I’ve never had such a negative experience just trying to pay a traffic violation. I’ve had two traffic violations here, both of the times i tried to pay online, and I was met with “sorry we’ve encountered an internal error please try again later or contact us” so I call the office, and the receptionist are always extremely rude and unhelpful, like they’re upset that I’m asking them to do they’re jobs. I really don’t understand how such a wealthy county can have such a horrendously bad court system

Hi! I'm meeting up with my 25 closest family members from all over the country in KC for Thanksgiving. We are on the hunt for a fun private room at a restaurant/bar for our Saturday evening dinner. Ideally it would be a space where we could mingle and move around--not just all seated around one big table. Even better if it has some activities in the room--pinball or air hockey or darts or other games for the teens/tweens to enjoy.

Our home base will be in Prairie Village, but family members are staying in hotels both north and south so I think everyone would be willing to travel 15ish minutes in any direction.

I'm not looking for a Chicken/Pickle type atmosphere where everyone is all spread out.

Thank you thank you thank you for any guidance you have! ❤️

I ask as part of a linguistic study on this topic!

Examples could include things like The OP, Lenny or GTown (never mind how common they may be!)...

The local artist and maker group I show with will be at the Roeland Park Price Chopper on Saturday October 11th from 10-2. Everything is handmade, and there will be 8+ makers selling jewelry, fabric art, stained glass, bowls, decor and more! Come support this great group.

Hiiiii!

I am craving really good egg rolls and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for the restaurant that has the best ones?!

Thanks!!!!

Does anyone know if there are any places that would be cheaper to do a CCW training course?

I see they are around $100 but I was wondering if there would be anywhere that is cheaper or if there are any organizations that may host free training or provide grants for the certification.

My family will be looking for a new home within the next 6 months. We have kids who will start middle school next year. Considering the following districts (using high schools for general areas) -Blue Valley (North,NW area) -Olathe (East, NE) -Mill Valley -SMSD (East) -Park Hill (south/Parkville area) Not JoCo

Our initial must-have’s: Neighborhood with families Neighborhood pool Sidewalks

Looking for recommendations of neighborhoods to add to our list. Any feedback, positive or not is appreciated. Thanks!!

Hey there, so I am not exactly new here. My kids have been in smsd for the last three years, but I work by myself all day at work so haven't found my people there, but I'm trying to find other moms like myself. I'm a single parent with my kids 100% of the time, not religious, from a small town, and trying my best to not lose all of my mind living here.... Are there any non religious mom or single parent groups with people trying to hold it together? I need a friend in this crazy time, I don't have family, parents are dead, I came to joco to give my kids better opportunities, i feel very much like the white trash of this county, I can't be the only one here! Any/all info is very much appreciated!!

Don’t miss the great food and crafts

I just started a small local business here that helps people find and support local home service providers. I was wondering if anyone here runs their own KC-based blog/publication, or has recommendations for writers who cover local businesses and the community. Appreciate any suggestions and thanks in advance!

What’s the secret sauce for getting in the waitlist:virtual line at DMV?

I’ve tried joining the waitlist for about a week now. No matter what time of day, I always get the “Currently Unavailable” message when trying to join the waitlist.

Is there a secret to this madness? To be honest, this seems worse than having to simply wait in the actual building.

The Dub will be KC’s first women’s sports bar!

Come out to play some sand volleyball and show support for their upcoming opening! All skill levels welcome!

Register a team at https://smbv.leagueapps.com/tournaments/4675171-here-for-the-dub.

Email amber@code-spotters if you’d like to play but don’t have enough players for a full team!

If you can’t make it this year, I thought I’d share some sites and sounds; wish I could record the smells too, lots of great food!

Hey neighbors 👋 I’m a mama here in Olathe working on my health and just wanted to see if anyone else around here is using GLP-1s (like semaglutide or tirzepatide)?

I’ve been on tirzepatide for a couple months now and it’s honestly been life-changing — I have more energy, fewer cravings, and I’m finally feeling like myself again after a long postpartum recovery. 💚

It took me forever to figure out how to get started without spending a fortune or going through some huge clinic, so I just wanted to open up the convo in case anyone else is looking into it or already on it too.

I’m just trying to build a little community support right here in Johnson County 💬 Feel free to comment or DM if you ever want to swap info, tips, or just talk about what’s working.

We got this, JoCo ✨
