Community Alert: Disturbing Incident Reported on Gladstone Trails Sparks Safety Concerns GLADSTONE, MO — April 24, 2025 A disturbing encounter this week at Happy Rock Park has sparked safety concerns among Northland residents and prompted a public warning about suspicious activity on local trails.

New Cocktail Lounge in Gladstone

News Bulletin Because what Downtown Gladstone really needed was another trendy lounge, NYX Spirits has officially opened. The ribbon-cutting ceremony—hosted by the Gladstone Area Chamber of Commerce—marked the arrival of yet another business catering to craft cocktail enthusiasts rather than everyday locals. NYX touts “small-batch spirits” and a blend of “tradition and innovation,” which likely translates to high prices and Instagrammable glassware. While some celebrate the addition, others wonder how this helps address actual community needs. But hey, at least we’ve got artisanal booze while we wait on road repairs and real progress. The news release from city hall: "Congratulations to NYX Spirits on their recent ribbon cutting in Downtown Gladstone, hosted by the Gladstone Area Chamber of Commerce - Gladstone, Missouri!
