..as part of the CHS Greenhouse project. (Sorry--sound quality is kind of poor on this but it's still fairly entertaining!)
This morning Tulips on Troost and Center High School welcomed Stan Slaughter, "Eco-Troubador", to teach us about worms and composting! It was an exciting session. Afterwards, we continued in the greenhouse with Steve Jenks to plant several more flats of seeds.
I noticed this post from Bon Bon Atelier today, and felt it fit right in with Tulips on Troost's ideas for relatively unconventional beautification. Anyone want to get on this project? ;)
It's not too late to sign up to attend the Southtown After Hours Business Exchange on Tuesday, March 2 from 5-7pm at Alphapointe. See more about it in this video and email me if you want to attend and represent your business.
This week's Pitch features an article by Carolyn Szczepanski on one of the major obstacles to revitalization East of Troost. Read here.
Here at www.troostavenue.com, we're going to begin highlighting new businesses that come to Troost Avenue (and probably some old ones, too!). We at Tulips on Troost believe that one of the major misconceptions that Kansas City residents have is that Troost Avenue has nothing for them. We hope to counter that perception with these occasional posts about opportunities for consumers on the Avenue. So here goes....
3402 Troost Avenue Kansas City, Missouri 64109 816-531-6767 Locally owned and operated, Craig H. Carlock recognized a need for a barbershop that caters to the 21st Century customer, who is more conscious of their appearance and expects more from their barbershop. So he decided to create a barbershop where customers get all that and more. While waiting to be serviced, customers will have the opportunity to relax in comfortable chairs, watch HDTV, pass time browsing through magazines or enjoy a game of pool. We also have snack and soda machines for our customer’s convenience. Barbershop 67 is conveniently located in midtown and is easily accessible using public transportation (KCATA). If you would like to have your business highlighted on troostavenue.com, please contact Maureen at maureen@tulipsontroost.com |
