More than 300 children from across the metro poured into Arrowhead—not to cheer on the Chiefs, but to get their teeth checked out in what was coined the 2025 Dental Tailgate in September.

The youth were greeted not only by dental chairs and hygienists but also by cheerleaders, music and the occasional Chiefs player, who stopped in to give encouragement.

The Chiefs’ involvement brought a unique energy. Several players signed autographs, cheered kids through their appointments and, along with the cheerleaders, turned the clinical setting into something closer to a pep rally. “To see a child nervous about the dentist and then light up when a player kneels down beside them—that’s why this partnership matters,” said Anthony Davis, Chiefs Ambassador and former player, in a statement provided by the team.

Jamie Jones jokes that when he started cutting glass at 12 years old, the glass cut him more than he cut it. Today, those same hands that struggled with a makeshift carbide steel cutter now create stunning works of art across Kansas City.

Jones’ business, The Leaded Glass Studio, found its start in 1979 when Watson Memorial Methodist Church in Independence Square was being demolished. “They called my dad up at work when they were getting ready to tear down the chapel and said, ‘Hey, if you want any stained glass windows out of here, you better come get it now,’” Jones says.

Despite flourishing technology, Jones maintains an analog approach to the craft: He still sketches by hand, even after studying computer-aided design in college.

I wasn’t craving gelato on September 21st of last year. I was nine months pregnant, and my husband and I had just satisfied my hormonal need for salt and beef at the Snack Shack on Johnson Drive, a glorious greasy spoon that serves up smash burgers, onion rings and towering swirls of soft serve ice cream—a childhood favorite of mine. Ice cream, and its many varieties, was my stand-in drug of choice during that nine-month stretch of sobriety. But my belly, round and tight as a drum, was feeling particularly hefty and strained that day. I was having contractions. I just didn’t know it yet.

As we stepped out of Snack Shack and onto Beverly Lane, a massive food truck with a chalkboard sign reading “Gelato” sat parked in front of a brewery.

One of Kansas City’s favorite burger and wing joints has closed its doors – for now.

Kansas City’s hometown brewery, Boulevard Brewing Co., has announced the launch of two exciting beverages. One blazing a trail into new territory and another the return of a fan favorite.

First up, Boulevard‘s sibling brand Quirk Hard Seltzer is stepping into the hemp-derived beverage world with its new line, Quirk THC Seltzer. Berry Jane, a THC-infused seltzer made with real raspberry juice, is the first flavor to hit the shelves. It’s zero-proof and will be offered in 5mg and 10mg options, each in four-packs of 12-ounce cans. Expect to see Berry Jane on shelves in Missouri and Kansas this November.

Congressman Emanuel Cleaver introduced a dental health bill that’s aimed at encouraging public water systems to keep infusing their water with fluoride.

The bill was recently introduced by Cleaver and backed by a handful of other democratic congressmen and women across the nation. It encourages states to use current peer-reviewed information to make the best health policy decisions for their states.

While teaching a class, Katie Duffy, founder of the KC Mahjong Club, watched one of her students carefully study her tiles before jumping up to blurt out a triumphant cry of “Mahjong!” The woman then did a little celebratory dance around the table as the rest of the players erupted in laughter, their loss quickly forgotten.

The word that echoed through the room—Mahjong—is also the name of the game, and the laughter that followed captures its true draw: friendship and connection.

The social element of the game has fueled the growth of KC’s Mahjong community, luring players who are looking to make new friends, reconnect with old ones or simply pick up a hobby. The game is proving to have a multi-generational draw, with most classes attracting young adults through retirees. Duffy recently taught her youngest student, a 9-year-old.
