WEEKLY/SEMANAL - KANSAS CITY, MO

Over the past weekend the U.S. State Department released a security alert advising American citizens in several Mexican states, including Jalisco, Tamaulipas, Michoacan, Guerrero and Nuevo Leon, to take shelter until further notice.

A press conference last week announced the allocation of nearly $6 million in federal funding for security and readiness during the FIFA World Cup in Kansas City this summer.

From the moment the basketball players arrived at the Hy-Vee Arena to the moment they got onto the basketball court, it was all smiles and many of the players couldn’t believe they were playing in such a beautiful arena.
