⛲️ Mi Casa, Su Casa

Mi Casa, Su Casa: Casa Ama is located at 8228 Mission Road inside of Corinth Square, replacing the former Salty Iguana. The renovated space features whitewashed concrete, wood accents, and greenery throughout, creating a coastal Mexican feel.

Coastal Tastes: The fresh, clean menu features small plates, Crudos, tacos, cast iron fajitas, main dishes, and more. It is accompanied by a menu of signature cocktails, wines, beers, and desserts. We taste-tested a few items, including Fried Whole Fish, Pollo en Mole, Flambéed Queso Espinaca, an Oaxacan Old Fashioned, and more. It all passed with flying colors!

Sippin’ History: Holladay is also the oldest distillery west of the Mississippi still operating at its original location. The distillery recently completed Rickhouse D, its newest barrel-aging facility, expanding capacity while staying true to traditional ironclad rickhouse construction. The newly named Ed Pechar Event Center was also dedicated this year, honoring longtime McCormick Distilling Co. Chairman Edward A. Pechar for his role in the distillery's modern revival.

Worth the Drive: Holladay offers guided distillery tours, bourbon tastings, scenic rickhouses, and a limestone spring once chartered by Lewis and Clark, all just 30 minutes north of KC. With the 170th anniversary celebration on the horizon, as well as National Bourbon Day (June 14) and Father’s Day (June 21) there's never been a better time to make the trip!

Caribbean Diamonds: The Diamonds open the season this Friday, June 12th, against the Atlanta Smoke in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The team will return home for a historic home opener at Legends Field next Wednesday, June 17th at 6:35pm, which will be the first-ever professional softball game at Legends Field. Fans can expect pregame ceremonies, special fan experiences, and fireworks.

Camp Out: On Monday, June 16th from 8:30am to noon at Blue Valley Recreation in Overland Park, the Diamonds are hosting a free youth softball camp with instruction and mentorship from players and coaches. More than 250 young athletes from across the region are expected to participate.
