Po's Dumpling Bar

Po's Dumpling Bar is owned by Po and Rita Hwang. Both grew up in Taiwan and met as young adults when Rita worked at Po's father's noodle shop and Po tutored Rita in math.

A romance ensued. When Po and Rita came to America, Po worked as an areonautical engineer and Rita started a resturant using Po's family dumpling recipe.

"My father was a great cook. Taiwan men love to cook. I didn't inherit this love. I love to eat, and Rita loves to cook."

Today Po is retired from aeronautical engineering and greets everyone who comes in the resturant.

"All our food is made fresh daily. Our veggies are cooked at 1800 degrees to make them crisp on the outside but soft on the inside. It seals in the vitamins," said Po.

"Our dumplings are made from my father's recipe. All our broth is a made from a combination of fresh vegtables daily. This broth compliments our vegitarian and meat dishes."

In addition to fine food Po serves water, wine, beer, and Polyneasian mixed drinks that add a joyful flavor to any meal you choose.

"Come try my wife's cooking. I know you will love it, "said Po.

Big Dude's Music City

Big Dude's is the professionals' and the garage musicians' hangout. Here they happily play and are encouraged by the Big Dude's staff to try any musical tool on the walls or floors of the famous music store. Everyone is welcome to play the tools of their trade at their leisure. Big Dude's opened nearly 50 years ago by Mark Dodd's father. Mark keeps the family business running smooth as Kansas City's premier music shop.

When Mark worked the counter as a boy, musicians would ask, "Hey, where's the Big Dude?" So when Mark took over the business after his father suffered a stroke, he called it "Big Dude's Music City" to recognize the music store's founder. Music stores come and music stores go in Kansas City, but the "Dude" abides as a busy fun place to take an instrument off the wall, and play. The entire staff are professional musicians who help, fix and support beginners and professionals in their pursuit of the musical dream.

The "Dude's" instruments range from high end Martin's to squiers for beginners. From small, one person studio's, to sound systems big enough to broadcast at professional baseball stadiums, "Dude's" has the system. There's nothing more pleasant than spending a late afternoon at the Dude's when the professional musicians come in to practice before their evening gigs. You can walk into one room and listen to a person playing a Martin guitar, another and listen to a drummer, another and listen to a pro belt out his song over a studio sound system. If you're ever in KC, spend a late afternoon at Big Dudes.

A great example of finding your voice is the Ray Charles story. He won a recording contract with Atlantic records. While playing in the studio, the president of Atlantic records came out of the booth and stopped Ray.
He told Ray that he could always make decent money singing in a bar. "You sound like Nat King Cole. There already is a Nat King Cole. You will never be a star unless you find your own voice. "
Ray immediately started playing his own music to the Atlantic records president. He became a legend in American music history.

At the Roasterie

We come to the Roasterie, Kansas City's independently owned coffee shop in an area called Brookside. Brookside gives the feel of downtown American circa 1910. It was when much of the Brookside area was developed, and it has kept it's independence. There are no chain stores or restaurants on the main strip in Brookside. Each shop is owned by a family that lives within 4 blocks of the Brookside shops. The homes were built during the turn of the century, and the area continued to be developed through the mid 1920's.

This is our favorite office to brainstorm on creative advertising for television, radio, print, blogs, and the web. A cup of coffee or glass water sets next to our computer. It reminds me of working on a newspaper as a cub reporter--friends around the table laughing and creating to the noise of the newsroom. It is comforting and free, as we were in our youth. There are no accountant Gestapo's watching us to make sure we sit down at 8:00 am sharp, and no arrogant boss lording over us as if he owned our life.

Here we are free. Here we prepare our battle plan for the day--Jimmy the kid and the Professor.

We create and enjoy each moment. When we look from our work we watch the beautiful human scenery. Men and women laughing together. College couples holding hands. Loved ones pushing baby carriages. Businessmen and women sharing coffee as they meet on the day's work. Offices are obsolete.
