Anyone know of businesses here in Olathe, or possibly Gardner or relatively closeby areas, that hire 14 year olds? My son is 14.5 and looking for a job, but is struggling to find places that will hire at that age. Thanks so much in advance!

Hi everyone! We’re starting a new run club in Overland Park. The plan is for Saturday morning runs + a little social hour afterward at a local cafe. Just looking to meet some people, get outside, and build a fun community. First run is Sept. 5! Follow along on Instagram @goodpacekc if you’re interested :) https://strava.app.link/fY7jp40jP5b

Mayor John Bacon was the only “no” vote. His reason, he said, centered on protesters’ concerns and his own personal experience.

“I’ve had some experiences dealing with people that are needy in my business, and I think it has affected us negatively,” Bacon said.

Looking for part time, evening and weekend work; I work 6:30-3:30-4:00 and looking for part time work for extra income. Experience in warehousing, shipping, customer service, Indeed and Snagajob are wastes of time.

On Tuesday, the Olathe City Council will consider adding Kansas’ new “Halo Act” to its own Public Offense Code, about six weeks after the controversial measure became state law.

The law will remain in Olathe even if the city council votes against it tomorrow. That means that even if the city council declines to adopt the Halo Act provision, it would remain enforceable as a state law.

Still, adding the ordinance to Olathe’s Public Offense Code would allow violations to also be prosecuted in Olathe Municipal Court.

Anyone know of a good local Tax Preparer who can help with Federal and multiple-state returns, quarterly payments, etc?

Thanks!

Does anybody have any local lawn mowing services they would recommend? Less than a quarter of an acre lot, near Black Bob Park. Nothing fancy, just looking for a mow, trim/edge, and leaf blow. I'm trying to not have to sign up for one of those lawn service maintenance conglomerates and just go with someone local.

Thanks in advance!

What’s the city vibe? We’re from Southeast Texas but have lived in North St Louis the past 2 yrs. We are Apostolic/Pentecostal, small family, love outdoors, love biking and shopping. What are some interesting things about your city? Any places to avoid? Middle income neighborhoods (300-340ish?)

I want to find the best carrot cake for my sister's birthday in the area. Anyone have any good recommendations please?

What's New?

Bar Crawl Builder: answer 4 quick questions (how late you're out, how many stops, food or drinks, what you're drinking) and it builds you a timed route through tonight's happy hours, specials, and events, with a one-tap Google Maps link. Probably my favorite thing I've built so far.

Also added an interactive map with 225+ live venue markers, a calendar view for upcoming events, and a dedicated explore/search page.

Under the hood: Up to 363 bars, 236 happy hours, 556 drink specials, 730 events, and 52 food specials all human-verified

A few small fixes: pinch-to-zoom finally works on mobile, every bar now has a free "claim this listing" link if you're an owner, and a "report incorrect info" button if you spot something wrong.

Coming soon: favorites + a weekly what's-on digest, and a self-service dashboard for bars to update their own specials.

Would love feedback, especially if you spot bad info on a listing, that's exactly what the report button is for!

Hey everybody, I operate a small solo lawn care business out of Olathe. Currently have my stuff parked in my front yard and it doesn’t make the neighbors very happy. I’m looking for someone with land or owns a shop that has extra storage in the back to store one truck + 2 trailers year around. Name your price. DM’s welcome.

Just had some dental work done so I need something soft to eat. Best place for loaded Mac around us?

Called today try to get someone at Murlen and 135th St. where the construction is going on. Traffic was backed up all the way to 127th St.

Called the usual number +1 (913) 971-7500, which is answered by an answering machine.

To speak to someone in dispatch, you’re supposed to hit the star (*).

But that forwards you to a number that that’s been disconnected. So there’s no nonemergency police line in Olathe currently.

​

  Can anyone recommend a company that does lawn grading? We have a swampy area on the side of our house, and we’re sure it’s not caused by a water leak.

There was a young girl walking through the middle of traffic on Mur-Len today. Like on the dashed-line while cars passed on either side of her. I was able to encourage her on to the sidewalk and walked with her until police arrived.

This subreddit isn't super busy but I wanted to just see if anybody knew her and knows she's home safe. If you do know her, I don't need any details, I just want to know she found her family.

The last several times I have been over there, the diesel pumps have been bagged off. They still list a price for diesel. What gives? Did the fuel truck accidentally pour unleaded into the diesel tank? Does anyone know? I don't hardly go inside convenience stores, so I haven't been inside to ask.

We just sold our house 🎉 but now comes the stressful part, moving. I am hoping to find some free boxes or at least some inexpensive boxes around the Olathe area people are looking to get rid of. Open to businesses who throw away cardboard boxes, like a wine or alcohol shop. I can come pickup whenever. I really appreciate the help. Thanks so much!

Hello, looking for recommendations for someone to re do a bathtub/shower combo.

Right now it's tile, was debating on doing an insert style tub/shower or possibly going with a different tile.

Any recommendations on people to do this would be great. Thanks!

You are my neighbor. Please participate in the process of building a stronger community!

Does anybody have recommendations for good places in the area to go shopping for quality used furniture? I like buying sturdy, quality, secondhand furniture and love older styles like mid century modern. The best place I know of is Couches to Curios over on Metcalf, but I really want to expand my search beyond there and Facebook Marketplace. I don't know where to look more nearby in Olathe.

I'm on the hunt for a nice table, bench, and airmoire. I love mid century modern but I'm open to other styles if I find something I love. I just don't know where to look!

The older I get, the more appreciated good bean and chee. Anywhere in the Olathe area worth checking out?

My kiddos have this Insurance my youngest is neurodivergent and nonverbal. Unfortunately, the doctor, I spent more than a month to researching and looking for and then looking into who was absolutely amazing. Their entire practice went out of coverage.

I have so many insanely huge things going on right now that I just do not have the time to be sitting in front of a screen and reading to try to filter out good doctors from bad doctors. I am aware of the tool online however that was how I ended up here. I just picking a doctor reading a couple reviews and having an absolutely horrific experience.

If anybody knows a pediatricians, my kids are six and four in the Olathe area but also willing to go as far as Gardner Ottawa or north to Kansas City I don’t really wanna go that far if I don’t have to because I do live 40 minutes south of Olathe Lenexa Lee Summit Overland Park literally I will make a good drive happily for a good doctor to make sure both of them get to Care that they need!!!

I don’t know if this will sound dramatic or maybe not super realistic, however not long after my son was born my youngest, so about 3 1/2 years I’d say I made one change, one tiny, singular change, and that one little itty-bitty, but extremely difficult to do thing, not only saved me for myself, but it has allowed me to grow and learn and expand and experience and most importantly become the mother I always wanted to be.

What was the change? Minimizing my screen time at first it was subtle today I hate looking at a screen. The amount of difference it made in so many aspects for me and them is absolutely mind blowing and while I walk around with a broken heart kids in public desperately vying for their parents attention, while they are just stuck in a screen 💔

Updated photos of the roundabout and bridge at 119th & Northgate. There had been some recent confusion on how Nelson connects so hopefully that is more clear with these photos.

The concrete for the bridge looks done too. The connections are there on the east and west side. So we're getting closer! They still have a decent amount of work to do on 119th east of the roundabout so it'll still be at least a month. I'd guess it should open around Labor Day at this point.
