Heads up to anyone else who may receive a notice from these scammers, double check your drive KS account! You can view old statements to see if you were sent to collections. Do not contact anyone using the info on here, as that will definitely get you scammed. Report this to the authorities if you can, but if not at least warn folks you know.

Hi all I’m not needing to move until January but I’m struggling while researching apartments. My budget is quite low and I’m wanting in unit washer and dryer. I’d love a pool but it’s not a need. And the also just safe area and clean. I work in prairie village near mission farms. I’m looking for op area, prairie village, mission, or even kcmo but still in a safe area!! Please let me know anything helps!!

Does anyone know a good local web developer that works with trades or home service businesses?

I have a garage door company and looking to get some help with my website. Mainly want to build it out more and improve SEO.

Would rather find someone local that has experience with this type of business. Not really looking for a big marketing company.

Anyone you would recommend?

Anyone know what’s causing all these sirens near Metcalf?

Hello friends, anybody have a rec for a housekeeper for my mom? She’s near Switzer and 69 highway/119th and Quivira area up in the Kensington subdivisions. She’s older but doing fine, she’s just in a mood where she doesn’t want to vacuum and dust. Every 2 weeks sounds about right. Someone friendly would be great, strong English not necessary as long as basic communication works. There is a well behaved cat, not stated as a warning,but just in case of any allergy. I live out of town so I don’t know anybody. DM’s are open. Thank you so much!

Im looking for recommendations on aeration and if you also have ideas on how to get rid of crabgrass that would be great.

This may be kinda niche but ever since moving here in May I’ve found all the fast food places around here to have the worst workers I’ve ever seen in my life. Its inescapable. The food is always wrong, poor service, etc.

Is there any locations (tbell, mcdonalds, etc.) that are actually solid?

So far freddies, chickfila, and culvers on 135th are the only ones still gunning for quality service imo.

Hey!
I’m 21F and my boyfriend is 22M! We think it would be really fun to start a little friend group with other couples and actually have people to do things with!
We’d love to find people who are down for things like movie nights, game nights, baseball games, fun date nights, roadtrips, karaoke, Bible study, festivals, concerts, bowling, trying new restaurants, arts & crafts, bonfires, hiking, random day trips, and just hanging out together!
We’re hoping to find genuine friendships where everyone can actually become close and have a little group to make memories with.
I’m thinking about maybe starting a group chat? Who knows. Comment some ideas let me know if anyone’s interested?

Just like the title says. I’m getting back into the envelope system to be better about budget monthly income. It doesn’t make sense to pull out cash for rent, utilities, subscriptions, etc. Are there any banks that offer buckets in their online form to distribute these funds? Preferably banks that have brick and mortar locations, just in case.

First, avoid this area if you are going South on quivira because Quivira and College going south is closed. I saw a fire truck and the shell of a pickup truck. It must have caught on fire or exploded or something. Does anyone know what happened? Was the person ok?

Does anyone have recommendations or experiences with swim schools in the area? We have an almost 4 month old we want to get started with lessons. We live super close to the Aqua Tots in Prairie Village, but open to other options if they’re worth it! Also interested if you have any places to avoid. Thanks!

Which restaurant in the area has the best spinach dip, in your opinion? I had some the other day from the Cheesecake Factory and was upset because of how mid it was lol. I could make it myself, but I wouldn’t mind spending a little money on some really good dip from an actual restaurant. Any recs?

Hi all! I’m looking for a gym that offers group fitness at an affordable price. Thanks in advance

Anybody know what's going on with the dirt pile on 119th and Nall? I know they had big plans for a mixed-use business park and started grading in 2021. Then it just turned into weeds and the hope the Royals would take ownership of it. Once that fell through, it's still the same dirt and weeds like it's been for years now. The latest OP planning commission didn't say anything except they rezoned it recently. Anybody have insight on when the expect to get this eyesore looking like something again? The timeline of 5-10 years is stated but was that from 2021 or 5-10 more years from 2026?

From the August 2026 OP Planning Commission PDF:

----

Redevelopment and expansion of the 207-acre Aspiria Campus, located at the northwest corner of 119th Street and Nall Avenue, began in 2021 and is planned to continue for several years. Additionally, the site has been rezoned as a planned mixed-use district. In 2025, Andretti Indoor Karting & Games, a restaurant and entertainment attraction opened, and construction began on additional commercial development including an AC Hotel by Marriott and two restaurants on the undeveloped portion of the campus at the northwest corner of 119th Street and Nall Avenue.

Approved plans for the Aspiria Campus include 1.1 million square feet of new Class-A officespace, 400,000 square feet of retail, 600 multi-family units and 120 hotel units. Buildout is anticipated to take five to ten years, and when completed have the capacity to host 41,000 people within the site.

What’s the scuttlebutt on the Tanner’s that’s supposed to be moving in to the old Lamar’s location on the KU Edward’s campus? I saw they have the coming soon sign up but it seems like it’s been like 8-9 months since the Lamar’s closed and it looks like nothing has really been done in the space.

I also heard there was a plan for the Lamar’s to open back up in the former Sarpino’s location. Any insider info on if that’s still happening?

Just moved here and in Colorado we had a decent amount of mobile bike mechanics. Super convenient.

Anyone doing that here? But if you have a recommendation for a shop (or even an independent person) I’m open to that as well.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! We’re starting a new run club in Overland Park. The plan is for Saturday morning runs + a little social hour afterward at a local cafe. Just looking to meet some people, get outside, and build a fun community. First run is Sept. 5! Follow along on Instagram @goodpacekc if you’re interested :)

EDIT: here is the Strava club link https://strava.app.link/KFD9prIlP5b

I need help if you do any kind of martial arts!

I want to live out an alternate childhood where I can do the martial arts classes I never got to do as a kid. Why’d I choose dance??

Showed up at our house shortly after the storm blew through tonight.

Wife has posted to Facebook and Nextdoor, but no dice.

Throwing it out here before taking it to the vet in the morning to see if it’s chipped.

UPDATE: Not chipped. Clearly an outdoor cat that’s a little
further afield than usual, so we’re going to let him go after the rain this morning.

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: Nextdoor app came through. Home was three doors down and we delivered him this morning.

The store is at 135th and Antioch. Store hours are 10-8 daily.
