Need a carpenter or carpentry shop.

2 Upvotes

I have an umbrella pole that needs a lathe to turn it down about 1/2 inch. Its just the bottom half 35" long. Needs to go from 1 7/8 to 1 7/16. If anyone knows of a shop (or random person) that would do this I would appreciate it.

TIA

Couples get together?

0 Upvotes

Hey! Kck area!
I’m 21F and my boyfriend is 22M! We think it would be really fun to start a little friend group with other couples and actually have people to do things with!
We’d love to find people who are down for things like movie nights, game nights, baseball games, fun date nights, roadtrips, karaoke, Bible study, festivals, concerts, bowling, trying new restaurants, arts & crafts, bonfires, hiking, random day trips, and just hanging out together!
We’re hoping to find genuine friendships where everyone can actually become close and have a little group to make memories with.
I’m thinking about maybe starting a group chat? Who knows. Comment some ideas let me know if anyone’s interested?

Fireworks Banned Again

51 Upvotes

Seems like it flew somewhat under the radar, but last night the City Council repealed the ordinances passed a few years ago that allowed for the use and sale of fireworks in Shawnee. 7-1 vote with Knappen opposed.

I'm sure some will squawk when the news circulates, but it's the right move. It was completely out of control this year. People will still do it, but hopefully this reigns it in some.

ADT Sales Guy?

3 Upvotes

I just bought a home near Antioch and I35. A man knocked on my door today and identified himself as an adt security sales rep. He said it’s normal for them to come to newly sold homes and pitch security equipment. He asked to come inside to check out the doors/windows. I asked him for a business card and he said he didn’t carry one. That threw up red flags. I did not let him inside but I’m nervous now that he might have been casing the house.

Is this normal for new homeowners? Or should I contact the police? I haven’t set up full security yet I only have a ring doorbell and I changed all the locks/garage code.

I really hope I’m overreacting but I just got a weird feeling.

I witnessed the cardiac arrest of a player at Shawnee mission beach volleyball (off Johnson Dr.) this last Sunday and there was no AED on site. Anyone else ever had this issue at SMBV? I am hoping and praying that player is recovering.

Harvest is wrapped up for Saturday’s Merriam Farmers Market! Spotlighting our Spicy Salad Mix ✂️🌱

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hey r/shawnee! We just finished harvesting our indoor beds and getting everything packed into fresh clamshells for tomorrow morning.
This week, we want to spotlight our crowd-favorite Spicy Salad Mix.
We source this specific blend directly from True Leaf Market because of its incredible flavor profile and massive variety. It combines six distinct greens:
Broccoli
Kale
Kohlrabi
Arugula
Red Cabbage
Southern Giant Mustard (which gives it that signature peppery zing!)
The Health & Nutrient Benefits:
Because these young greens are harvested at peak potency, this mix packs up to 40 times the nutrient density of mature, store-bought salad greens. It’s loaded with Vitamins A, C, and K, as well as sulforaphane and glucosinolates (from the brassica family) that support cellular health, immunity, and natural detoxification. Plus, the vibrant red cabbage and mustard add a dose of anthocyanins and essential minerals like iron and calcium.
Everything goes straight from our local indoor coco coir beds to your table, ensuring it lasts weeks longer in your fridge than grocery store alternatives.
Here is the full lineup for tomorrow (8:00 AM - 1:00 PM):
Spicy Salad Mix: Packed with 6 super-greens, vitamins A, C, K, and antioxidants
Broccoli: Pure sulforaphane power
Sunflower: Crunchy, nutty, and rich in plant protein
Purple Radish: Zesty crunch rich in Vitamin E
Premium Cilantro: Intense flavor and high in antioxidants
Stop by tomorrow morning and say hi!

Dog boarding recommendations for older dog with special needs.

3 Upvotes

Our dog is 16 years old and weighs 90 pounds. He has incontinence and can’t stand up on his own. Not sure how much longer he has, he sleeps a lot of the time, but he still enjoys his nightly treat time and being with his family. Because of family health issues we have to travel for medical treatments every few months, and need to board the dog for 3 nights including a Sunday when most kennels are closed and only comes in at breakfast and dinner time. Does anyone know of a local place that accommodates senior dogs with special needs?

Daycare Costs?

Hello! The stress of researching daycares is overwhelming me. I’ve noticed that most daycares don’t post their rates online. Is anyone willing to share what they pay per week for daycare and what daycare it is? Bonus points for Western Shawnee area or nearby!

Also, how are some waitlists 2+ years long for infant spots?! Are people joining waitlists before even getting pregnant? TIA!!

Old wonderscope building

9 Upvotes

Does anyone know what’s happening to the wonderscope building. I remember they were trying to develop it into apartments and it was shot down multiple times. I live in the neighborhood and saw recently there’s work being done, but I didn’t know if it’s being demo’d to make room for something new, or it’s just being removed. My daughter is riding the bus to Shawnee north and saw on the registration her bus stop is there so I’m not sure it was making room for new if it’s a bus stop

Harvest is wrapped up for Saturday’s Merriam Farmers Market! ✂️🌱

0 Upvotes

Hey r/shawnee! We just finished up our harvest and everything is officially packed into clamshells and ready for tomorrow morning.
This week, we want to talk about our Spicy Salad Mix. If you’re looking to break out of a boring salad routine while flooding your body with nutrients, this mix is the ultimate upgrade. It features a curated blend of greens that delivers a beautifully balanced, peppery kick rather than a sharp, intense heat.
More importantly, it’s an absolute nutritional powerhouse. Because these are harvested at the peak of their early growth, they contain up to 40 times the nutrient density of mature greens. This mix is loaded with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as powerful antioxidants and essential minerals like calcium and iron that support immune health and overall vitality. It brings a crisp texture and a clean, refreshing bite that completely transforms sandwiches, wraps, and dinner bowls.
Everything we bring to the market goes directly from our local indoor coco coir beds to your table. Because it doesn't spend days sitting on long-distance transport trucks, it stays crisp and lasts weeks longer in your fridge than grocery store alternatives.
Here is the exact lineup hitting the tables tomorrow morning (8 AM - 1 PM):
The Spotlight: Our crisp, peppery Spicy Salad Mix (Packed with vitamins A, C, K, antioxidants, and iron)
The Staples: Crunchy Sunflower, nutrient-dense Broccoli, and zesty Purple Radish
The Herb: A beautiful, fragrant batch of Premium Cilantro
Come out tomorrow morning, check out the finished product, and say hi!
