June 7, 2021  |    |  2 min read

The curiousKC team took a much-needed mental health break for Memorial Day but are back again with a couple of announcements. 

First up, the winner of the May 2021 voting round. After receiving more than 100 votes this month, our winning question is:

Suffice to say our team is working to answer this question so stay tuned for updates on Flatland’s Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts. If you’re an expert in this arena, please reach out to community reporter Vicky Diaz-Camacho by email: vdiaz-camacho@kansascitypbs.org or on Twitter @vickyd_c

Finally, here is this month’s new voting round. Which question will you pick? You have until July 2.
