The EDC has opened new offices in One Kansas City Place, 17th Floor, 12th & Main.  This is right down the street from where Harry Truman opened as a haberdasher in 1920, then closed a year later, bankrupt and in debt for what would be about $250,000 in today’s currency.  That’s got nothing to do with the EDC, I just like telling the story.  And anyway Harry paid back all the jack–even though it took him 15 years.  But I digress…

Leopold was chosen as art consultant for the EDC; a very nice honor.  These shots show some of the works we installed.  We’re also planning an exhibition for high school artists from University Academy, the same kids I took on the field trip last week (photos below).

The exhibition will take place on 3/8, during the grand opening.  I expect the gig to be a mob scene.  I’ll be there.  I understand the bourbon will be free.
