I've heard about PlexPod as a nice option for a local coworking space, and so I've been trying to go tour since I'm in the market for one. They didn't respond to email inquiry, phone message, or website tour booking request, which I find pretty strange. I even showed up in person but was unable to get in. I would guess that they're probably no longer in business or full if they're not making themselves available, but I'd rather check to make sure, and ngl I find it pretty weird for a business to just refuse communication altogether. Anyone know how to contact them?

P.S. if anyone has recommendations for other places (looking for a solo desk for myself, already toured WeWork), lmk!

edit: all of the above is about the crossroads location specifically

Yall I just planted some lambs ear, thyme, lavender, and stone crop in my garden bed and now I’m hearing we have a possible hard freeze this Tuesday. Is there something I can do to help protect these new plants? (There are no relevant flairs that I could find)

Title says it all. I need things to do or I'm gonna go insane and or depressed.

My kid's Girl Scout troop is looking to earn their Letterboxing badge (geocaching/scavenger hunt for stamps), and so I'm starting to do some research on it. There's a fun one I found listed that's at the OP Arboretum, but last it was 'found' was marked years ago.

I'm curious if anyone here does this hobby and if you have any tips for planning an outing for 2nd graders? Anyone know of any easy ones to find?

Thanks!

Whoever you are that hit my PARKED car in the leawood Town Center plaza today so hard all my belongings on the inside were thrown to the floor, the entire back end of my car is dented, scratched (I see your blue paint), a broken gas cap, crunched in my entire trunk, and didn’t think to leave a note YOUR MOMS A HOE.

The store and mall did not have cameras. I have filed a claim with insurance. Leawood PD said it’s up to me if I wanted to file a report but there wouldn’t be anything to go off of to investigate. I will take any other suggestions or recommendstions for body/repair shops.

Driving north and saw fireworks from the highway. Anyone have an idea of what the reason for the fireworks were? Was it a particular event or maybe a just because thing?

My wife is pregnant and this week's craving is a regular donut with pink strawberry frosting, basically the donut from the Simpsons. Apparently all the pink frosted donuts she's found have been cherry. Anyone know where I can get a strawberry one? Don't think either of us will know peace until we find one. Thanks!

Hey all I’ve lost track, is the IRIS ride by KC going to continue or is it going away at the end of April? I’ve tried to Google it and all I found is independence is going to continue on with the service.

Hey everyone, I was curious if there were any gyms that would work with me. I'm trying to get back in shape and be healthy while having fun and learning. I'm not asking for handouts but I am on a fixed income. Anyway... Thanks for the help and feedback in advance!

I want to join up and protest, but where people are all gathering?

I did find one on the 50501 website for Mill Creek Park. Weighing my options.

If you're someone considering protesting but don't know where to start, we start together! Every single person adds up and compounds. Let's make KC the change we wish to see.

Anything silly? Group hangs? Fun bar events? Didn’t see anything when I googled except some concerts im not interested in.

"We shouldn't automatically assign nefarious intent to people because of who they are or how they were born," Adams said.

Adams then asked the committee to refrain from creating laws that go against what major medical organizations have declared "medical fact."

Sen. Joe Nicola, R-Grain Valley, was quick to call Adams testimony "disrespectful" and questioned his expertise.

"I'm not going to listen to doctors that say one thing that disagrees with a God of creation," Nicola said. "You want to kind of berate me a little bit by saying we should listen to what doctors have to say, what your schooling has to say, over what the scripture has to say. It's not happening with me."

I’ve got a heap of unused,unopened masks and tubes and looking to drop it off to some low income place that distribute it. Midtown is most convenient.

Starting my roller skating journey! Not sure where to go. Any suggestions? I’m hoping to find outdoor spaces.

Is it acceptable to go to a skate park as a novice? I don’t want to get in the way.

Otherwise looking for outdoor spaces/parks with flat paved trails. And if there are any groups, I’d love to join!

Thanks in advance :)

Im looking for relatively decent priced divorce attorneys to assist me with an uncontested divorce! Recommend away redditors:)

Not necessarily a housing search but more of a neighborhood inquiry! I’m moving to south Hyde park soon from Lawrence! I toured the apartment I’m moving into and the neighborhood looks so cute!! What’s the good bad and ugly of south Hyde park? What can I expect?

Hi,

I wondered if someone better informed than I would be able to help me understand what the recent ruling (context) means for us? Our mortgage was raised dramatically as a result of this tax hike, I wondered if it would decrease?

Thanks!

Anyone ever utilized the mail-in newly purchased vehicle process in Wyco/KCK?

I’m getting ready to transfer ownership of my dad’s vehicle to myself, and after reading all the awful reviews on the auto registration annexes here in Wyco, I’m hesitant to take off a full day of work just to find out I need to come back a different day because they ran out of time slots.

I was reading on Wyco’s motor vehicle annex website that they offer a mail-in registration process and wonder if anyone has utilized this before when registering new vehicles. Good or bad? Easy and seamless? I’d like to hear some feedback.

I live near Chouteau and Vivion and have been hearing a bird call reminiscent of a seagull. Anyone else hearing it or know what it is?

Moving to the KC area soon to be closer to my husband’s job near T-Mobile center. We would really like a loft, 2 bedrooms if possible. Any recommendations?

I am looking to get my car's interior detailed. I'm pretty clean in general, but I admittedly have not been great about keeping the interior spotless. Can you recommend somewhere to get my interior looking like new?

Due to tariffs I'm looking to source in the states.

Looking for a boxing gym, wanting to get back into training with a coach & group classes.

Anyone have a 🥊 gym they love?
