Sizzling Saturday Scoop: KC Pulse on the Plaza, Hot Dogs, and Entrepreneurial Spark
Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Saturday, August ninth, and we’re starting the weekend with a lively mix of local news, weather, and happenings across our city. Let’s dive right in.
Kansas City woke up today to a hazy blend of sun and clouds, with temperatures already rising and a high expected in the mid-nineties. There's a chance we'll see late showers or a thunderstorm rolling through this afternoon, so keep an umbrella handy if you’re headed out. Expect the heat index to climb past one hundred in some spots, especially around the Plaza and Westport—take care to stay hydrated and check on your neighbors and pets.
On the city beat, construction crews are still hard at work in the historic 18th and Vine District, with major infrastructure upgrades moving ahead. That means some events usually held on 18th Street are shifting locations for now. For example, today’s Heart of America Hot Dog Festival, hosted by the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, has moved to the National WWI Museum and Memorial. Gates open at three, with live music, great eats, and plenty of local flavor.
If you're a budding entrepreneur or know someone itching to open a storefront, tonight’s the final call for proposals to fill several vacant sites on East 18th Street—like the GSD Community Hub and more. The city’s BizCare program is also open for business, helping locals tap into licenses, get loans, and start new ventures. In just three months, we’ll know which small businesses get the green light to add their stamp to the Jazz District.
Turning to real estate, Kansas City’s downtown market remains steady. Home prices are averaging in the mid 300-thousand range—about the same as last month. Several new apartments near Union Station opened this week, with about 80 units leasing up fast. Job-wise, the city says unemployment has slipped below four percent, with most new opportunities in tech, logistics, and hospitality.
Our sports scene keeps shining. The Kansas City Current fought hard last night, sealing a one-nil win over the Utah Royals. Forward Temwa Chawinga’s tenth goal of the season made her club history, and keeper Lorena chalked up her seventh shutout. Tickets for future matches at CPKC Stadium are still available if you want a reason to cheer live.
On the baseball diamond today, the Royals are away playing Minnesota, with rookie pitcher Noah Cameron taking the mound. The team, hoping to boost its midseason record, has seen a surge of energy from new talent recently.
Local schools wrapped up summer sports league finals this week, with Lincoln Prep’s girls soccer squad clinching their division for the second year running. Congratulations to all our student athletes and coaches for representing KC so well.
On public safety, police report a relatively calm 24 hours, though officers responded to a break-in overnight near 31st and Main. No one was harmed, and the investigation is ongoing. The department encourages residents to lock doors and stay alert, especially in the downtown corridor.
Before we let you go, here’s a heartwarming note. Volunteers with KC Pet Project spent Friday cooling dogs and cats during the heat wave, handing out free pet supplies at Swope Park. Small acts like these remind us how community spirit stays strong, even when things heat up.
