    Hi everyone, this is Des. As you know, I consider myself being one of the neighborhood residential experts when it comes to our Lee’s Summit community. At least that’s what I tell myself, “if you can’t laugh at yourself then it just isn’t fun” as laughter is a big part of this business.

    Today, I had the pleasure of interviewing one of Lee’s Summit’s hometown staples; UNC’S Burgers located at 240 NW Oldham Parkway. He only goes by the name of Unc when he greets you the minute you walk into his establishment. UNC’S was established 8 years ago and has since become one of the city’s favorite places to dine with up to 27 UNC’s burger types to choose from.

    Now don’t get it twisted, the grade A quality of his meats always remains the same; the ratio of leanness to fat along with his toppings gives UNC’s burgers the quality and culinary delight customers crave. If you work out, he’s got a burger for that, if you’re into paleo dieting, he’s got a burger for that or if just crave a big tasty burger, UNC’s wont’ let you down. I asked UNC, with all the fast food joints around the area, what makes his place standout from the pack. His response was; the quality of his food and services. I personally can vouch for both as my wife and I ate there one Friday night and enjoyed every morsel.

    From a customer service standpoint, how many owners of a business personally come down, sit and talk to you while your food is being prepared? Unc chatted with us about his family, how he started the business and more. Today, I witnessed firsthand when one of his customers came in, UNC grabbed a menu then greeted and seated his customer. He began striking up a conversation with that customer. I thought to myself, this is what really sets UNC’s apart from other eateries in the area.

    The icing on the cake is that UNC’s BURGERS has been voted on several occasions as having the best burgers in the area. It is worth the drive as I have had friends drive to UNC’s from Overland Park, KS! So come on through, UNC would enjoy the honor and pleasure of serving you up!

    I met a longtime friend in downtown Lee's Summit for lunch the other day. We chose a little restaurant on 3rd street called 3rd Street Social. I parked on the street right across from the front door! When I first went in, I noticed right away that it was a continuance of the rustic charm and cozy atmosphere of downtown Lee's Summit; exposed brick and high ceilings with modern touches of elegance.

    I ordered the Korean Tacos made with the most tender bulgogi! The first bite was an "eye roller"! I thought about it all day. Oh, and the wait staff was very kind and attentive, but respected our privacy. Meal was out in about 10 minutes. Prices were reasonable, too. I will definitely be going back! I grew up in Lee's Summit and so appreciate all of the hard work the city has put into revitalizing this area!

    With growth there will always be growing pains. The City of Lee’s Summit is finding this transition to hold true as many residents of this city are seeing big box developments take place in many parts of the city. Unfortunately to some residents it’s going to be a tough growing pain for those who are used to the quietness and manicured lawns. But I can unequivocally and emphatically proclaim, that neighborhoods continue to remain pristine and thrive more than ever before which is an enormous attraction for newcomers.

    As a local resident myself, I’ve seen lots of changes since moving here just over two years ago and I can say that although Lee’s Summit is surpassing 90,000 in population, this has lured a large number in diversity that adds flavor to the city and also a well-rounded quality of life fulfillment.

    So, to my City of Lee’s Summit, I say embrace change and lets be risk takers! It will only make our city and our communities shine that much brighter.

    Yesterday after the rain finally stopped and we saw a glimmer of sunlight; we set out for downtown Lee’s Summit which I feel is a top attraction as compared to most surrounding cities. Lee's Summit downtown offers many varieties of locally owned eateries, shops, art galleries and neighborhood cycling shops.

    Something new to me was discovering the stationary music area where you can play music; well at least in my case, attempt to make music sounds.

    A notable mention about the Lee’s Summit Downtown Area; Main Street in Lee’s Summit received the 2019 National Main Street Accreditation in April 2019 which is the highest achievement for revitalization that a downtown can receive. Go Lee’s Summit!!

    I live in Lee's Summit and today was our annual Tour de Lakes cycling organized ride which covers five lakes, Longview, Raintree, Lakewood, Blue Springs and Jacomo, and passes through the cities of Kansas City, Lee's Summit, Greenwood and Blue Springs.

    What makes this ride so popular rain or shine which we experienced both today; everyone comes together as one. No matter your level of skill-set for cycling, or the type of bike you ride, it doesn’t matter. It’s about getting out, being active and having fun during the event.

    I often speak with people before, during and after the event. Today, I met a young man new to cycling. He stated this is his second year and went on to say last year he didn’t finish the 59-mile route but this year he did! He was very proud and I congratulated and encouraged him to keep it up and stay consistent.

    Tour de Lake just doesn’t bring out the Kansas area metroplex, but I met people from Denver and Detroit which goes to show that the City of Lee’s Summit as well as the Parks and Recreation Department puts their best foot forward. Great work Lee's Summit!
