About this listen

 Good morning, this is Kansas City Local Pulse for Thursday, January 22. We kick off with the weather shaping our day, as a cold front brings scattered snow showers and brief squalls this morning and midday, with gusty west winds up to 40 miles per hour and temps hovering near 30 before dropping to the low 20s this afternoon. Flxweather forecasts light coatings of snow, so bundle up for errands around the Plaza or Country Club Plaza, and watch for slick spots on I-70. A cold weather advisory warns of wind chills near 20 below starting Friday night through Saturday noon, so we plan ahead for hypothermia risks during outdoor activities.

Shifting to sports, Chiefs fans, our team keeps shaking up the offensive staff, hiring George Caroff and eyeing more changes like possibly bringing back Eric Bieniemy to fix the line, per KCSN reports. This comes amid heavy snow talk delaying draft prep at the Shrine Bowl.

On city hall fronts, activists are mobilizing downtown near City Hall after the killing of Renee Good by ICE officers, protesting for justice and sparking conversations on public safety that hit home for our neighborhoods.

New business buzz includes a local entrepreneur securing an SBA loan to open shop in a great Crossroads district spot, boosting our job market where openings hover around 15,000 citywide. Real estate sees median home prices steady at about 280,000 dollars, with quick sales in Waldo drawing buyers despite the chill.

Crime report from the past day stays factual: police made arrests after a vehicle pursuit near Troost Avenue ended safely, and no major alerts, though we urge caution on icy roads.

Schools shine with Shawnee Mission North winning their debate tournament, and upcoming, catch the community ice sculpture fest at Crown Center this weekend if weather eases.

For a feel-good lift, listeners shared stories of neighbors shoveling walks together on Prospect Avenue amid last week's snow, knitting our community tighter.
