The Grand Blvd riverfront bike/ped bridge is ALMOST finished!

KC people please share this with anyone who would be interested in a furnished apartment! I need a sublet to move in April 1

KC built environment nerds, this is very much a work in progress but I've started tracking whether identified buildings/houses in the 1940 tax photos have been demolished and we've got them displayed on a map: kc1940.org/buildings/de...

#EmojiSounds ☔️ Sister Rosetta Tharpe Didn’t It Rain It’s Manchester & it pours with rain It’s not everyday that makes history, but this was 7 May 1964… and Sister Rosetta is in town 🎸 Allison Russell ✍🏽 She was the prime influencer, the foundation of all of it m.youtube.com/watch?v=3NFy...

happy birthday to original punk guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

Folks in the for-profit sector... If you sign up for an event hosted by a nonprofit that includes food and drink... Please do not ghost them. Cancel your RSVP or let them know you won't make it to the event. Otherwise they spend precious resources on catering that goes to waste.

Big news from Jackson County Parks, The Little Blue Trace and Rock Island Trails!

Driving 75 mph (three times the speed limit), killing a family of four, and potentially no jail time. A complete miscarriage of justice. Glad this story is getting national coverage, by @heatherknightsf.bsky.social in today's NYT: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/u...

$200b would buy 100 million ebikes and reduce American gasoline consumption by like a third.

If your complaint is that the new [cement divider/daylighting/bike lane] has forced you as a driver to be more alert — well, that says a lot about you, doesn’t it?

Urban transit will continue to limp along, but rural Missouri transit will be decimated just as Medicaid work requirements come into force. www.kcur.org/housing-deve...

Police say a white SUV struck the pedestrian while driving west on Truman Road Saturday night.

Cyclists and pedestrians are on the same side, and conflicts like these arise because we are all being crammed into small slivers of space not taken by cars. Cyclists need to be courteous, yes, but a lot of this is solved by better infrastructure. Also, most cyclists are not riding at 20 mph.

What is “the E-Bike Effect?” “Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.” Fewer car trips. Via @lloydalter.bsky.social

Every time I throw a party I end up with more beer than I started with because all my friends are gracious guests but I don’t like the same beers they do so now I have like 18 IPAs to get rid of

I think we need “I use KCMO bike lanes” t-shirts. #kcmobudget

Speaker here “again” to advocate for sidewalks. Voted years ago for the GO Bonds, still don’t have sidewalks in her neighborhood. “We should not have to be here begging for sidewalks and curbs to keep our children safe.” #kcmobudget

"Bringing out the 'good china'" for our guests is spot on for KC with the World Cup coming. Plus public investments in small, local businesses that have been needed for years.

"Dashcam Nation" is actually a good book title about the rise in hit and run crashes and lack of community trust on the roadways.

health of a society is inversely proportional to how badly you need a dashcam in it

“I have usernames older than you.”. Holy shit

I miss the robust KC Twitter hive mind of a decade ago, but I'm going to try anyway: Can anyone think of any local buildings or houses that have been physically relocated post-1940, aside from the KC Young Matrons clubhouse that was at 51st & Oak?

People say BlueSky is an echo chamber but we have road cyclists, gravel cyclists, mountain bikers, single speeders, fixie riders, cargo bike riders, e-bike riders, hybrid riders, recumbent riders, bikepackers, randonneurs, and I'm sure we even have a few unicyclists among us

Feels weird to sign a petition to save a big box store. But the losing the Midtown Costco really would create many voids that can’t be reasonably filled by a bunch of mom and pop stores in current economic system

The only thing worthwhile about “Tron: Ares” was the amazing music by NIN. This expanded edition does not disappoint.

Funders still requiring wet signatures on contracts like it's pre-pandemic!

Nine Inch Nails show in Tulsa was amazing!

you can do a loop to every spring training stadium in AZ in about 130 miles 🤔

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports
