City Thrift is a great thrift store if you are looking for designer items like purses and jeans…read more They don't have much of a pet section, and their linens are limited. Those are typically the only things I shop for. Otherwise, the store is organized and the sales are clearly labeled. Their donation drive up area is convenient though no one said a word to me when they took my items.

I never been to a store where I wanted to run and make a yelp review faster than today…read more Not because I want to tarnish this business reputation. Although, I think they have already accomplished that from the other reviews. But, I wanted to make these reviews so the people who fall victim to their scam and unfathomable greed. Walking around we just saw predominately elderly shoppers. They have their items priced erratically. Remember that old raggedy 2000 jacket from old navy your mom bought you that you never wore so you threw it in the back of your closet and it grew it's own habit and ecosystem? Your mom bought it for 12.99 back in 2000, but now with its chic mold and living creatures and a few holes from the moths, at City Thrift they charge 19.99 not 20 but 19.99, cause if it ends in .99 it's a DEAL! We spent an hour playing, "guess the price". Probably the spookiest game since the Ouija. This place preys on the elderly, preys on the less fortunate. You could go to Walmart and buy 4 items for the price of one of theirs. This isn't a "vintage" store. This is a sham. I put every item I wanted back. Also, there's zero mirrors. No fitting rooms. They want you to buy it and be stuck with it. This isn't a store that cares about customers. This is a store of an owner with a poor business model and probably a grumpy ego. I may have put my other stuff back, but I found a duck okay? I wanted the duck. I needed this duck. Hate to give this place any money but, it was priced at 3.99, I could muster up 3.99 and save the duck. This little guy had a goodwill sticker that said 2.99. But... wait... when we went to the register, their sticker was magically gone. I asked how much they the duck was. Already wondering how much I'd squander for this poor duck. They debated whether to charge me what was already priced by goodwill (that they scribbled out) or up charge me...... Literally a preposterous suggestion. After walking an hour through this ghastly place and playing "guess the price" and trying to up charge me for my sweet duck sent me over the edge. I asked them, "how do you even pick prices for stuff?" She said, "we charge half of the retail price" Then I asked, what about the pitiable 2000 sweaters from 24 years ago? How do you know that retail price today? And how can you charge half for something two decades old? It's not vintage...it's someone's trash at this point. They had no answers. They must know the insanity behind the business model... I've attached some fun photos for yall to browse. You may need to put some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse to dilute the spookies you're about to see.

It can baffle the mind how few people are aware of this feline sanctuary. They are doing great work…read morehere for these big cats and a few other animals in their care. And every paid visit helps continue what they're doing for these creatures. A visit here includes detailed information about the sanctuary, its founders, and all the animals in their care. Crazy rescue stories, behavior and personalities of the big cats, and the expansion plans in progress to give more area to the animals. Located in Louisburg, KS, it can be a long drive to get there from downtown Kansas City, but it's totally worth it. And if you can, be sure to come during feeding time for even more educational information about the diets of these beautiful animals.

I find as my kids age, I hold certain places we've visited for years in the highest regard. This is…read moreone of them. I adore them for the heart it takes to run a place such as this. I treasure the small intimate settings where you can really observe the animals. I dig on talking with the workers, who you can tell love their jobs. I don't mind the admission fees, because I know it goes right back into the animals. And I don't even mind getting stuck in the gift shop for the same reason. This is a smaller venue, so sometimes my kids fly through and I feel a little cheated, but the coolest part is you can just wrap back around again. Most the time you'll even see something different on the second pass.

We stopped into this particular Savers today to see their selection. It was a large thrift store…read morewith almost all the parking spots taken. It was generally clean and the staff was nice. They had a decent selection of items but I do feel they are overpriced on a variety of items. Many clothing items can be purchased almost new at Ross for the same price.

This is my favorite Johnson County Library branch. They are probably the biggest JoCo library and…read moreeverything is pretty easy to find. If you can't find something, the employees are always friendly and happy to help. I really like their new check out process-- it is self checkout and goes really quickly. I like using their online website to put books on hold so I can just go pick them up when they are ready. They have an amazing selection and are really good about having the latest new releases (including video games and DVDs) in stock. Sometimes you have to wait a bit until your hold comes up in the queue, but that is to be as expected. Additionally, the wifi is great and there's always a place to sit. The library is pretty quiet but can get a little rowdy right when school gets out around 3 or in the summer.

I visited this library with two of my grandchildren so I was primarily in the children's section…read more The library looks older on the outside and like it needs a refreshing. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a young teen volunteer. She had asked if the children had gotten their free summer book. So they picked out a sticker and a book for their appropriate age. She was a very nice young lady and the kids enjoyed picking out a book. Then we asked the main librarian for the kids section was located. We went to that area and I was a little disappointed that they did not have more activities for children. They had a table with three puzzles. They also had a small wall for toddlers that had some things to do. They had a decent collection of children's books and I picked out some toddler board books to check out. They had some armchairs for parents to read to their children. It's not a particularly large library, but it's good for the area. The front librarian was OK and her attitude, but the children's librarian had an attitude. She had her face covered by a large black mask, and even with that on, you can smile with your eyes. She did not do that and never spoke to any families. Also, she had an activism T-shirt on, and her attitude went with it. I don't know why all of these Johnson County libraries are determined to hire children's librarians that have unwelcoming attitudes. It is a real turn off. I have only one more library left to review and that is in Gardner.

I have such mixed things to say about this place. The best of it is the community of residents, the…read moresupport staff, and the relatively pretty, park-like surroundings, which is mostly lawn, but does include a little pocket of shade and a flower garden. There are a lot of selling points that aren't there. The "gym" is a cold, dark room with a table full of free weights and an elliptical machine that few can use, and the group exercise consists of, one day a week, having someone on staff turn on a TV in a common room and tune in to a broadcast chair exercise program. The "library" is a cold room with people's book discards and a lot of proselyting material. The library and the gym both are sealed off by very heavy fire doors, with difficult access for someone using a wheelchair or a walker. Meals are constructions of ultra-processed foods, with too much fat and salt, and all of the vegetables seem to come from cans. If you like tater tot casserole, you will thrive here. The best "activities" include weekly Spark meetings, two movies, "show-and-tell" programs in which residents give presentations in their areas of expertise; and then there are also calendar-filling things like hand massages. You never see an Armour Oaks van taking residents to the art museum, the Kauffman garden, or any play, lecture, or concert, but there is a weekly trip to Wal-mart. There is an on-site salon that charges extra if you have hair that is not naturally straight. There is a bingo game, a few card games, and a communal jigsaw puzzle. There is no dietitian, no group exercise options other than that one day each week in front of the TV. My parent has lived there for a while. It hadn't been on the top of our list of places to move to after the first time we toured, when the building reeked of sewer gas which the woman showing us an available apartment claimed was simply coming up through the foundation and then she deflected blame onto the city. At the time, we were told that there were more than 10 available apartments, but the one we were shown had been empty long enough for the water to have completely evaporated from the toilet bowl (the source of the sewer odor), but not long enough for AO to have cleaned the last tenant's food from the freezer. We returned for another look after hearing that a new building manager had been hired and was running the place with competence and integrity. That person has since been removed, as was the person who used to be in charge of dining before the age of the tater tot casserole.

As a matter of fact when they moved in it was said that residents park in front near the wornall entrance and visitors park in rear. So why all of a sudden is it not ok. Why wasn't it to be known upon them moving in and what kind of people do they hire with a smart a@$ mouth who has no people friendly attitude? It would be a whole differ review if it weren't for the choice of words and tones used. And maybe signs should be posted. How bout the ones that park illegally?
