The Unusual Thanksgiving Appetizer My Husband’s Family Serves Before The Feast Disappears Fast

Becoming part of a new family means learning new traditions, which can vary greatly between different geographical areas in the country. I grew up in Mobile, Alabama, and my husband grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, so there has been a bit of a learning curve culturally for the two of us when we visit our families. My husband’s family is massive (like more than 50 first cousins on one side, y’all), so holidays are a production around there. And even though Christmas is a big deal, Thanksgiving is a bigger get-together for the entire family. This makes sense in Kansas City: There’s good food, football, and it’s usually not too cold yet. What’s not to love?

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

Kansas City Council decides fate of proposed 20-story downtown data center

The Kansas City Council on Thursday knocked down a controversial proposal to build a data center skyscraper in downtown. Miami-based Revitalization Unlimited, a real estate investment fund focused on historic properties, proposed earlier this year building a 384-foot, 20-story tower made of brick and glass at 934 Central St., occupied mostly by data center equipment with a retail space on the ground floor, for a business such as a coffee shop. The development plan needed special zoning approval under city code. The project would have involved demolishing the historic Western Newspaper Union building, which has more recently been used for offices and short-term rentals. The developers have said the project was designed to complement the neighborhood, and its character and would be more akin to a telephone exchange from a previous era than a large industrial hyperscale facility. Downtown Kansas City already has a handful of data centers, include in the Star’s former green glass building in the Crossroads. They have said the noise level would be similar to an office building, while the data center would use a closed-loop cooling system that limits water use and would primarily use natural gas fuel cells to produce electricity through a chemical
