Kansas City’s Triune has landed a national spotlight, ranking #21 on Yelp’s Best New Restaurants of 2025. The industrial-chic spot in Midtown has quickly become a local favorite for its inventive comfort food and warm, laid-back atmosphere. Founded by Steven Blakley, Triune takes its name from the idea of “three in one”, representing the harmony between atmosphere, service, and guests. Under Chef Rodolfo Rodriguez, the menu offers creative spins on familiar dishes, from coffee-braised short ribs with espresso-orange demi-glaze to a signature bread trio served with chili honey butter and rhubarb chutney. Yelp reviewers praised Triune’s attention to detail, cozy vibe, and “lick-your-plate-delicious” flavors, earning it a place among the most exciting new restaurants in the country.

A 137 year old building in Midtown is about to be demolished, and Kansas City has some feelings about it.

The Jeserich Building at 31st and Main has stood since 1888, but after years of decay it’s been ruled unsafe.

Some call it progress. Others call it erasure.

Either way, it’s the end of an era for one of Midtown’s oldest corners.

Leawood City Council has approved the rezoning, preliminary plan, and preliminary plat for Hallbrook North, a $765.7 million mixed-use project by VanTrust Real Estate—marking a major step toward transforming 34.2 acres near College Boulevard and State Line Road. The approval also includes a height deviation, allowing the project’s headquarters building to rise up to 200 feet tall. Hallbrook North will feature 1.4 million square feet of space, including corporate offices, 400 apartments, a 145-room hotel, retail, restaurants, and green space. VanTrust is seeking $125 million in incentives, including TIF and CID funding, which will go before the council in the coming months. During Monday’s meeting, 8 council members expressed support and signaled optimism about officially approving the full development soon. If finalized, construction could begin in 2027 and wrap up by 2030, bringing a new employment and lifestyle hub to Leawood.

“KC, I’ve never had a city show up for me the way you have.” ❤️ —

The Missouri-born artist just shared a heartfelt thank-you after performing in her home state, calling it one of the most emotional nights of her career.

From the mural in Midtown to a sold-out show at National WWI Museum and Memorial, Kansas City made sure she felt the love. 💕🤠🪩

Real Property Group has proposed The Rise, an 11-story mixed-use high-rise that would become the tallest building in Lenexa City Center. Located on a 1.5-acre site at 87th Street Parkway and Renner Boulevard, the project would feature 132 apartments, about 7,500 square feet of office and restaurant space, and structured parking. The design includes 56 one-bedroom and 76 two-bedroom units, an outdoor pool and amenity area, and a rooftop restaurant with a bar. With Finkle + Williams Architecture and Renaissance Infrastructure Consulting leading the design and engineering, the development’s preliminary plan will go before city planners this month, followed by City Council review on October 21.
