We have had several reports of citizens with their dogs off leash in Fishing Linear Park. There is a leash law and citizens are expected to abide by it. The reports have been sent to the Excelsior Springs Police Department.
Comments were mixed in regards to Applebee’s announcement that they would be remaining open. Many weighed in on their personal feelings about the service, both positive and negative. Don Collins said, “Three of us Vets ate there yesterday and the food was awesome and the service was excellent. Best chicken tenders…yummmm!!”
There were a number of local churches listed in this thread, with many offering their own churches as options. Zion KC was mentioned more than any other, but there are many options for the youth to get involved locally, if desired.
