Tulips on Troost: Glamour In Amsterdam, Glamour At Home

Tulips on Troost aims to change the face of Troost Avenue by planting one million tulips along the Avenue in honor of an early Kansas City leader, Dr. Benoist Troost. Through this mission, we hope to inspire and motivate the citizens of Kansas City to recognize the value of neighborhood capital improvements and beautification in some of the city's most under-served neighborhoods. Tulips are just on the surface—our deep-rooted goal is to use a beautiful, accessible thing like a tulip to represent positive change on Troost and to let the city know that Troost is worth our time, efforts, and resources.

If you trace the origins of the tulip, you'll discover it first grew in the barren, windswept mountains of central Asia. By the 1630's it had found its way to the Netherlands where it found a citizenry with remarkable promotional talents and because of it, Tulipomania became a part of the world's history. The Dutch mania for tulips continues, in no small way, right up to today.

But, it seems that tulips are not the only "crazy good" promotion that get the Dutch people excited and this Amsterdam Glamour Stiletto Run certainly made us smile a bit.

This local KC Stiletto Event promises to be a lot of fun too, and it also happens to be something you can do for the benefit of your community.

And stay out of your spouse's closet, guys. Two good benefit stores (where you're sure to find your perfect pumps) are The Junior League Resale Boutique and City Union Mission Thrift Shop.
