UKRAFT Brunch Café on Kiener Plaza now open at Peabody Plaza
When brothers Matt and Mike Ratz opened UKRAFT Café & Catering in a 50-seat space across the street from Citygarden in 2021, they figured that it would be ample space to accommodate downtown diners in search of a healthy-leaning lunch. Fortunately, they were wrong: They quickly outgrew the space and decided to move to a larger footprint with floor-to-ceiling windows at Peabody Plaza (701 Market), rebranding the concept UKRAFT Brunch Cafe on Kiener Plaza.

LFCS is expanding its services in Kansas City
The Lutheran Family and Children’s Services of Missouri (LFCS), founded in 1868 and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, plans to expand its services in Kansas City. When LFCS arrived in Kansas City in late 2022, it set up a temporary office at Peace Lutheran Church located at 8240 Blue Ridge Blvd. Now, one of Missouri’s oldest statewide social services agencies is moving to a new office space located at 1 East Armour Boulevard. This space was chosen due to its central location that allows for easy access by public transportation. The office opened this month with plans for an open house in September.

Evening Notes: Perunovich, Condors, Trivigno
St. Louis Blues defenseman Scott Perunovich seems set up for a make-or-break season, after spending the first three years of his pro career dealing with what seemed like neverending injuries. Forced absences have held Perunovich to just 73 appearances, and 23 assists, through his entry-level contract. But despite what’s seemed like years of bad luck in St. Louis, Perunovich shared with Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic that he wouldn’t want to play anywhere else. He said, “I want to succeed in the league, but the team I want to succeed with the most is St. Louis… They drafted me. Every other team looked over me and they’ve always had confidence in me. This is where I want to succeed, and I’ve never not thought that for a second.”

This struggling ace may be the perfect fit for the Cardinals at the trade deadline
The St. Louis Cardinals have already been linked to several starting pitchers at this year's trade deadline, including Nathan Eovaldi, Zach Eflin, and Yusei Kikuchi. In their search for a fifth starter, they may be shopping at the top of the market for starting pitchers with one or two years of control left. With a Wildcard currently spot in hand, the Cardinals may act uncharacteristically aggressive, with a solid team needing just a few tweaks to compete in a very weak National League. I broke down a few of these trade targets with Josh Jacobs on the Dealin' the Cards Podcast this past week.
