Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Friday, June 27, 2025.

We start today with a sense of momentum across our city, even as morning clouds and a chance of scattered showers keep us reaching for our umbrellas. The forecast calls for highs in the mid-eighties, and while the sun may peek out later, we’ll want to keep an eye on the weather if we’re planning lunch at the City Market or an afternoon out with family in Loose Park.

From City Hall, all eyes are on community health. Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision bars Planned Parenthood from accepting Medicaid patients in both Kansas and Missouri. Local providers worry about gaps in women’s health services, and city leaders are calling on residents to seek out local clinics for support as resources are realigned.

On the jobs front, manufacturing numbers in our region dipped again this month. Factories across the Tenth District, including those in the metro, are reporting fewer new orders and another small decline in employment. The mood among business owners is cautious but hopeful, with many expecting things to improve heading into the holiday season. If you’re job hunting, look for opportunities in nonmetallic and petroleum product manufacturing, which are still showing strength.

The real estate buzz continues around Union Hill and Brookside, with newly listed homes moving quickly thanks to summer demand. Listings under four hundred thousand dollars remain especially hot, so buyers need to act fast. On the business side, we welcome a new trailblazing outdoor gear shop opening today on Main Street, bringing much-needed options for our hikers and bikers. Meanwhile, Westport sees another closure as a beloved local café shuts its doors.

Turning to sports, the Kansas City Monarchs treated fans to a thrilling comeback last night. Down in Lincoln, they rallied in the ninth inning and pulled off a dramatic seven to five win. Back home, the Royals are struggling at the plate, still searching for a win this homestand as they face the Rays today, with the world champion Dodgers rolling into Kauffman this weekend—a great chance for us all to show our Kansas City pride.

Kansas City Public Schools celebrated another victory as the debate team from East High clinched the state finals, bringing home a trophy and plenty of bragging rights for our students.

For events, the First Fridays art walk returns to the Crossroads tonight, and this weekend the Jazz in the Park series continues in Swope Park. Families can also check out the annual Strawberry Festival in Independence, promising treats, music, and games.

A quick look at public safety: police reunited a missing ten-year-old with her family near Troost Avenue, a moment of relief for our community. No major incidents have been reported overnight, but as always, let’s stay aware and look out for one another.

And here’s a feel-good moment to close: volunteers from all neighborhoods came together this week to build new accessible hiking trails out west, proving yet again that Kansas City’s spirit is alive and well.

This has been Kansas City Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
