KC Local Pulse: Clear Skies, Roos Basketball Woes, Gas Line Incident, Plaza Jewelry Heist, Lincoln Debate Champs
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Sunday, February 15. We kick off with mostly clear skies today, highs around 62 degrees and lows near 45, with just a 6 percent chance of precip according to KSHB forecasts. Perfect weather for getting out to Crossroads or Loose Park, though a slight chill lingers from yesterday's fog, so bundle up for morning walks.
Our Roos men's basketball team fought hard last night at the Swinney Recreation Center but fell to St. Thomas 104 to 64. Chris Dockery led us with 13 points, showing real grit in the second half. They head to North Dakota on the 19th, so let's rally behind them.
City Hall news hits close to home: Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway sued Homoly Construction for allegedly ignoring snow-covered utility markings and striking a Spire gas line, risking outages around residential digs near Troost Avenue. We stay safe and call 811 before any projects.
No major new business openings today, but keep eyes on the evolving scene along 18th and Vine for fresh spots soon. Job market stays steady with about 4 percent unemployment locally, per recent state reports, and real estate sees median home prices hovering around 285,000 dollars, up slightly from last month amid steady demand in Brookside.
Crime report from the past day: Police made two arrests after a smash-and-grab at a Country Club Plaza jewelry store overnight, with no injuries but heightened patrols now in that area. Stay vigilant, folks, and report anything suspicious.
Quick school shoutout: Lincoln College Prep won their debate tournament at Rockhurst High, nailing topics on urban sustainability. Chiefs Kingdom vibes carry over with youth flag football results from Urban Youth Football league, where East Side teams dominated.
Looking ahead, join the free jazz night at the Gem Theater Tuesday, and don't miss the Valentine cleanup at Volker Park tomorrow. For a feel-good lift, community volunteers restored the historic fountain at Roanoke Park yesterday, bringing smiles to families picnicking there.
