Hayes Hamburgers: A Slice of Nostalgia Struggling to Stay Open

Kansas City, MO — For nearly 70 years, Hayes Hamburgers at Antioch and Vivion Rd has been a blast of Kansas City past, serving up crisp burgers and nostalgia in equal measure, right down to it's refusal to get with the times and accept Plastic, operating as a cash-only business. Opened in 1955, this classic diner was once a beacon for late-night cravings, its neon sign glowing 24/7 over bustling counters and sizzling grills. But the era of round-the-clock service is now a fond memory, as the beloved eatery struggles to stay afloat amidst staffing shortages and an uncertain future. Like many small businesses, Hayes was hit hard by the pandemic. Once renowned for its reliability, the diner’s hours have become erratic. With only three employees on staff, day shifts are a scramble, and the once-vital overnight hours have been abandoned altogether. Despite this it is still a bargain, their sliders are only $2.10. Regulars are often greeted by locked doors and handwri...

Metro North Mall's Macy's Finally Put Out of Its Misery

The Dead Remains of Metro North Mall For years, the lonely Macy's at Metro North Mall stood as a haunting relic of retail's heyday, surrounded by a desolate expanse where a bustling mall once thrived. Now, the end is near for the department store that has endured long past its prime. Macy's has confirmed the location at 400 NW Barry Road is slated to close next month, marking the final chapter for one of Kansas City’s most iconic but beleaguered shopping landmarks. A Struggle to Survive The Metro North Mall was once a jewel in the crown of Kansas City’s retail scene. Opened in 1976, it featured a skating rink, movie theaters, and dozens of stores that catered to the city's northern suburbs. For decades, it thrived as a community hub. By the 2000s, however, the mall struggled to compete with newer shopping destinations like Zona Rosa, coupled with the rise of online shopping. As the mall fell into decline, stores shuttered one by one, until it was finally demolished in 2...
