“The Curious Items and Strange Artifacts,” of Just Colcord, the first museum exhibition of the RAW artist, opened in March at the Toy and Miniature Museum of Kansas City, 5235 Oak St., and runs through June 9, 2013. Colcord explores the streets of Kansas City for discarded treasure to transform into characters with elaborate stories— a robot or a wizard with a miniature lair. Each creation evolves from the trash of others, repurposed and reborn into a new lifecycle.

Theodis WatsonI am extremely optimistic about my new role as president of the Southtown Council. When the community voted me into this position, not only was I honored but I felt a sense of responsibility to serve. I have lived, worked, and patronized businesses in the area for more than 25 years and look forward to the bright future of Southtown.

During my tenure, I plan to accomplish three goals: 1) Finalize the process for the Community Improvement District, 2) Obtain more engagement within our small businesses in Southtown; and 3) Create opportunities to partner with area business and neighborhood associations to leverage resources that could assist with the development of our community.

Troost Complete Auto ServiceYou can’t help but notice the many outstanding improvements made to the Troost Complete Auto Service building, 6130 Troost Ave. They have completed new stucco work on the front of the building including additional façade improvements. The newly installed signage package on the front of the building definitely catches your eye. Owner Shane Crees shared, “We are waiting for the snow to melt so we can complete new sidewalks, curbs and driveway approaches on the south end of our property. We also plan to add additional exterior lighting to create a more inviting and safer environment.”

Bier Station is a craft beer "tasting bar/bottle shop" now open at 120 E. Gregory Blvd. Craft beers and Import beers are offered at this “tasting bar/bottle shop” which is a blended pub/retail environment specializing in serving craft beer drafts for customers to enjoy on site just like a normal tavern, plus packaged craft beer bottles and cans that can be purchased and consumed on site -- or purchased "to go" like a specialty beer store. You can savor a craft beer in the comfort of a bar, or to take home and enjoy with friends.
