News Notes

Announced

It’s no “Teenage Dream,” Katy Perry is finally returning to T-Mobile after a seven-year touring hiatus on Saturday, May 10. Prepare to “Roar” along to her new album and relive your favorite hits before tickets for “The Lifetimes Tour” go on sale Friday, Jan. 31 at 10 a.m.

Civic

A program allowing visitors to rent bikes by the minute is grinding to a halt at three JoCo parks. Since introducing the BikeWalkKC partnership in 2021, the county says lagging ridership has led to ~$300,000 in losses — leading its parks department to explore new options this spring, including rental programs with local bike shops. (Johnson County Post)

Sports

There’s a rising tide of sports fans preparing for KC Current’s first game of the 2025 regular season on Saturday, March 15. Single-match tickets are already on sale for season ticket holders and Current Club members, with general sale opening Thursday, Jan. 30. See the full schedule.

Biz

As more courts are built or converted for America’s fastest-growing sport, noise complaints — like those lobbed at Mission Hills Country Club — have threatened the existence of outdoor pickleball. Now, KC-based startup SLN/CR (pronounced “Silencer”) is utilizing nanotechnology to create a “fabric-based noise mitigation system” keeping the pop-pop-pop to a minimum. (Startland News)

History

Have you ever driven by the Old Wesport wagon and wondered what’s with the land-locked district’s sea-faring name? There are more than a few disputed theories, but we do know one thing for certain: even the pioneers dealt with morning traffic on Westport Road. (Kansas City Star)

Holiday

Forget a dozen roses, say “I love you” with a Café Ollama concha bouquet this year. The Valentine’s Day floral arrangement will feature heart-shaped conchas — traditional Hispanic sweet breads — starting at $18, available now for preorder from the Crossroads coffee shop.

Closing

Regional grocery store staple KC Canning Co. is leaving the shelves. Its award-winning lineup of pickles, jams, and specialty items like the biz’ bestselling chili crunch delighted local foodies, but ran into countless financial setbacks over its ~10 year run. Shop KC Canning Co.'s final items before they’re gone for good. (KCBJ)

I’m most definitely not a fair weather fan of ice cream, which mean any excuses to eat it — like French Custard’s bi-weekly Cold Weather Ice Cream Club pint drops — are more than welcome.
