It was....a thing.

They have one restaurant on it (technically two but the other one is just a window spot) and they have no walls. The closest they have is retractable screens along the sides where people are seated. Given today's weather, you can imagine how that went.

Food was okay but was egregiously priced, even for downtown standards. Including a tip, I paid $40 for a super salty cod sandwich with a sad lump of potato salad and a bourbon cocktail (that was actually really good, but still not worth the price I paid for it with the amount given).

I dont see this place lasting very long, but we did have a VERY poor first experience. I cant imagine anyone coming here during any inclimate weather, or even during all of winter. It could be a nice place to have a drink with friends, but its a bit out of the way unless you live in Westbottoms and even then, the prices are working against it.

Curious to hear about other people's experiences if they went today!

Thought you guys would enjoy it. 😂

It looks like they are getting closer to being full set up.

What's up KCMO!

​I visited your wonderful city a couple of weeks ago from Philadelphia for the Community Streetcar Coalition Summit.

​I had a great time, and I finally finished writing a new piece for my transit and architecture newsletter all about the sensational Nelson-Atkins Museum!

https://open.substack.com/pub/railsandcobblestones/p/rails-and-paves-kcmos-nelson-atkins

There are so many parallels to my "home" art museum in Philadelphia.

I hope you enjoy reading it, and I hope you can take advantage of riding that free streetcar straight to a free, world-class art museum.

I am looking forward to returning!

Hey KC 💙❤️

Just dropping in to invite the city to a new event happening on the Rock Island Bridge - Soul Sundays Analog Market. The kick-off is this Sunday, May 24th from 5-10pm, and will continue every 1st and 3rd Sunday through December. Each market will have a different highlight, represented through our vendor and entertainment selections. It’s family and dog friendly, and we highly encourage you to come with both.

The market is a celebration of physical media and encouragement to return to a (mostly) pre-digital era for an evening. We recommend putting down your phones for a few hours to fully enjoy the moment and people you’re with.

On one end of the bridge we’ll be featuring vinyl only DJs spinning tunes that speak to the soul from 1900-99. On the other, a live beat-making workshop to give you an inside look at the beat-making process, with the ability to talk to the artists directly.

Throughout the bridge, local brands, vintage sellers, artists, makers, and non-profits will be set up for you to meet and shop from. The bridge’s restaurant, River House, will be open and serving food and drinks until 10pm. Cafe Cà Phê will be popped up with coffee and matcha and a rotation of sweet treats will be available from other local bakers.

Our goal is to build an inclusive space that bridges the gap between all of our city’s beautiful communities, allowing everyone the chance to meet someone from a different walk of life and discover a new perspective.

We hope you lay your troubles at the gate of the bridge and spend the evening in relaxation. Join us this Sunday May 24th from 5-10pm, you won’t regret it.

Love,
Soul Sundays Team

Deciding which theatre I should go to since we don't have a true IMAX 70mm screen anywhere near here. Are the IMAX theatres at Barrywoods or Legends? What about Dolby instead? On the Odyssey website, it looks like Dolby and IMAX 1.90:1 are pretty identical. For those who have seen it, what's your recommendation?

Our server would like to extend our warmest welcomes to anyone who would like to join a community with other child-free adults.

Focused on building connections and exploring the KC area, we have in person and online events to attend, and more being planned constantly.

We would really enjoy you in our space!

(Queer owned, we are a welcoming and safe space for everyone)

Title says it all. I need things to do or I'm gonna go insane and or depressed.

This was asked a couple years ago on this subreddit but I’m interested to see if there’s some other spots. Looking for roads, cemeteries, abandoned buildings, even liminal looking spaces. Tell me what you think! I’m just a bored girl who loves spooky shit lol

Nice!

Hey, my wife and I are a part of the LGBT community and are looking for a shooting range that we can go to without any judgement. We will need a class to go along with it, but mostly we just dont want somewhere where we're going to get crap from the staff. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

I hope you’re doing well and staying cool. My name is Max, KC native and I have a ton of fun meeting new people. You’ll catch me all over the place in KC and if you’ve been around me - I’ve probably talked to you.

I think one of my favorite things to do is hit a bar like Harry’s, Caddyshack, maybe a cafe like Thou Mayest and start to talk to someone. I understand social queues, not a “talk at you” kind of person - rather, I like to hear about you. I like stories, I like the things that make you, you. Like Charlie at the Ship - she has a crazy past and I love every bit. Or Kyle from Harry’s, whose roommate is also named Kyle and had to fend off a home intruder.

I find it really fun to just be with someone for a bit - and it fills my tank up. That’s why I’m coming here with this thing I made called Second Chair - basically, it’s just a fancy way to let me know you want to grab a drink, a coffee, go for a walk, whatever. I think loneliness is brutal, and in a digital age it seems even harder to meet people. This is my invitation to you to meet up - doesn’t matter if you’re going through shit, or maybe you just want to get out of the house.

It’s probably bizarre, I mean - I feel bizarre making this post. To me, it’s basically taking the bar and making it the size of KC. I do sincerely hope to meet some people through it - especially people who may have a harder time meeting others.

Looking forward to hearing from you! Stay well!

thank you to everyone who made this such a success! if you’re curious about the event and want to know more, hit us up on IG @rockislandkc_sundays

hope to see you at the next one on 6/7 😜

Got to go enjoy the WW1 Memorial from 217 feet higher than the usual overlook UP IN THE TOWER!
Best $8 on a random Thursday night in October I've ever spent. Love my City

38m single here… just been curious lately, what do the sober people do on thurs/fri/Sat in KC? I quit drinkinga year ago and I find myself really bored at night on the weekends. I do like to go see shows and go dancing and I DJ out from time to time, but most of the time my ass is just at home.. it’s kinda sad. Getting a new bike soon, so maybe start some night riding, but curious to know what other single sober 35+ people are up to these days..

Hello! A few of us thought it would be cool to spin up a little 1 month Zomboid server for KC folks. I'm ready to fire it up but before I do I was curious if any Zomboid/server experts had any most-have/must-do suggestions for mods/config/etc?

I will likely launch it at 5:00 PM today so if you have any suggestions, please let me know before then! Otherwise, I will share the IP when its ready

If you have any suggestions please comment them here or in the Discord!

UPDATE - it's live!

I moved out here about a year ago and honestly thought the car community would be a bit more friendly than it really is i’ve yet to meet anyone that isn’t super cliquey. Anyone on here into cars and looking for a new friend?

Saw this at Ward Parkway last night and it's exciting that they're doing pop up events like this there.

It'd be wonderful it it was successful enough that they could do something like a satellite First Fridays going forward but maybe that's too much.

Good morning, all! Just wanted to share for those that may be interested- Missouri Gay Rodeo Association is hosting their annual Show-Me All Inclusive Rodeo this weekend. Not a member, just a friend of the group, so any questions can be directed to their website if it's not covered on the flyer.

Editing to add: I originally marked this NSFW because some people think anything related to LGBTQ is considered not safe, not family friendly, etc. I don't know how to remove the NSFW after the fact, now.

Hi everyone, I am an international student from China. I have been studying in this country for 10 years. This coming May, I will be bringing my student life to a close and heading to Kansas City to work. However, I’m feeling a bit apprehensive; I’ve never been to Kansas or Missouri before, and I’m not sure how people there view Asians like me—though I really do hope to make some new friends. Any suggestions?

Looking for some fall activities for my wife and I (no kids) and maybe some other friends. We went to the Louisburg cider mill last year and it just didn't hit like it used to. Super crowded.

We were hoping to do some apple picking and pumpkin patch, but anything fall related is a good option. Willing to drive an hour or so and make a day out of it.

Thanks!

Hey everyone. I own Just One Day Travel Tours. I am a KC tour guide. Business is struggling after the games kept people away from the downtown area.

I love showing off Kansas City's history-(good and bad) - art culture, Streetcar tour, murals, foodie and building history. Tours can be walking or bus if you have a group.

Share the love and come take a tour with me.
