It's the annual Innovators and Influencers issue, and this year's participants are particularly noteworthy. It's a wildly talented, diverse group of movers and shakers that have one thing that unites them—they are all dedicated to making our metro a better place to live. Rhiannon Ally, our feature Q&A, is familiar to anyone who watched local nightly news for years, and now you can find her behind the ABC News anchor desk. Our food writer, Jenny Vergara, took on the task of finding the best places in town for grownups to mix food, fun games, and a glass of their favorite adult beverage. We tour a Mission Hills home that was renovated during Covid—while the owners were living on the West Coast. It's a perfect home for a couple that loves to entertain. Departments and columns include beauty, wellness, and fashion; entertaining; expanded arts and culture coverage; dining out and dining in, including recipes and up-to-date info on KC's restaurant and bar scene.
