In case you missed it... Downtown Kansas City’s transformation, which started twenty years ago, is not the passive result of forces beyond our control, but rather the product of strategic decisions, local leadership, and investments that shape our new vision. Anonymous location data from mobile devices provided by Placer indicates attendance at Downtown’s performing arts venues, museums, and entertainment districts has rebounded substantially over the past three years with year-to-date attendance in 2023 ranging from 70% to more than 100% of 2019 volumes.

Born in ’74. Reimagined for 2024. To celebrate their first 50 years as a club, Sounders Sounders partnered with Column to refresh the crest and accompanying identity system as they look to the next 50. Reimagining such a precious piece of Seattle history presented a unique and perilous challenge. To begin the process we wanted to be sure we were asking the important questions. Space Needle or no Space Needle? What is essential? What is authentic? How can it be more functional? Can an orca take the place of the Needle? What about Mt. Rainier? What do we do about the colors? Can Rave Green feel more “Rave-like”? What will the fans think? Does it even need to be changed? After relentless exploration, rounds of review, checks and balances, we arrived at a solution. A thoughtful and streamlined evolution of the previous mark. At its core, the crest is decorated with a contemporary depiction of the city’s iconic Space Needle, flanked on each side by the club’s birth year. With the intention of standing triumphantly for the next 50 years, this mark’s posture is striking and powerful as it reflects the Sounders commitment to the city, its fans, the game, and to the world it inhabits.

The idea that our transactions and consumer engagement shouldn't be detached from our values, relationships, or community, but instead complimented by those important things, is certainly the way forward for our economy. We've been immeasurably blessed by the small business owners on our site. They have inspirational stories to tell and high-quality products to sell, so we're always looking for additional ways to showcase them. With that, we at PublicSquare are proud to announce the launch of 'PublicSquare Live'. PublicSquare Live is a QVC-style live shopping experience where we interview business owners, share exclusive discounts on their products, provide an opportunity for consumers to ditch the big box retailers, and shift consumer spending to family-owned and operated, high-quality vendors. While envisioning how best to execute this exciting initiative, I met the legendary Erin Elmore, Esq. a former long-time QVC host, current TV personality, and devoted patriot. She was immediately drawn to the vision and decided it would be a great use of her skillset to jump 'all in' and launch this with us. On top of that, when RealAmericasVoice heard about this, they stepped up and offered to host the show on air for their millions of viewers (A huge shoutout to Rob Sigg and the team over there! They do fantastic work.) You can view the first episode that aired this past Saturday evening on Real America's Voice at the link in this post, and I'll link a PR in the comment section that describes this initiative in greater detail if you're interested in learning more. We're saving the country through the power of commerce and we'd love it if you join us. Onward and upward! https://lnkd.in/eYJ6pC3X

Looking back to when I opened my first venue, a 200 year-old coaching inn, I didn't take a strategic view of the best use of my space and I suspect I am not the only landlady or business owner to do so, yet it is so important. This week's blogs talks about some of the dilemmas I faced when I realised that space = revenue! #hospitalitymanagement #pubs #strategicuseofspace #profit #increasedrevenue
