Afterword has officially confirmed it will close its doors on January 31, with a final celebration planned for January 24. The announcement reflects months of uncertainty, but the team expressed deep gratitude for the Kansas City community that supported the bar and helped create what they described as “real magic” at 19th and Grand.

Until closing, .tavern.shelves is continuing its food-drive initiative benefiting Harvesters, offering cocktail discounts for donated items, and hosting its last two Open Mic Nights on December 8 and January 12. General Manager Kate Hall shared heartfelt appreciation for both patrons and staff, calling the experience one of the most meaningful chapters of her life, and noted that the team is actively seeking a new location to carry the Afterword story forward.

Kansas City pizza is getting national attention after Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy stopped at several local shops for his “One Bite” reviews.

Portnoy scored Northeast Pizza in Pendleton Heights a strong 7.7, Pizza Tascio in North Kansas City an impressive 8.1, and longtime favorite Minsky’s a 6.5, calling it “the opposite of what I like.” Portnoy is in Kansas City for events tied to the launch of legal sports betting in Missouri and has been making the rounds at local pizzerias.

His reviews are known for generating huge surges in customer traffic, and the high marks could give Northeast Pizza and Pizza Tascio a major boost.

Kansas City is rolling out two newly wrapped KC Streetcars to amplify excitement ahead of the FIFA World Cup 26™ Final Draw on December 5. Created in partnership with KC2026, the designs showcase the city’s Host City branding, nods to its famous fountains, and recognition of the event’s Official Supporters.

The streetcars will run from the River Market to UMKC through July 2026, serving as a moving symbol of the city’s pride as it prepares to welcome fans from around the world. KC2026 CEO Pam Kramer and KC Streetcar Authority Executive Director Tom Gerend both highlighted the streetcar’s role in bringing visibility, energy, and connection to this global moment. Kansas City is set to host multiple Group Stage matches, a Round of 32 match, and a Quarter-Final next summer, with additional World Cup promotions and activations on the way.

The Housing Authority of Kansas City has approved a historic $2.6 billion development plan that will reshape public housing across the city. The multi-year initiative calls for more than 7,100 new and redeveloped homes, replacing existing public housing with mixed-income communities designed to support long-term neighborhood growth. The plan also includes a new Class-A mixed-use headquarters that will serve as a central hub for resident services. Alongside modern housing, HAKC aims to expand economic opportunity through job creation, support for resident-owned businesses, and new homeownership pathways for low- and moderate-income families. Leadership says the effort goes beyond construction, positioning the project as a catalyst for dignity, stability, and upward mobility for Kansas City residents.

Kansas City saw its first major snowfall of the season today, with 2.9 inches recorded near Kansas City International Airport, breaking the previous Dec. 1 record of 1.5 inches set in 1985. Snow totals across the metro have reached 2 to 4 inches so far, and more accumulation is expected through the afternoon. The rapid snowfall created hazardous travel conditions, leading to multiple crashes and stalled vehicles on highways and city streets. Kansas City Public Schools announced an early dismissal beginning at 10:15 a.m., while several districts across the region shifted to virtual learning and canceled evening activities in response to the deteriorating weather.

It’s waaaaaay too cold for November 😭

Kansas City might start crushing ATVs used in illegal sideshows — and honestly, I get it. After the new Waldo mural was ruined within weeks, it’s clear the current system isn’t working. A new proposal would let the city seize and destroy these vehicles instead of handing them back. The resolution hits City Council on December 2.
