The happiest headlines in Kansas City are hot off the press! Today we are talking more about romance in Chiefs Kingdom, one of our favorite Plaza restaurants expanding, and a midwest princess who is coming back to her home state this weekend.

The next time you find yourself in a small talk situation, feel free to use one of these bad boys and make everyone jealous of your local news knowledge! 

  1. A Proposal Fit for Chiefs Kingdom
    Chiefs tackle Jawaan Taylor is officially engaged! His outdoor proposal to Tiffany Hylton featured thousands of roses, candles, live music, and a diamond ring that has KC fans talking. Beyond football, it’s fun to see members of our hometown team making memories off the field that connect them even more to this city.
  2. Plaza Staple Expands North
    Gram & Dun, a longtime favorite for happy hour and outdoor dining on the Plaza, is expanding to North Kansas City. The new location inside Argosy Casino & Hotel is set to open January 2026, complete with a private dining room and patio. It’s exciting to see a KC original growing into multiple spots while still keeping its local charm.
  3. Chappell Roan Gets a KC Tribute
    Ahead of her pop-up shows this weekend, two Missouri artists painted a striking mural of Chappell Roan in midtown, near Hamburger Mary’s. Inspired by her music video The Subway, the piece adds to Kansas City’s growing reputation as a hub for bold public art and cultural creativity.
