Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Saturday, April 12, 2025.
We begin with breaking news from downtown Kansas City. The South Loop Project has been officially named after former U.S. Senator Roy Blunt. Once completed, this 5.5-acre park will reconnect communities with green space, bike paths, and pedestrian areas right above I-670. However, federal studies have delayed the project, and construction is now expected to begin later this year. Officials are hopeful at least part of the project will be ready for the 2026 World Cup hosted here in Kansas City.
Turning to sports, the Kansas City Royals are on the road today, facing the Cleveland Guardians. Michael Lorenzen starts for the Royals at Progressive Field, with the first pitch set for 6:10 p.m. It's an uphill battle as Kansas City is the underdog, but with Bobby Witt Jr. leading the charge, fans are hoping for an upset. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Current are in action tonight against the San Diego Wave FC at Snapdragon Stadium. The Current are undefeated so far this season and look to keep their streak alive.
In hockey, the Kansas City Mavericks visit the Idaho Steelheads tonight at 7:10 p.m. Cade Borchardt has been on fire with nine goals in his last nine games, so keep an eye on him as the Mavericks aim for another win.
On the job front, Kansas City sees a steady demand for skilled workers, particularly in construction and logistics. Companies like Panasonic are expanding operations in the region, creating hundreds of opportunities. If you're job hunting, check listings in De Soto and near the downtown industrial areas.
In cultural news, the Kansas City Symphony will perform a free outdoor concert at Union Station this evening, celebrating spring with classical favorites. And tomorrow, the Art in the Park festival kicks off in Overland Park with local artists, food trucks, and live music all day.
Weather today is ideal for outdoor activities, with sunny skies and a high of 74 degrees. It’s a great day to enjoy the local farmers' markets or a stroll along the River Market.
From our schools, several Kansas City students excelled at the state science fair this week, with Lincoln Prep High School's robotics team earning top honors for their innovative programming.
Finally, in a feel-good story, a local man reunited with his lost dog after six months, thanks to a microchip scan at a Kansas City shelter. Both are now back safely at home, reminding us of the importance of pet microchipping.
This has been Kansas City Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
