@KCURMichael And thanks for the shout out and handsome portrait!

It’s a sure sign of the approaching holiday season when @MAugustineKMBC infers his annual tradition of reporting on the opening of the Crown Center Ice Terrace. Have fun and be safe out there!!

@KCURMichael Always proud to be the Holiday Harbinger!!!

Tree down across 5400 Central, lifting up a portion of sidewalk. @NickBenderKMBC @kmbc

Another big tree down, 58th Terr and Wornall. Did not cause structural damage, nor is much of it in the street.Also appears to have been hollow in the center, so more vulnerable than it appeared @NickBenderKMBC @kmbc

SB lanes Brookside Blvd shut down by tree

Big oak down on southbound lanes of Brookside Blvd. 55 Terr/Brookside Blvd. Power out in much of this neighborhood @NickBenderKMBC @kmbc

After another successful @CrownCenter ice terrace opening, with no falls, the Pied Piper had some autographs to sign! @lenjenningsKMBC @KrisKetzKMBC @LaraMoritzKMBC @kmbc

@lenjenningsKMBC @KevinRomary @KrisKetzKMBC @kmbc @CrownCenter Yeah, that’s about right.

@KevinRomary @KrisKetzKMBC @MAugustineKMBC @kmbc @CrownCenter He has improved over the years, but I think he’d say that’s pretty close to how he started. 😂

Tomorrow is a holiday tradition. Getting up and watching @MAugustineKMBC on @kmbc news at the opening of the Ice Rink at @CrownCenter . Will he fall? Will he do a triple axel? Stay tuned!!!!
