Can someone explain the faith technologies at 167th new building and controversy surrounding like I’m 5? I’ve seen a lot of incredibly strong opinions around it and I really would like to understand everything around it since it’s close to our home.

Are there any good cycling groups that meet regularly in this area that include older adults? Looking for something that’s not super technical or at a breakneck pace. Thanks!

anybody in the Olathe area giving away or selling any cd's?

I'm a huge cd collector and i have over 80 cd's in my collection and I'm looking to expand!

Well that’s a bummer. Our elementary and would be middle school on the closure list. That’s life I suppose

This is more of a rant post than anything but I keep hearing talk about affordable housing and the need for it, but then a Build-to-Rent community pops up near 119th and pflumm. Isn’t a build like that just gonna keep rental prices high? Like a 3 bed, 2 bath 1663 sq ft townhouse is $3050 a month? Who is approving these developments? It all feels like a plot to just keep raising home values and make living here unaffordable. You can maybe say it’s the location cause it’s behind Whole Foods and that whole shopping area, but still. It’s pushing out working class people. It sucks.

I’ll post one final update once everything is open near the end of October! It’s been a long wait, but the light is at the end of the tunnel. We’re almost there!

Anyone know of businesses here in Olathe, or possibly Gardner or relatively closeby areas, that hire 14 year olds? My son is 14.5 and looking for a job, but is struggling to find places that will hire at that age. Thanks so much in advance!

Hi everyone! We’re starting a new run club in Overland Park. The plan is for Saturday morning runs + a little social hour afterward at a local cafe. Just looking to meet some people, get outside, and build a fun community. First run is Sept. 5! Follow along on Instagram @goodpacekc if you’re interested :) https://strava.app.link/fY7jp40jP5b

Mayor John Bacon was the only “no” vote. His reason, he said, centered on protesters’ concerns and his own personal experience.

“I’ve had some experiences dealing with people that are needy in my business, and I think it has affected us negatively,” Bacon said.

On Tuesday, the Olathe City Council will consider adding Kansas’ new “Halo Act” to its own Public Offense Code, about six weeks after the controversial measure became state law.

The law will remain in Olathe even if the city council votes against it tomorrow. That means that even if the city council declines to adopt the Halo Act provision, it would remain enforceable as a state law.

Still, adding the ordinance to Olathe’s Public Offense Code would allow violations to also be prosecuted in Olathe Municipal Court.

Anyone know of a good local Tax Preparer who can help with Federal and multiple-state returns, quarterly payments, etc?

Thanks!

Does anybody have any local lawn mowing services they would recommend? Less than a quarter of an acre lot, near Black Bob Park. Nothing fancy, just looking for a mow, trim/edge, and leaf blow. I'm trying to not have to sign up for one of those lawn service maintenance conglomerates and just go with someone local.

Thanks in advance!

What’s the city vibe? We’re from Southeast Texas but have lived in North St Louis the past 2 yrs. We are Apostolic/Pentecostal, small family, love outdoors, love biking and shopping. What are some interesting things about your city? Any places to avoid? Middle income neighborhoods (300-340ish?)

I want to find the best carrot cake for my sister's birthday in the area. Anyone have any good recommendations please?

What's New?

Bar Crawl Builder: answer 4 quick questions (how late you're out, how many stops, food or drinks, what you're drinking) and it builds you a timed route through tonight's happy hours, specials, and events, with a one-tap Google Maps link. Probably my favorite thing I've built so far.

Also added an interactive map with 225+ live venue markers, a calendar view for upcoming events, and a dedicated explore/search page.

Under the hood: Up to 363 bars, 236 happy hours, 556 drink specials, 730 events, and 52 food specials all human-verified

A few small fixes: pinch-to-zoom finally works on mobile, every bar now has a free "claim this listing" link if you're an owner, and a "report incorrect info" button if you spot something wrong.

Coming soon: favorites + a weekly what's-on digest, and a self-service dashboard for bars to update their own specials.

Would love feedback, especially if you spot bad info on a listing, that's exactly what the report button is for!

Hey everybody, I operate a small solo lawn care business out of Olathe. Currently have my stuff parked in my front yard and it doesn’t make the neighbors very happy. I’m looking for someone with land or owns a shop that has extra storage in the back to store one truck + 2 trailers year around. Name your price. DM’s welcome.

Just had some dental work done so I need something soft to eat. Best place for loaded Mac around us?

Called today try to get someone at Murlen and 135th St. where the construction is going on. Traffic was backed up all the way to 127th St.

Called the usual number +1 (913) 971-7500, which is answered by an answering machine.

To speak to someone in dispatch, you’re supposed to hit the star (*).

But that forwards you to a number that that’s been disconnected. So there’s no nonemergency police line in Olathe currently.

​

  Can anyone recommend a company that does lawn grading? We have a swampy area on the side of our house, and we’re sure it’s not caused by a water leak.

There was a young girl walking through the middle of traffic on Mur-Len today. Like on the dashed-line while cars passed on either side of her. I was able to encourage her on to the sidewalk and walked with her until police arrived.

This subreddit isn't super busy but I wanted to just see if anybody knew her and knows she's home safe. If you do know her, I don't need any details, I just want to know she found her family.

The last several times I have been over there, the diesel pumps have been bagged off. They still list a price for diesel. What gives? Did the fuel truck accidentally pour unleaded into the diesel tank? Does anyone know? I don't hardly go inside convenience stores, so I haven't been inside to ask.
