Garment Museum and Downtown Library

Today I had one purpose, the Garment District Museum.  It opens at 11, Thursday and Fridays.  I have been trying to get in here since November 2023.


At 11:10 I gave up.  I walked about to my car and a lady was yelling at me.
She was late.  Finally I got in.


The museum is very small.  It's also about to move to the Kansas City Museum.


They only have about 20 things out.

I wanted to visit this place so bad and after I did I was so disappointed.  The lady said by next summer they will be set up in the new location.

I was so close to the downtown library I went to explore it.  I have been there before but did not explore.  This time I went to 5 of the 6 floors.  I went to the basement before to see the vault.

The 1st floor has a gallery.  The current exhibit is called Fictions by Andrea Burgay.

I'm not sure what she does but it's all on the book cover.


Interesting

2nd floor - Has a gallery and the Children's Library.


Neat chair

Just look at the views.

I'm so glad I went back to the library.  I missed so much the first time.  I'm much braver now.

No new updates on the handyman.  So rude.  I have planned out everything in my mind.  I don't need the wall now.  I want so badly to make this place mine.  I did at first and then started downsizing even more.  

Until tomorrow.

Wine Tasting

 Really out of my comfort zone but tonight I went a wine tasting.   The HOA president told me about it last Friday. I walk to the end of the...
