  • "KC Local Pulse: Flood Warning, New Traffic Light, Fiserv Headquarters, and Earth Day Celebrations"

    "KC Local Pulse: Flood Warning, New Traffic Light, Fiserv Headquarters, and Earth Day Celebrations"
    2025/04/22
    Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 22, 2025.

    We wake up today to a city on the move, and clouds overhead as a flood warning remains in effect until this afternoon. If you plan to be out and about, especially in low-lying areas or near Brush Creek, watch for rising water and allow extra time for your commute. Highs will climb towards the upper seventies, and we could see more showers into the evening, so keep an umbrella nearby.

    Overnight, city crews continued work on the new traffic signal at 51st and Troost. This addition comes after a decade with four tragic fatalities at that busy intersection. City officials hope this new light will make the area safer for all of us moving through midtown.

    In breaking news from our business front, Fiserv, a major fintech company, announced plans to open a regional headquarters in Overland Park. This move could bring an estimated 2,000 new jobs to the Kansas City area, a significant boost to our local job market in a time when many families are looking for good opportunities close to home.

    Turning to real estate, we’re hearing from agents across Johnson and Jackson counties that spring listings are picking up. Median home prices are hovering just under $300,000, with open houses drawing more first-time buyers than we’ve seen in recent months.

    On the community scene, Earth Day celebrations are happening all across the metro, with Sporting Kansas City partnering to plant trees at Corrington Park on Thursday. That’s part of the citywide effort to add 10,000 trees by the summer of 2026. KCATA’s Adopt-a-Stop program is also in action today, empowering volunteers to help clean and green our bus stops and surrounding neighborhoods.

    Sports fans, it’s a busy week. The Royals begin a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies at Kauffman Stadium tonight, with lefty Kris Bubic taking the mound. Over at Swope Soccer Village, Sporting KC II hosts Tacoma Defiance tomorrow evening. And if you’re cheering for our young athletes, note that the Kansas City Wide Open disc golf tournament is coming to Liberty, bringing some of the nation’s best competitors to our metro.

    On the safety front, police are investigating a late-night crash now classified as a homicide near Lee’s Summit after a destructive chase that started in KCMO. Meanwhile, federal authorities have charged a local teen in connection with the recent fire at the Tesla dealership. In Overland Park, a 93-year-old woman sadly passed away following a crash earlier this month, underscoring the ongoing need for caution on our roads.

    In school news, two Shawnee Mission South students are recovering after a prom night crash, and community members have rallied to support their families with meal trains and donations.

    Finally, for a bit of good news, Olathe’s Geo’s Gourmet, a small Brazilian bakery facing rising import prices, is pushing forward with expansion plans, determined to bring more sweet treats—and hope—to our neighborhoods.

    This has been Kansas City Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Local Pulse: Tesla Firebombing, Deadly Crashes, Royals Action, and More Kansas City Updates

    Local Pulse: Tesla Firebombing, Deadly Crashes, Royals Action, and More Kansas City Updates
    2025/04/19
    Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Saturday, April nineteenth.

    Let’s kick things off with breaking news. A Missouri college student has been arrested in connection with the firebombing of two Tesla Cybertrucks at a Kansas City dealership. Federal investigators say nineteen-year-old Owen McIntyre allegedly threw a homemade Molotov cocktail at the lot while on spring break last month. He now faces multiple federal charges, and authorities are treating this as a serious crime, promising tough penalties for copycats. That’s the second Tesla-related attack in the region reported this week.

    On the public safety front, Kansas City police are investigating a deadly crash from Thursday night as a possible homicide. In Olathe, a twenty-three-year-old woman was shot Thursday evening, but police quickly took a nineteen-year-old man into custody. Also, a father and son have now been charged in connection with a fatal dog attack last November right here in the city.

    Turning to City Hall, the Missouri attorney general has filed a lawsuit, accusing Kansas City of being too slow to release public records. Residents have been vocal about transparency, so we’ll keep an eye on whether this lawsuit brings any changes to how quickly we can access city information.

    Now to the forecast. If you’ve been waiting for a break in the rain, today brings a welcome stretch of dry, mild weather. Expect morning clouds to give way to sunshine by midday, with highs in the upper sixties. It’s a perfect day to get outside, whether you’re heading to a park on the Plaza or catching a game.

    Speaking of sports, our Kansas City Royals face the Detroit Tigers in game three of their four-game series this afternoon. Seth Lugo takes the mound for us. The Royals are underdogs today, but Bobby Witt Jr. is coming off strong performances, and fans are hoping for some fireworks in Detroit. In soccer, the Kansas City Current are back at CPKC Stadium tonight to take on the Houston Dash. The Current remain unbeaten so far this season, with star Debinha making league history last week by joining the fifty goal, twenty-five assist club.

    Local schools are in the spotlight as well. Governor Laura Kelly is pushing for the restoration of more than twenty million dollars in federal funding for Kansas schools, money that’s crucial for recruiting early childhood educators and training teachers. Some programs have paused while the state negotiates with Washington.

    Our business scene is lively despite persistent economic concerns. Small businesses are adapting creatively, and a beloved Brazilian bakery, even with supply chain challenges, is forging ahead with expansion. And don’t miss the appliance sales tax holiday running across Missouri this week, a great chance for folks in Kansas City to save on essentials.

    Looking at real estate, Kansas City’s housing market remains active, though higher interest rates are leading buyers to spend more strategically. Job postings across the metro are steady, with a range of positions open from health care to tech.

    As for community highlights, we have a feel-good story out of Brookside, where neighbors recently rallied to clean up a local park, donating time and supplies. Their hard work turned a neglected area into a gathering spot for families just in time for spring.

    A quick health reminder: state health officials have confirmed a case of measles in a traveler passing through Missouri, so anyone who visited the Clarion Inn in Garden City should watch for symptoms and check their vaccination records.

    That wraps up Local Pulse for today. We’ll see you tomorrow with more Kansas City updates.

  • KC Local Pulse: Spring Cleaning, Storms, & Community Giving

    KC Local Pulse: Spring Cleaning, Storms, & Community Giving
    2025/04/17
    Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Thursday, April 17, 2025. Our Thursday starts with a bit of warmth in the air, but we’re keeping an eye on a chance of isolated storms this afternoon. If you’re planning to head out for errands or community events, grab an umbrella just in case. Tomorrow looks drier with temperatures staying mild.

    City Hall is buzzing as we kick off the annual Great Kansas City Cleanup. Across neighborhoods from Brookside to the Northland, volunteers are spreading out to tackle litter, spruce up parks, and show some civic pride. If you want to join in, the city’s website has a full list of meeting spots and supplies are provided.

    In breaking news from the public safety desk, three KCPD officers were injured overnight in a crash involving two patrol cars. All are recovering and there’s no word yet on whether weather played a role. Meanwhile, Lenexa police report a warning to residents: thieves have been targeting USPS mailboxes, stealing checks and committing $500,000 in fraud. Kansas Citians are urged to use secure drop-off points for important mail.

    On the jobs front, Overland Park’s Aspiria campus may soon see a major boost as city officials review a proposal that could bring two thousand new jobs to the area. This could have a ripple effect on job seekers all over the metro. And over in real estate, Jackson County is gearing up for the 2025 property assessments. Amid concerns from 2023’s turbulence, officials say they’re working closely with homeowners to ensure a smoother process this year.

    Turning to local business, the buzz is already building around 1587 Prime, the new steakhouse set to open downtown next summer, backed by Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. We’ll keep an eye on construction at Main and 14th. On the culture calendar, this weekend brings the 43rd Kansas City Wide Open—one of the biggest events in disc golf, welcoming pros and fans alike to Blue Valley Park.

    School news takes us north, where Park Hill district families are raising concerns about changes to special education programs. Meanwhile, Blue Valley Schools have just passed a new policy to keep certain offenders off school grounds, aiming to boost student safety.

    Sports fans, it’s a mixed week. The Royals fell just short in New York, swept by the Yankees in a tough series, dropping their record to eight wins and eleven losses. Today, they travel to Detroit with Michael Lorenzen set to start on the mound against the Tigers. In football, Chiefs General Manager Brett Veach spoke this week ahead of the NFL Draft, stoking excitement for what’s next in Arrowhead.

    Let’s end with a feel-good story. This weekend, a local benefit concert featuring an American Idol winner is rallying the community to support a Blue Springs police officer battling cancer. Tickets are still available for those who want to help and enjoy some great music.

    This has been Kansas City Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
