this
is
no
typical
grocery
store,
hi
everyone,
I'm
Chris
Hernandez,
with
the
weekly
report.
Your
look
at
news
from
the
city
of
Kansas,
City
Missouri,
the
city
served
as
a
developer
for
this
project
in
order
to
spark
economic
development
on
the
east
side
and
bring
an
amenity
to
residents
here
to
end
the
food
desert.
This
is
the
New

B
Lot
of
people
are
pretty
excited
about
these
developments
because
it's
not
just
the
grocery
store.
There
are
additional
stores
throughout
the
rest
of
the
shopping
center,
and
it's
hopeful
that
this
will
spark
improvement
throughout
the
surrounding
neighborhood
and
did
you
know
that
you
can
recommend
neighborhood
improvements
that
bring
your
local
tax
dollars
back
to
your
block?
It's
through
the
PI
app
process.
This
is
a
chance
to
suggest
a
project
at
an
upcoming
PAC
meeting
near
you.
The

B
This
store
is
quickly
becoming
a
neighborhood
attraction,
and
we
know
that
there
are
many
Kansas
City
neighborhoods
that
have
fun
creative
events
throughout
the
entire
summer
and
some
of
your
tax
dollars
go
to
support
and
encourage
these
events.
It's
through
the
neighborhood
tourists,
Development
Fund,
and
you
can
help
out
with
that
process.
Nonprofits
are
eligible
to
apply
for
this
funding
and
city
staff
holds
workshops
on
how
to
apply.
So,
if
you
have
a
group
that
is
putting
on
a
great
event
that
you
think
might
attract
tourists
to
your
neighborhood,
you
should
check
out
these
workshops.
B
The
next
one
is
Tuesday
July
10th
from
10:00
a.m.
to
12:30
at
the
Rockhurst
University
community
center,
located
at
50
401
Troost,
another
one
will
be
held:
Friday
August
10th
from
10:00
a.m.
to
12:30

Independence
Day
is
almost
here,
and
that
means
brats
on
the
grill.
But
here
in
this
store
you
can
buy
homemade
Italian
sausage.
B
It's
really
good.
Okay,
but
fourth
of
July
also
means
we
need
to
remind
you
that
it
is
illegal
to
set
off
fireworks
in
the
city.
It's
also
illegal
to
shoot
off
guns.
To
celebrate
the
fourth:
remember:
that's
very
unsafe:
you
don't
want
those
bullets
to
come
down
and
damage
your
roof
or
your
neighbor's
roof,
and
you
certainly
don't
want
to
hurt
someone
so
be
sure
to
celebrate
safely
and
enjoy
one
of
the
many
community
events
that
have
big
fireworks
displays.
B
It's
just
as
fun
also
keep
in
mind
that
the
city's
holiday
trash
and
recycling
schedule
is
in
effect,
on
Wednesday
through
Saturday
of
that
week.
July
5th
through
the
10th,
is
also
a
no
tag
period
for
trash
collection.
That's
when
you
can
set
out
up
to
15
bags
of
trash
without
buying
extra
tags.
So,
of
course,
you
can
use
the
holiday
weekend
to
clean
up
from
all
that
celebrating
also
remember
the
monthly
tornado
siren
test
will
move
from
July
4th
to
July
11
the
following
Wednesday.
B
If
there
are
any
city
programs
or
events
that
you'd
like
to
know
more
about
just
email
us
at
communications
at
KCMO
org,
and
we
will
get
it
on
the
weekly
report
for
you,
you
can
watch
all
of
our
programs
on
demand
by
just
going
to
our
youtube
channel
again.
I'm
Chris
Hernandez,
thanks
for
watching
the
weekly
report
and
stay
right
where
you
are
because
we
have
new
videos
coming
up
from
several
city
departments.
A
E
E
E
Kansas
City
Parks
takes
cares
of
the
trees
and
the
grass
and
the
middle
Midway's
they
take
care
of
the
football
field
over
there
and
North
Kansas
City
area
baseball,
takes
care
of
the
the
outfield
grass
and
get
the
chalk
lines
the
umpires
everything.
So
it's
been
a
very
profitable
partnership
for
going
on
30
years
now,
so
I
want
to
bring
up
the
director
of
Kansas
City
Parks
Markman
McHenry
he's
going
to
also
recognize
a
few
of
the
other
parks.
E
F
These
ball
diamonds
used
to
be
over
on
the
water
land
by
their
treatment
facility
and,
as
you
said,
they
had
to
expand
the
facility
and
do
some
major
construction.
So
we
came
to
this
location
and
then,
fortunately,
our
partners
in
the
water
service
department
allow
this
to
take
place.
This
has
been
their
land
for
some
time
and
they
made
it
available
to
us
to
have
this
great
complex.
We
have
here
today,
Chris
mentioned
Anita
Gorman's.
She
was
here
25
years
ago
to
throw
out
the
first
pitch
that
believe.
F
G
Field
and
had
huge
power
lines
running
through
it
and
I
think
the
first
15
designs
for
the
part
that
I
was
involved
in
trying
to
work
around
these
huge
power
lines
and
I'll
go
on.
This
is
not
going
to
work.
That's
when
people
were
scared,
I've
voltage,
electricity,
so
I
said
we
gotta
move
it
you'll,
never
get
moved
as
log
work
for
his
city
party.
Let
me
see
what
I
could
do.
I
went
to
the
powers-that-be.
They
said
sure
we
didn't
want
to
move
those
lines
for
years,
so
they
picked.
H
Pretty
it's
pretty
impactful
to
see
how
this
league
has
grown
over
the
course
of
the
last
eight
years,
I
think
when
we
first
started
or
when
I
first
started
and
Ed's
kind
of
showing
me
the
ropes,
we
were
roughly
around
170
teams
or
so
at
the
time
in
our
program
and
now
we're
approaching
280
on
an
annual
basis.
That's
just
from
the
spring
season
and
the
fall
seasons
we
jump
from
90
to
100
and
hundred
and
eighty
on
in
that
time
frame.
So
a
lot
of
growth.
H
I
Today
we
are
at
the
John
Wornall
House
Museum,
located
at
61st
and
Wornall
Road,
a
landmark
that
is
on
the
National
Register
of
Historic
Places,
and
we
are
with
executive
director
Cary
Nichols
to
tell
us
about
upcoming
programming
that
is
supported
by
the
neighborhood
tourists,
Development
Fund
Cary.
Thank
you
for
taking
time
to
talk
to
us
today.
Thank
you
for
coming
out
today
and
you've
got
lots
of
activities
and
events
that
are
happening
here
and
at
another
related
museum,
Alexander
majors
house.
Can
you
tell
us
about
some
of
the
upcoming
events?
Absolutely.
J
So
we
have
an
abundance
of
events
taking
place
at
the
John
Wornall
House
Museum,
as
well
as
the
Alexander
majors,
House,
Museum
and
barn,
and
we're
coming
up
on
summer,
and
so
we
really
focus
in
the
summer
on
a
lot
of
our
youth
programming,
particularly
our
summer
camps.
Our
summer
camps
are
very
popular
and
we
really
get
the
kids
out
and
engaged
with
demonstrations
and
all
types
of
activities
from
storytelling
to
crafts
that
really
focus
on
different
aspects
of
the
mid
nineteenth
century,
including
the
Civil
War.
J
Of
course,
early
women's
history
westward
expansion,
and
you
know
the
kids
come
back.
We
have
camps
in
June
and
July
and
their
week-long
camps,
but
we
also
have
day
options
which
is
new
forests
this
year,
and
so
we've
got
a
lot
of
people
in
the
community.
They're
really
excited
about
that
opportunity,
and
we
even
have
some
kids
that
have
signed
up
for
both
months.
All.
J
But
you
know
we
have
kids
that
come
back
year
after
year
and
they
really
kind
of
become
a
family
to
us
and
after
they
leave
us
at
the
age
of
twelve
they're
eligible
to
come
back
as
junior
volunteers
and
help
out
with
the
younger
kids
during
the
summer
camp
program.
And
we
really
encourage
that
as
well.
And
what.
J
Historic
sites
like
the
Wornall
and
the
majors
house,
museums
really
serve
as
authentic
locations
to
immerse
yourself
and
learn
about
history.
Really,
no
other
way
to
do
it.
You
know
you're,
here
on-site
and
and
just
to
touch
base
with
with
yourself
in
that
time
period,
and
so
we
you
know,
we
see
that
as
so
important
to
be
immersive
and
an
on-site,
you
know
we.
We
also
have
programs
off-site.
J
J
Have
a
very
active,
a
Wed
website,
so
Wornall
majors
org
on
that
website.
We
would
encourage
you
to
sign
up
for
our
emails
and
we
would
send
you
very
detailed
information
about
all
of
our
current
programming
and
we're
also
very
active
on
social
media.
So
do
not
forget
to
visit
us
on
Facebook,
Twitter
and
Instagram
as
well.
Perfect.
