Lawrence delegation received warm welcome to Algeria as part of World Cup friendship

The last World Cup match in Kansas City was held nearly four months ago, but the positive feelings remain. Organizers have shared some bullish numbers about the impact locally, including 680,000 visitors to Kansas City and direct spending of $570 million during the World Cup. The goodwill created has certainly continued as England made a great impact on the citizens of Prairie Village, where the “Three Lions” had their base camp during the World Cup. And the friendship between Algeria and the city of Lawrence, which hosted the “Desert Foxes” during the tournament, has endured. The Algerian government invited a delegation from Lawrence to visit their country, and that contingent received a warm welcome Monday when they arrived. Among the members in the group are Lawrence Mayor Brad Finkeldei, police officers Dave Ernst and Meghan Bardwell, members of the University of Kansas community, including several members of the band, faculty and staff, and others.

Popular OP antique furniture booth moving to new Brookside shop: ‘Really beautiful'

A popular antique furniture and interior design store that was previously a booth inside a Johnson County antique mall, is moving to its own storefront this week. Hydrangea House , which has over 11,000 social media followers, opened inside the Glenwood Antique Mall at 9030 Metcalf Ave in Overland Park last year. Mother and daughter duo Jessica Carpenter and Abigail Gaughan initially got a 164-square-foot booth and quickly expanded to a 2,000-square-foot space to better serve shoppers looking for curated vintage furniture and carefully reupholstered couches and chairs. “We just want to sit and talk to people, and it’s really hard to do that in an antique mall. If you’ve ever tried, it’s very challenging to have a conversation with somebody and sit down with them and talk to them about their house,” said Gaughan, the owner of Hydrangea House. Carpenter, the Hydrangea House’s Chief Creative Officer, is an interior designer by trade. Customers regularly seek her advice on anything from basic interior design tips to what color to paint a house’s exterior. “We have somebody who drives from Iowa the first weekend of every month to come see us, and she’s just adorable,” she said. Gaughan and Carpenter came
