine Street Chicken Co. , which served chicken wings, tenders and sandwiches, opened its restaurant inside Vine Street Brewing Co. (2010 Vine St.) in February and had hoped it could serve locals and visitors during the World Cup festivities in Kansas City this summer. But as of Nov. 7, Vine Street Chicken has flown the coop and left the brewery. “Thank you, Kansas City! Vine Street Chicken opened as an amenity for Vine Street Brewing Company, to help support KC during the 2026 World Cup,” the statement said on Instagram. “Our final day was Nov. 7.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vine Street Chicken (@vinestreetchicken) Vine Street Brewing co-founder and KC musician Kemet Coleman confirmed the departure of the chicken pop-up over text message. Vine Street Chicken’s closure, he said, will not impact normal operations at Vine Street Brewing. For now, there is no food vendor at the site, but guests can bring their own food to pair with Vine Street’s beers. “As the

Westport's newest coffee shop opens inside of former cigar shop

Bad Bunny’s “KLOuFRENS” played lightly over the speakers Tuesday morning inside a husband and wife duo’s new coffee shop, Yours and Mine, inside Kansas City’s Westport neighborhood. Originally from Zacatecas, Mexico, co-owner Mireya Miller grew up in Kansas City and fell in love with the restaurant business through her extended family’s restaurant in Mexico. “I’ve always known I loved coffee since I was a kid,” Mireya Miller said. “ (and) I always knew I wanted to have a coffee shop.” Mireya Miller, 31, who until recently worked at KU’s Dermatology Department, said she and her husband and co-owner David Miller III, 29, originally planned on opening Yours and Mine as a coffee cart. But in August, they came across the space for rent at 4112 Pennsylvania Ave. and decided to take the leap and open a brick-and-mortar. The shop’s name, inspired by wanting to evoke the feeling of being inviting and encouraging connection through coffee, was so buzzing during its opening last weekend that Yours and Mine quickly sold out of a week’s worth of its pastries. “The last two days we’ve been searching local bakeries and just grabbing pastries,” Mireya said, adding that they will typically be stocked with
