Hayes Hamburgers: A Slice of Nostalgia Struggling to Stay Open

Kansas City, MO — For nearly 70 years, Hayes Hamburgers at Antioch and Vivion Rd has been a blast of Kansas City past, serving up crisp burgers and nostalgia in equal measure, right down to it's refusal to get with the times and accept Plastic, operating as a cash-only business. Opened in 1955, this classic diner was once a beacon for late-night cravings, its neon sign glowing 24/7 over bustling counters and sizzling grills. But the era of round-the-clock service is now a fond memory, as the beloved eatery struggles to stay afloat amidst staffing shortages and an uncertain future. Like many small businesses, Hayes was hit hard by the pandemic. Once renowned for its reliability, the diner’s hours have become erratic. With only three employees on staff, day shifts are a scramble, and the once-vital overnight hours have been abandoned altogether. Despite this it is still a bargain, their sliders are only $2.10. Regulars are often greeted by locked doors and handwri...

In a gripping display of heroism and compassion, Ms. Lakatos and two of her brave companions successfully averted a tragedy on the evening of May 15, 2023. Positioned atop the daunting I-35 overpass on N. Brighton, they prevented a young man from taking a leap into the abyss. While their selfless act shone brightly amidst the darkness, it was disheartening to witness the apathy of numerous onlookers who, instead of extending a helping hand, chose to document the harrowing episode on their smartphones. Holly Pyke who was driving by describes the scene. "We passed right before the cops got there. There were 4 cars stopped in the middle of the road and were looking down at a couple of people sitting in the ditch on 35 below the bridge. Not sure what was happening though." The scene unfolded with Ms. Lakatos and her other friend Ms. Lee valiantly grappling to keep the troubled young man from breaking free of their grasp and pursuing his ill-fated course. As they strug...

Gladstone’s Taco Comeback: General Mills to Reopen La Tiara Plant, Because the City Deserves More Crunch 🌮

🌮 GLADSTONE, Mo. — After what felt like a dark age of soft tacos and store-brand shells, Gladstone is getting its crunch back. At Monday night’s City Council meeting, City Manager Robert Baer dropped the kind of news that makes every taco lover’s heart—and stomach—rejoice: General Mills plans to restart production at the La Tiara taco shell facility at 607 NE 69th St., with operations expected to resume in January 2026. That’s right—after a long siesta, the beloved shell-maker is getting back to work. So dust off your seasoning packets, Gladstone. The taco tides are turning. Residents might recall when the La Tiara site went quiet, leaving local grocery shelves a little sadder and Taco Tuesday a little less festive. But now, Gladstone officials say the company’s return could mean new jobs, renewed industrial buzz—and, most importantly, fewer broken shells at the bottom of your box. “It’s always great when a business reopens,” Baer said at the meeting. “Especially one that makes s...
