If anyone wants your work featured in the banner and/or the icon, feel free to comment here with your work.

It looks like Lemmy community icons display at 120x120 px and banners display at 736x230 px, but you can upload larger images than that. So whatever you submit, try to keep a 1:1 aspect ratio for the icon and 16:5 for the banner. If something ends up needing resized, I can deal with that part.

Original content from members of this community only, please. If you want credited in the sidebar, also drop your preferred @ in with your submission.

I'll give this thread a while to gather submissions before making any changes and if there are multiple submissions, I will use the most upvoted. If there are no submissions after a while, I may end up using some of my own photography.

Went to the new terminal for the second time today and parked in short term parking. There are lights in each row that indicate where there are available parking spots. Pretty cool!

2nd time visiting the new terminal today and we parked in short term parking. The garage has indicators in every row that show you where there are available parking spots. Pretty cool!

Hopefully this saves someone a trip to the curb because I always forget about holiday delays.

Also it's election day. Go make our city council better

The city's new policies place a 12.5% cap on how many of an apartment building's total units can be permitted for short-term rental, down from the previous 25%. It also prohibits new short-term rental permits for units that are in incentive-receiving properties and not occupied by a long-term resident. And it requires short-term rentals to be re-registered whenever properties' ownership changes hands.

Better late than never, this would have been a huge win to have in place before the World Cup.

Don’t forget about the upcoming election on June 20. Early voting is available now.

KC Tenants Power (the political sister organization of the KC Tenants tenant union) has done a lot of work and research to prepare this voter guide and imo, it’s the best progressive guide out there. This election has some of the best and most progressive candidates we’ve probably ever had.

"Kansas City’s newest cultural institution, the Zhou B. Art Center, is expected to open before the end of the year, repurposing a former segregated public school into a creative hub in the 18th and Vine District"

The Royals stadium move is down to two locations. The east village and NKC.

Can they both fail and The K win out?

I'm driving an RV from Colorado on I70 soon. I've had Joe's before, but it was a bit of a trick getting my vehicle in and out of Kansas City.

So, do you know of any roadside BBQ worth trying? Bonus points if there's a campground nearby.
