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.

West Bottoms vintage furniture store announces move to Mission next year

A vintage furniture store, inspired by mid-century modern aesthetics, is moving from its home base in Kansas City’s West Bottom’s neighborhood. Co-owner of Vintage Source, Dan Posch, got into vintage furniture around the COVID pandemic. Buying and selling was initially just a way for him to make ends meet, but over time, he rented booths in Bella Patina and River Market Antiques before finding a 7,000 square foot space at 1101 Mulberry St. in 2023 with co-owner Brad Graff. “It’s a really cool thing to get something that has that presence and that air that it’s lived a life before. To see it brought back to what it would have looked like new is just a whole different level. That’s the kind of pieces that we provide.” Vintage Source sells a range of mid-century modern pieces, as well as providing reupholstery and furniture restoration services. Posch and Graff even offer stereo console retro fitting, vintage audio repair and new build consoles. “There are certainly high-level upholsterers in Kansas City, but really, if you want something special like that or the retro-engineered stereo console, regionally we’re just about the only place, and that’s why we ship pieces all over the nation,”

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?

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,
