A Note on Yesterday’s Events

Good Morning Kansas City. KC Daily is focused on providing you with positive news, events, openings, and developments around the metro. However, we would be remiss if we didn’t mention the tragic events that occurred yesterday at the Chiefs’ Championship Parade. We offer our thoughts and prayers to those affected by the incident that occurred and want to thank the first responders who acted with bravery to handle the situation. We love this city. ❤️

Neighborhood Overhaul

Populous

Yesterday’s announcement of the Royals’ new stadium location brought a host of mixed reactions, with many local business owners pushing back on the proposed development.

Possible Displacement: The proposed 18-acre development would require several city blocks to be demolished to make way for the 34,000-seat stadium. Within this radius lies several small businesses and historic buildings.
Fighting the Inevitable: Many Crossroads business owners were not consulted on the development, as this site was a late entry in the list of possible locations. Now surrounded by uncertainty on the upcoming years of construction, many are unsure whether they can fight it.

In all the uncertainty, business owners and residents of the Crossroads neighborhood are left to balance fandom with livelihood.

Paris Baguette

An international bakery and cafe is expanding into the Kansas City market, with multiple Johnson County locations planned.

French for Delicious: Paris Baguette is a French-inspired bakery that specializes in pastries, cakes, and sandwiches. They also offer a drink menu as well as catering services.
From Wichita, With Love: Franchisee Mike Issa operates a Paris Baguette in Wichita, and has plans to expand into the KC market yet this year. The first location will be at 95th and Nieman Road in Overland Park, with two more undetermined locations in Shawnee and Olathe.
