Made in the Middle

I don't know about y'all, but I have been anxiously awaiting the debut of Tad Carpenter's passion project, Made in the Middle. And yesterday Tad finally released it to the world!  It most definitely did not disappoint either. Made in the Middle is all about celebrating the makers that live (and lived) in Kansas City.Even though the site is very area-specific, there is a lot to be enjoyed by everyone else not living in KC. With the goal of Made in the Middle is to showcase creatives living in KC, the site does this in multiple ways. One, you can search by makers. Each maker is featured with a wonderful interview about their process, profession and why they love where they live. Two, you can shop incredible well designed products made just for KC fans and residents. And three, you can scroll through a truly interesting timeline of all the creativity that came through or started in KC since the late 1800's.What a neat way to celebrate the talent in an area, and hopefully bring more business there way! I always love to see people like Tad Carpenter, supporting their hometown. I have moved around so much that it makes me envious of people who have a ton of hometown pride. So go take a look at Made in the Middle and discover some truly talented folks and learn a bit about a cool city.
