KSHB 41 News hosted its latest Let's Talk event Tuesday night, and we have Midtown Kansas City, Missouri, resident Rick Tolliver to thank.

It was an email Tolliver sent us a few weeks ago asking when we were going to host a Let's Talk event in his neighborhood.

"I think the sense of community in Midtown has gone downhill; I feel like it needs a lot of improvement," Tolliver said. "I think our police department is great. I love our mayor. I just feel that Midtown needs to be looked at."

Tolliver said he was optimistic that the new KC Streetcar Main Street Extension, which opened last month, would help draw more attention to his part of town.
