Douglas Design District Podcast Douglas Design District

This month on the podcast, Renee sat down with Andrew Gough from Reverie Roasters and Jordan Walker from Greteman Group to have a conversation about the Business Improvement District for the DDD. Specifically, the trio raises questions that they’ve been hearing from businesses, and tried to dispel confusion, misinformation, and flat-out rumors that has been going around. This podcast will be especially helpful to street front business and property owners in the DDD, but is packed with information for anyone who is interested in what the BID is about. Listen in!

This month we got together in College Hill to chat with artists Maggie Gilmore and Delilah Reed about creating art, the complexities (and fun!) of large-scale murals, and why public art and beautification projects are important for artists and the community. Don’t miss out on this conversation as we ramp up for our mural-palooza with Avenue Art Days later this month. Happy listening!

June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month and so we decided to sit down with the Alzheimer’s Association of Central & Western Kansas to chat about the advocacy, awareness and events they have planned for the entire month. Included in the conversation we specifically talk about how small businesses, artists, and the Association have teamed up to raise money & inspire hope in our local community. Just another way the Design District gives back to Wichita; don’t miss this conversation!

This month on the podcast, we sat down with District 1 Councilmember Brandon Johnson to chat about his life in Wichita, his decision to run for local office, and what business districts like the DDD can bring to the community. Take a listen to this compelling conversation about public/private partnerships, what local government can do better to support small business owners, and how you can get engaged. Definitely an episode that will make you say #ILoveWichita.
