Meet Rieger, the Dog Who Survived a Night on J. Rieger's Roof
Rieger, a 1-year-old Shepherd mix, is now available for adoption at KC Pet Project after a wild story that captured the hearts of Kansas City.
Ruff Night: On the evening of March 6th, Rieger landed on the tent covering J. Rieger & Co.'s outdoor garden bar, with staff suspecting he was thrown from a nearby bridge. He spent the entire night wandering the tent and part of the roof before staff arrived the next morning, coaxed him down with chicken, and called Kansas City Animal Services for a two-hour rescue operation.
From Roof to Home: KC Pet Project named him after the distillery that helped save him, and Rieger is vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and goes home with a free bag of food on adoption day. He's currently available for same-day adoption at KC Pet Project's main campus in Swope Park.

Say hi to Rieger!

A Local’s Guide to Which Paint Sheen You Should Use in Every Room
Choosing the right paint sheen can make or break a room. Too much gloss in a bedroom feels cold. Too flat in a kitchen shows every fingerprint. Here's a quick guide from the team at Mission Painting.
Decisions, Decisions: Flat or matte works best on ceilings and low-traffic rooms — it hides imperfections beautifully. Eggshell is the go-to for living rooms and bedrooms, offering a soft warmth that's easy to clean. Satin is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways where moisture and traffic demand durability. Semi-gloss belongs on trim, doors, and cabinets — it's tough and easy to wipe down.
Trust the Experts: The right sheen depends on your home, your lifestyle, and your light. Not sure? Mission Painting's Best tier includes a free professional color consultation — we help you get it right the first time.

Development
19-Story Data Center Planned for Downtown KC
New details have emerged on a proposed 19-story tower in downtown Kansas City that would house a data center.
Tall Proposal: The project at 934 Central St. is being planned by Miami-based Revitalization Unlimited and designed by Chicago's renowned Skidmore Owings and Merrill (SOM). The project will not seek a tax incentive, meaning a potential annual tax contribution of several million dollars to the city
Data & Coffee: At 384 feet, the slender tower would be the tallest of the recently proposed downtown high-rises, featuring a red brick, glass, and metal facade designed to blend with the surrounding neighborhood. The ground floor will include a 4,440 sq. ft. commercial space ideal for a restaurant or cafe. Data center IT racks will fill the floors above, with ventilation levels positioned high to minimize noise and heat at street level.
Learn more about the proposed tower from Chris Stritzel at The KC Pulse HERE.
