⛲️ Black Coffee, Heavy Metal

Rock On: Apparition Coffee can be found at 328 W. 85th St., inside the former Second Best Coffee space, which closed in late 2025. Apparition opened softly this week and remains open today (Wednesday), but will be closed on Thursday in order to prepare for a grand opening celebration on Friday, June 26th.

Black Coffee, Heavy Metal: The menu features a drip coffee, espresso, lattes, teas, matcha, and pastries, with subtle nods to heavy-metal music throughout the space and menu. Everyone seems to be raving about The Beetdown, which we still need to try.

Paint with a Purpose: It started with a simple belief: a company that transforms homes should transform lives too. Every gallon of Sherwin-Williams paint on your walls, every roll of tape, every drop cloth — a portion goes directly to anti-trafficking efforts right here in KC.

Summer Special: This summer, Mission Painting is hosting a Paint-It-Forward community event to give a KC home a full exterior transformation at no cost. We'll share the full story soon.

Coming or Going: Live music and complimentary tastings can be found throughout the terminal today (6/24), Friday (6/26), and Sunday (6/28). Three watch zones inside the terminal will show live matches: Vine Street Bistro, the Made of Kansas City Food Hall, and the Boulevard Brewing Beer Hall.

Global Entry: KCI has a display featuring flags of all 48 nations inside the terminal between Concourses A and B. KCI has welcomed thousands of passengers in the past few weeks, recording the second-busiest outbound day in its history on Wednesday, June 17th.

⚽️ Kickin' It in OP: Head to Hen House in Overland Park (11930 College Blvd) tomorrow and Thursday from 4-8pm for Kickoff KC. Complimentary tailgate tastings, games, giveaways, and more!*

🧺 Laundry Day: Waldo Wash & Tumble is open daily at 7964 Wornall Road with free wash + dry for a limited time! Locally owned, with self-service, wash & fold, and at-home pickup via Clean Cloud.*

🍎 Pay the Teachers: Kansas City Public Schools announced a 5% bump in base pay for teachers, counselors, librarians, and other certified staff — the highest pay increase in recent history. Starting teacher salary now tops $50,558.

😮‍💨 Well-Deserved Break: Joe’s Kansas City announced a return to its normal schedule, being closed on Sundays. Joe’s opened 7 days a week for the World Cup, but experienced a “significant strain on our team and our operations”.
