Per BM: Dave Wagner was an OP, KS native who went to NY & worked with Lydia & her first Restaurant. He convinced Lydia to put her first Restaurant outside NYC in KC in the Freight House District. He was the first GM. ... And Lydia’s today in KC still a wonderful Restaurant!

While tidying up the Urban Core Group historical calendar, I stumbled upon one of UCG's earliest events (almost the beginning of our group) which was when we were at ANNe'S Lofts 27 years ago this month. <3 I'm sure Marion Wheeler was there, RIP. :(

Per DG: I was there with y’all. Jason Johntz was the brilliant young fireball developer of Anne’s Lofts and this was one of his very rare public appearances. And yes, Marion was there too.
