Northland Dairy Queen Closes After 30 Years of Scooping Sweetness

Ice Cream Enters the Abyss – (and Sadly, Just “Scooped” Itself Right Off the Map) In what must be the most profound news of the year (in the annals of local ice cream drama, at least), the venerable Dairy Queen at 615 Armour Road—proudly crushing cones in the Northland for over three decades—has vanished from the digital world. The location is now officially “permanently closed,” exiled from Dairy Queen’s website and marked departed on Google according to the KC Star. https://www.kansascity.com/news/business/openings-closings/article311843290.html Tony’s Kansas City , always the beacon of blogosphere brilliance, dubbed this cosmic chill-out “Ice Cream Into Abyss” and admitted it might be their best writing in a while. They weren’t kidding. It’s not every day a once-iconic frozen treat haven gets mourned with such dramatic flair. Here’s the skinny, Thirty-plus years of Blizzards, sundaes, and drive-thru detours, all flushed down the metaphorical drain in one fell swoop—...

“Jumping Into Traffic on Hwy 169: The New Retirement Plan?”

Drivers Report Men Jumping Into Traffic on Highway 169 Kansas City, Mo. — A local driver is warning others after a disturbing encounter on U.S. Highway 169 southbound near Barry Road on Sunday. According to the report, a man was seen crouching on the shoulder before suddenly jumping into traffic. The driver, who managed to avoid hitting him, said two other men were also nearby—one of them walking down the middle of the highway. “I was just past Barry Road when one of them leapt in front of my car,” the driver’s spouse shared in an online post. “Thankfully, my husband was able to react in time and didn’t hit him.” While the motivation for the incident is unclear, some residents have raised concerns that this could be part of a troubling trend.

Gladstone Gets New BBQ Resturant

Off the Hook BBQ: A Meaty Carnival of Madness Step aside Smokehouse, dainty salads and kale smoothies—there’s a new sheriff in town, and he’s wielding a rack of ribs like a medieval broadsword. Wardell Hooks Jr., pitmaster extraordinaire, has opened the doors of Off the Hook BBQ at 7506 N. Oak Trafficway, Gladstone, and folks, it’s like someone threw a tailgate party inside a smoker and invited every flavor in Kansas City. Hooks didn’t just build a BBQ business; he wrestled it from the fiery pits of determination, slept next to his smoker like it was a teddy bear, and prayed to the Holy Brisket Gods. His reward? A brick-and-mortar temple of smoke, sauce, and unapologetically messy joy. The Menu That Roared Right now, he’s offering a “starter pack” of meaty mayhem: brisket (both chopped and sliced for your textural pleasure), pulled pork, ribs, jumbo chicken wings that could double as medieval weaponry, and hot dogs so overloaded with brisket, cheese, and jalapeños they shoul...
