The rivermarket neighborhood is a crazy quiet and safe neighborhood filled with life and residents that’s completely changed over from the bare bones, dilapidated section of town it was when I was in school at KCAI in the mid nineties.

I love having my studio so close to the City Market, it’s a great part of town, filled with friendly people and warm businesses that constantly reminds me of how much I love being in Kansas City. I spent most of the Royals’ playoff run celebrating with dollar victory shots at the Blue Line, Harry’s is always a welcome destination, Cascone’s Grill is just a fantastic breakfast/lunch spot with the best meatloaf in town, and Cellar and Loft has the most amazing meal/wine deals in the city, and has to be one of the best kept secrets in town.
