Inside Happy Gillis, a charming brunch spot tucked in Kansas City’s Columbus Park neighborhood, you find rejuvenation: a delicious breakfast, excellent coffee with free refills and a space where you can feel comfortable eating alone.

“We want it to be fun, kind of like a second home,” general manager Jeffery Gatton said. “That’s what it is for me a little bit. I’ve been here for nine years. So it’s probably the most home I’ve ever had.”

The restaurant, open since 2008, gives off a retro charm, with weathered metal signs outside, plus a ton of homey touches inside: wood tables and chairs, plants hanging everywhere, and even cute little table markers with KC icons and internet memes.

All 101 hearts and where they'll be placed have just been unveiled on our website! We cannot be more excited for everyone to experience these in person. They're all STUNNING!

https://theparadeofhearts.com

But please keep in mind — the final heart is not scheduled to be in place until April 27. So, while the app and website currently show the locations for where they'll be placed — it will take us until next week to get them all to their new homes for the spring/summer.

We appreciate your patience!

THE FOUNDING & EARLY YEARS OF KANSAS CITY, KANSAS

Happy 913 Day!

Kansas City, Kansas was founded at the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri rivers. The area was initially inhabited by Osage and Kansa Indian camps, and it caught the attention of William Clark during the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1806, who saw its potential as a fort or trading post.

The present-day Kansas City was formed through the consolidation of eight towns. The passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854 led to the establishment of rival settlements by both proslavery and abolitionist supporters, which spurred rapid development. The Kansas constitution, under which the territory entered the Union in 1861, was written in Wyandotte.

Wyandotte became the eastern terminus of the Union Pacific railroad, known as the Kansas Pacific at the time, in 1863. This led to the transportation and marketing of vast herds of Texas cattle, making Wyandotte a major hub with stockyards and meatpacking plants by the 1870s. In October 1872, "old" Kansas City, Kansas, was incorporated.

Other towns like Old Kansas City, Riverview, Armstrong, Armourdale, and Argentine also developed during this time, with Armourdale named after a meatpacking plant and Argentine growing around the Santa Fe Railway shops and rail yards.

These towns merged on March 6, 1886, to form a first-class city named Kansas City, except for Argentine, which was annexed in 1910. Rosedale, located south of the river and hosting the University of Kansas Medical Center, was annexed in 1922. Quindaro, an important free port on the Missouri founded by antislavery leaders, was absorbed into KCK as well.
