S ometimes one doesn’t have to go far to find a good “vintage” story. In the case of Pam Newton, it was right out front the VintageKC office door at the iWerx facility in North Kansas City. We couldn’t help noticing how the furnishings at the entrepreneurial center were not the usual drab, cold, hard-mental fixtures some labeled modern accouterments. The furnish- ings were varied, colorful, never duplicated and inviting. We made some inquiries at iWerx. A creative and warm hand was at work; thus our cover feature story for this issue. Drive east of Kansas City on Highway 24 and one will find Lexington, MO. I’ve been there many times and will keep going back. It’s one of my favorite towns in the state. Lexington and history are synonymous. Stately 19th century homes line some of its streets, a Civil War battle site notes the shifting loyalties and losses of family during that turbulent era, and the Big MO lumbers by just down the hill from a quaint downtown. With its upcom- ing Historic Homes Tour coming up, we had to feature the town. Finding ‘vintage’ everywhere

This issue also features two prominent local makers, visits to vintage soda fountains, Maggie’s DIY column, tips of how to have a fun fall picnic and more.
We hope you enjoy this issue. It’s already one of my favorites.
