Fog Disrupts Morning Commute, Protests Across Kansas and Missouri, Sporting KC Hosts FC Dallas
Published 10 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for June 14, 2025. We're starting off with a busy morning in Kansas City. The city is waking up to a dense fog advisory, which was in effect until 9 AM this morning, affecting central, north central, northeast, and west central Missouri. This fog has made driving conditions hazardous, so be sure to slow down and use your headlights if you're on the road.
Today, thousands are expected to participate in the "No Kings" protests across Kansas and Missouri, with several events planned in the Kansas City area. These protests are part of a nationwide movement against authoritarianism, with rallies scheduled in places like Mill Creek Park in the Plaza and Overland Park. Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe has activated the National Guard as a precautionary measure.
In sports news, Sporting Kansas City is hosting FC Dallas at Children's Mercy Park tonight. The team is looking strong with only four players out due to injuries, and the match will be available to stream on MLS Season Pass via Apple TV.
On the business front, downtown Pleasant Hill is seeing significant growth with renovated buildings and new investments. Meanwhile, Latino businesses in Kansas City, Kansas, are experiencing a decline due to growing ICE concerns.
In local crime updates, a medical call turned into a homicide investigation near 34th and Broadway in KCMO, and a motorcyclist was critically injured in the West Bottoms early yesterday.
We end with a feel-good note: a local Jewish family-owned hardware store is showing solidarity by displaying Stars of David in their window. This has been Kansas City Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
