Friends at The Archives

This past Thursday we were honored to talk about our book at the National Archives in Kansas City. What a great staff, facility and resource. Kimberlee did a wonderful job of coordinating and promoting the event. Dee and the staff created a beautiful "just for the evening" display. Peggy at The Kansas City Store located onsite was also a pleasure to work with.

We got to see many friends from UMKC, Rockhurst University, Roeland Park UMC and the KC Modern group. We enjoyed meeting associates and customers of Harzfeld's and heard some great reminiscing. Thanks to all that attended.

Today's Links

A new collaboration including locally owned boutiques have a new space in the Power and Light District. The Garment District Boutique offers fashions and accessories in a location just two blocks south of where Sieg Harzfeld started the Parisian Cloak Company in the early 1890s. It's exciting to see retail returning to downtown Kansas City.
