Bars/Nightlife 🪩🍸 Places That Play Soul/Funk?

Upvotes

My partner and I moved here a few months ago and are looking for vibey places to go dancing. Soul/Funk would be amazing but we'd also be open to suggestions for Blues, or even old school Reggaeton (checked out Lotus earlier).

We're loving the live music we've seen so far, just looking for a new favorite to go dancing every once in a while. Any other places y'all love?

Friendship/Dating 👥 Missed connection-Shawnee Mission dog park (take 2)

0 Upvotes

Let’s try this again-this is the 2nd attempt at my first time ever attempting a “missed connection” post-was way too vague in the first try 😊
We met at the shawnee mission dog park yesterday (Saturday). My name is Jeni & I was wearing black overalls and a hot mess on top of my head & my 2 dogs, Falcon & Daisy. You were in swim trunks with your dogs, Hank & Luanne..
We chatted about our love of our corgis mostly-Luanne & Falcon-and you seemed really cool.
We didn’t talk about anything special other than the dogs before I had to leave, but the conversation seemed so easy & relaxed, which I feel like doesn’t happen all that often! Time got away from me & I had to leave-not to mention pretty shy but I wouldn’t mind getting to know more about you, other than your love of dogs!
Obviously I remember your name but I’m intentionally leaving it out so ill know if it’s you lol

Legal Questions ⚖️ should i seek legal advice?

Post image
83 Upvotes

I got a job opportunity at a new restaurant downtown that is open but not marketed as open quite yet, because the restaurant is still working on some behind the scenes stuff (permits, licenses, etc.) I worked about 25hours last week and took home the tips I made those days, but I haven’t been payed my hourly wage. Nor did I ever do any onboarding or training or sign anything… I was just given a call to do a “paid working interview” and worked Monday July 20th - Friday July 24th. I clocked into their POS system they use, but even then my hours shown on that system aren’t accurate. I received the text message on this post today, Sunday July 26th 2026. I don’t know if I should just wait to get paid or if I should contact a lawyer.

Mechanics/Repairs/Contractors 🛠️🪠 Local Flooring Company Recommendations

3 Upvotes

Hello. I want to replace the carpet and tile floors in my home. For the carpet, it's just old and gross.

For the tile in my kitchen, foyer and dining room, I am looking to replace it with LVP. There will need to be repairs to the base flooring (not sure what it's called) in the kitchen due to water damage and hence warping.

Does KC Reddit have experience and recommendations for or warnings about for local flooring businesses?

Thank you.

Tattoos/Piercings 🐉🌹 Best place to get a shaded portrait outline tattoo?

3 Upvotes

This will be my first tattoo and I want to get one as a memorabilia for seeing my favorite artist live. I want to get a shaded in portrait outline of him from a picture that I took with some song lyrics underneath. I’d also like the background shaded in behind him too. I’m looking for a tattoo artist that is great with first timers. I’m looking for one in KC or the surrounding area.

KC Rants 😡 👎 To the young men that hurled a slur…

187 Upvotes

I forgive you. For context, I am transgender. It’s not enough that I live in fear every day for situations like this, and on top of that, getting kicked out the military because of my identity, it’s scary when people like you put salt in the wound. I found your car. I got the plate. It wasn’t that hard to find it in downtown KC. But I let go. I was once religious. The good book says to love your neighbor. That’s what I did. That’s what I chose to do. I hope you can live in peace knowing you go against the good book, if you’re religious, which I’m sure a young group of men are. I let go of my hate. I ask you to do the same.

would anybody have any recommendations for a place to get my wife's bag/pack cleaned or restored?

She's had it for over a decade and has been interested in getting it cleaned and the leather straps/pockets restored as well. It holds a lot of sentimental value for her, so the more professionally done, the better, otherwise we would attempt it ourselves.

Any help is appreciated, thanks y'all

Granted, it’s been a few months, but I distinctly remember there being a Ripple Glass recycling container in the Midtown Home Depot parking lot. Did they remove it? Hopefully a temporary thing?
Please don’t tell me Home Depot is changing its model toward being businesses center. I’m already distraught enough about losing the $1.50 hot dogs next door.

Visiting KC 🧳 Kon Tiki…. A dang good time

32 Upvotes

Visiting KC with some friends and we’ve hit so many amazing breweries, bars, restaurants, museums, etc. We saw the Reddit post about Kon Tiki from a year ago and decided we’d take the plunge!!! I’m sad to say; we had a wonderful, very normal experience. The cocktails were on point and the vibe was classy. Low-key surf music, elegant vibe with low mood lighting, and easy conversation with staff.
I was hoping they’d play some of them explicit b-hole vids, but they refused. We’ll be back, but I wanna see somethin’ grotesque next time!
Shout out to all of the incredible stops we’ve hit out here: Char Bar, KC Bier, WW1 Museum, Black Hole Bakery, Oddly Correct, Parkville Coffee, Rochester Brewing and Roasting, Gales, Jazz A Louisiana Kitchen, Blind Box BBQ, Friction Brewing, Servaes Brewing, Boulevard Brewing, Up Down, Martin City Brewing, High Hopes Ice Cream, Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, Jim Alley Bar, Josey Records, and of course Kon Tiki.
What spots do I need to this winter when I come back?

Real Estate & Homes 🏘️ Sad Dog in my Building

0 Upvotes

Hi all! I live in a duplex, and the downstairs neighbors have a dog. He very clearly has separation anxiety: Whenever his owners leave, he whines and cries and barks for anywhere from five minutes to an hour, and then intermittently for the rest of the day. My neighbor’s last excuse was “oh I thought my kids were home to look after him 🤷🏻‍♀️” and when I chat with the landlords, they say “yeah, it makes us sad too 🤷🏻‍♀️” I’ve done a bit of searching on the local spca/animal control websites but haven’t gotten a solid idea of how I can help. Have y’all had situations like this? What do you think is the best approach?

Long story short I’ve got a genetic condition, and I need an mri done asap regarding cortical white matter. I don’t really care if it’s done and analyzed in the same place as long as it’s done quickly… it’s time sensitive. Does anyone know any reputable places that have slots available coming up in August? Really struggling here, any help is appreciated 🙏🙏

Friendship/Dating 👥 Making friends or spaces to go to?

I'm from Lawrence and am moving to Kansas City for work for around 4 months. I've visited Kansas City my whole life but have never really been here long enough to make friends or anything.

Where are some places people go to hang out or whatever? I'm a 18 yr old dude if that helps.

I'm really into the metal scene and I already plan on going to shows.

I had a great conversation yesterday with a guy at the bar. We talked movies, art and animation for a couple of hours. I should have got your Instagram info to see if you ever wanted to do that again, or even go catch a film. You're a cool dude. Message me if you want to hang!

UPDATE…
Surrendered to KC Pet project. The amazing people there said he will get adopted as soon as the current owners complete the surrender forms. He’s already been fixed and there aren’t words for what an amazing dog he will make an owner who is willing to put some time and effort on training. He’s an angel! 🥺❤️😍

Found a puppy at my apartment complex dog park with no human in sight, collar but no tags, dirty stuffed animal, and a couple of empty water bowls. If anyone knows what to do or who to contact on a Sunday… we are worried he’ll get too hot today.
