Because “What’s going in over there?” is the official question of Lee’s Summit.
Let’s be honest: between the construction on the corner, the school board updates, and the new restaurants opening downtown, it is hard to keep up. You want to stay connected to your community, but you don’t always have time to sit through a three-hour City Hall meeting or scroll through endless social media groups to find out when the next live music set starts.
That is where the Lowdown comes in.
What We Are
The Lee’s Summit Lowdown is a weekly newsletter (and now a local hub!) dedicated to the people who love living, working, and playing in LS. We cut through the noise to bring you a quick, fun recap of the news that actually affects your neighborhood.
Think of us as your local “cheat sheet.” Every week, we bring you:
- The LS Loop: A breakdown of City Council and School Board updates without the jargon.
- Live & Local: Your ultimate guide to live music and local nightlife.
- The Tasting Room: Honest recommendations for the best eats in town (like the pot roast nachos you didn’t know you needed).
- The Neighborly Nod: Spotlighting the small businesses that make Lee’s Summit unique.
Why We Do It
Lee’s Summit is more than just a spot on a map; it is a community with a “small-town soul” that is growing fast. We believe that when neighbors know what is happening in their own backyard, the community gets stronger. Plus, we really like local trivia and exotic animals visiting Green Street.
Join the Conversation
The Lowdown is better when you are part of it. Whether you live in Lakewood, Raintree, or right off Main Street, we want to hear from you.
