Soft Sips: The soft opening is happening today from 4-10:30pm at 404 W. 75th St. in the heart of Waldo. Owners Laura and Howard Turley are taking their love for spirits to the people, offering a curated selection of wines and bourbons.

Where’s Waldo?: Audrey’s Wine + Bourbon has been a project in the making for the past year, with the interior featuring 1920s-style decor, warm blue walls, and hardwood floors. They will also offer pairings, showing guests how the flavors of wine & bourbon can complement each other.

Return of the Kings: KC was once home to the Kansas City Kings, an NBA franchise that played at Kemper Arena from 1972 to 1985. The franchise relocated to Sacramento in 1985, where they call home to this day. Prior to landing in KC, the franchise was known as the Cincinnati Royals, but eventually changed its name to avoid confusion with the baseball team.

Uphill Battle: Although Kansas City has been tossed around in NBA expansion talks for years, we likely face an uphill battle landing a franchise in the near future. Seattle and Las Vegas are the two clear front-runners for domestic expansion, with a Europe-based league also on the horizon.
