Hey Kansas Citians, Travis + Krit here. Between the two of us, we get the privilege of sharing local news, events, and conversations with 80,000+ readers in Kansas City, daily — here, and on our socials .
After 7+ months KCtoday, we thought we should reintroduce ourselves. After all, there are a lot of new faces around here between y’all and us.
Meet Travis 🎷

Q: What were the last 3 things you did downtown?
A: I walked down to the heart on the Town of Kansas Bridge, then I brunched at Tribe , and later I had a beer at River Bluff .
Q: What building in KC do you want to see revitalized + what would you do with it?
A: The Imperial Brewery building — off I-35 at Southwest Boulevard. With views of downtown that good, I’d turn the top floor + roof into an event space, the middle sections into housing, and the bottom floor into… well, a brewery.
Q: What menu item from a local restaurant are you kinda wanting to keep secret, but also kinda wanting to share?
A: My personal Betty Rae’s float combinations: Thou Mayest Coffee ice cream + cream soda = vanilla latte. Chocolate ice cream + cherry soda = cherry bon bon.

Q: What’s something every new Kansas Citian oughta know about?
