Here are the I-70 detour suggestions from MoDOT: Add 20 minutes one way axios.com/local/kansas-city/…

Fascinating partnership and use case for using AI in a highly public-facing implementation. Thanks for sharing, Mr. Mayor, and looking forward to seeing how this works out.

So 582 people downtown KC said that Chick-fil-A was one of the top retail choices they want to move in — and now it has. Wondering if the other 32,000 people feel the same? 👀 #kansascity #ChickfilA axios.com/local/kansas-city/…
