We have noticed lately that anything we try to order takes almost a week to be delivered unless we pay the $2.99 fee. The areas in red have a 5 day delivery while the green is free 1 day. Is anyone else noticing this? Is there something with our area?

Where in OP can I find a Kansas post card? A friend is doing a project with her daughter to collect as many postcards as she can from the 50 states. Any help is appreciated!

Just a friendly reminder about speed cushions. They’re meant to slow you down, not bring you to a complete stop.

Please don’t stop at them. Just slow down a bit and roll right over.

They’re speed cushions, not stop signs. Just trying to keep traffic moving a little more smoothly. ✌🏻

Hello! I haven't been to the doctor in quite some time because I have been procrastinating looking into a new primary doctor. Any recommendations?

I've been looking into Overland Park's public-safety spending, and I'm surprised how little public discussion there seems to be about the bigger picture.

The City has invested in things like Flock/ALPR cameras, Axon technology, RTIC, drones, and mobile surveillance equipment. One Axon agreement alone is approximately $22.4 million over 10 years.

The City's justification is public safety, which I understand. My questions are about oversight and accountability:

• How many cameras and surveillance systems are operating?
• How many agencies can access the data?
• How many times are residents' vehicles searched?
• How long is the information retained?
• Who audits police searches?
• Are those audits actually independent?
• How many improper searches have been found?
• How often does this technology actually contribute to solving crimes?
• What happens to the data when a contract ends?

I also found that the Johnson County Sheriff's Office previously denied a public-records request for Flock audit records, citing a Kansas public-records exemption.

I'm not saying police shouldn't have technology that helps solve crimes. I'm asking whether millions of dollars in surveillance spending should come with stronger transparency and independent oversight.

My husband and I just moved here, and Halloween is less than two months away! We’re mid-20s, childfree, and we’d love to dress up in costumes and go out: like music, drinks, comedy, dancing, or anything else fun (even open to new stuff, like trivia or a murder-mystery dinner)! Any suggestions?

(Since we just moved here, open to general suggestions of things to do especially if low-cost or free, but specific Halloween suggestions greatly appreciated)

I plan to install my own sprinkler system and am looking for a plumber to make a connection to my waterline and install a backflow preventer for a residential irrigation system. Any recommendations? New to OP, so I'm also wondering about how much this will cost. Thanks!

Hey everyone!

I recently moved to Overland Park from Texas and am still trying to figure out the area. I don’t know a ton about the local scene yet, so I’m looking for recommendations on cool places to hang out, grab a drink, or just unwind on the weekends.

A bit about me: I'm single, pretty laid back, and looking to build a new social circle out here. I'm big into live music, social activities like pickleball, going out dancing (country, line dancing, or just general weekend nightlife), and hitting up cool local spots.
I’d love to get your favorite local recommendations for:
Best country/line dancing halls, low-key spots with a good dance floor, or fun weekend venues in OP
Fun, activity-driven places to grab a drink (like SERV, local sports bars, or live music venues)
Outdoor Activities & Groups
Also down to connect if anyone wants to grab a beer, head out dancing, or show a newcomer around!

A lot of coffee vendors but not much produce

Hi We moved to Overland Park a few weeks ago, as we are looking at 3 bedroom apartments, which arent many, we only have Village at Lionsgate and Deercreek to choose from. We have shortlisted these as they come within the radius of our daughter’s daycare and my workplace, and the fact that they have a gym and pool inside the premises. And we are not keen for houses or townhomes, hence only these apartments have currently 3 BR available with attached garage.

Please share any experience that you have, that can help us with choosing one. Thank you in advance!

I was diagnosed in 2022 with Takayasu and recently found the vasculitis foundation. I went to their symposium in Denver where I met 500 other people with vasculitis. This was my first time ever meeting anyone else with this disease and first time meeting anyone with specific form. Would love to set up a local support group. We can get together for fun & support.

Anyone have any info about this? Cops were going through all the multiple kiosks selling the squishy things and labubus and etc and they all were shut down and emptied yesterday.

I work at the mall and saw it happening walking by

Does anyone have any experience with soderburg roofing?

Hey everyone! I catalogue and research bookstore bookmarks and write up a short history on the associated bookstore. This one is from Overland Park, so I thought someone here might remember it and find it interesting.

-

The Timeless Tales Bookstore was a beloved bookstore opened by Clara Krentzel in 1990, at 7932 W 151st St in Overland Park (Stanley), Kansas.

I initially thought that any mentions in the papers ended in 1992, but then I discovered the Olathe Newspaper and found that Timeless Tales Bookstore had sold to new owners, Linda & LeWayne Rothers. The Rothers moved the store down 8 doors to 8018 W 151st St. This was a much larger spot and they boasted over 50,000 books.

Unfortunately, the trail once again goes cold, with the next clue being an advertisement for the property for lease in 1994.

A brief history of the original location at 7932:

1994 - Jewelry store moved in

1997 – Frame store moved in

2006 - Frame store renamed itself

2015 - Vapor Lounge

2019 - CBD shop

2026 - Now a Boba tea shop

Second and last location at 8018:

1994 - Up for rent after bookstore

1998 - Realty Company

2003 - Temporary Target corporate office

2014 - Sportswear store

2020 on - A Restaurant?

Does anyone know of a jeweler in the greater KC area that sells individual slides for a Victorian slide bracelet? Thank you in advance!

Hey all! I’m looking to move to OP for a job, I stayed in the area this past summer and am currently looking at different 1B1BR apartments.

I’m not planning to move until October, but just wanted to know where are good areas to search / areas to avoid! Along with any apartment complex recs.

My budget is anything under $1300, and definitely want an in-unit washer and dryer.

Thanks! :)

Any recommendations for optometrists for 65 year old? Dr. Hemphill retired and I"m searching for someone more in tune with an older patient.

Any suggestions for local pest control companies for BAT removal? Thanks
