⛲️ Got The Dub

Local Her-story: The Dub will celebrate its grand opening this Thursday (10/16) at 2pm. Founders Monica Brady and Rachel Glenn have been hard at work over the past year to transform the former Banksia space at 105 W 9th St. in downtown KCMO into a community-focused hub for women’s sports.

Got The Dub: The Dub will resemble other sports bars with TVs showing sports, food & drink, events, but with a unique twist - it will prioritize women’s sports. KC Current matches, WNBA games, women’s college athletics, and more will take priority, but men’s sports will occasionally be shown as well.

Down the Road: The new storefront will occupy the former Chico's space, featuring an expanded sales floor, updated interiors with natural light and warm textures, and an enhanced selection of contemporary brands. Founded by Joni Johnson in 2020, Clairvaux has built a devoted following with its carefully curated women's clothing, accessories, and gifts.

Local Styles: The new location inside The Shops of Prairie Village will offer personalized styling appointments and exclusive in-store events. Construction begins in early next year, with an anticipated opening in the spring of 2026.

For the Kids: Children’s Mercy Kansas City Hospital was ranked No. 2 in the state of Missouri for best children’s hospitals while being nationally ranked in nine children’s specialties. St. Louis Children’s Hospital-Washington University was named the top children’s hospital in the state with 11 national rankings.

Health at Home: While no children’s hospitals in the state of Kansas received any national rankings, the University of Kansas Hospital was named the No. 1 overall hospital in the state of Kansas, being nationally ranked in 7 specialties and dubbed “high performing” in two specialties and 20 procedures/conditions.

😢 Going Home: After ten years being in business, The Homesteader Cafe will close its doors at the end of October. The American restaurant is located at 100 E 7th St. in KCMO.

🛒 Grocery Growth: Midwest grocery store chain Dillon’s announced it will expand into the KC metro, opening a store in Olathe at the corner of College Avenue and Sunnybrook Boulevard.

🥤 Cans of Cannabis: Boulevard announced the release of Berry Jane, a THC-infused Quirk. It is non-alcoholic but contains Delta-9, a legalized derivative of industrial hemp.

🇺🇸 Honor at the Station: This past weekend, Union Station celebrated the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps with a tribute to our veterans.
