resource-builder for the business community. And as of August of this year,
he is the new President of the Lee’s Summit Chamber. This is Dr. Blake Fry.

You read that right. This week is your opportunity to eat some wings and do
some good. Lee’s Summit attorney Chris Turney joins the show to talk about
his Wings 4 Water charity event taking place Thursday night in the parking
lot at Bridge Space in downtown Lee’s Summit. Before Jason and Nick get to
the wings, though, they talk a little about a proposed office development
in downtown Lee’s Summit and how the developer has made changes to the plan
based on feedback from area residents, property owners and other
stakeholders.

We're a day late with this week's episode. But we have a good reason. We
wanted to record live from a cool new development in town. Wednesday night,
Jason and Nick attended the launch party for the new Bridge Space Lee's
Summit. The downtown-based entrepreneurial hub and coworking space has been
the dream of local business owner Ben Rao for several years. This week, the
dream became reality. During the party, the duo grabbed Ben, and some of
the guests (including Mayor Bill Baird), to talk about the space and what
it could mean for the continued growth of the city.

City-based indie record label — Russian Winter Records. And he's probably a
familiar face for those frequenting downtown Lee's Summit's Farmers Market
and Fourth Friday Art Walk events. This is Ric Gordon.
