Here at LALtoday, we’re all about getting out in our community and seeing all that our city has to offer — but we also love our alone time. Whether you prefer quieter social events, feel drained by excess socialization, or just need a push to get out there, we’re here to help with a guide to local organizations and events well suited for the introverts in our Swan City flock. Book clubs are on the rise, but you don’t have to be chatty to get in on the fun.

The Parade of Hearts is taking a breather before its grand 2026 return with a brand-new design — but KC’s love affair with larger-than-life sculptures? That’s been going strong for decades. Kansas City has been playing host to herds, bears, and hearts since the new millennium, turning the metro into a rotating gallery of fiberglass whimsy. And while some of these creations have found permanent homes (hello, Brookside’s Chiefs + Royals cow), others have vanished into the art history archives.

While Midwestern weather has us wrapped up like foil-covered ballpark dogs, we’re rounding third on the wait for Royals baseball. If you’re feeling blue (in the best way) ahead of Opening Day, here’s the play-by-play before our boys take on the Cleveland Guardians at The K next Thursday, March 27. Feels like an eon since last season, right? After a long-awaited postseason return, the Royals’ offseason was a quiet one—aside from our shortstop’s “Witt-a-burger” wedding.

Sometimes, you just need to get away — and that’s where we can help. While February is considered at KCI, we figure a few die-hard fans and back-to-back championships have skewed the numbers just a tad. If you’re looking to escape Kansas City’s chilly winter weather (and don’t plan on dropping a few grand for Super Bowl tickets), here are the best flights you can take in the coming months. Note: Prices are subject to change.

We buy the pet-safe ice melt, we spend our time at dog-friendly bars, and we most certainly dress them up for Red Friday. As one of the US’s most pet-friendly cities, KC has a reputation to uphold when it comes to our four-legged friends. Considering Leawood’s recent rollback on animal licensing, we figured it was time to em-bark on a deep dive into our city’s codes dictating what’s required of responsible pet owners. No need to let Fido behind the wheel.

If you’ve ever wandered through UMKC’s campus, you’ve probably come across the sprawling lawn and castle-like facade of the Epperson House. Built in 1920 by insurance tycoon Uriah Epperson, the 24,000-sqft, 54-room mansion was eventually acquired by the University of Missouri Kansas City and has sat empty for over a decade... until now.
