Mrs. O'Leary's has been located in the heart of Old Town since 1992 and was one of the first retail businesses in the area. They started with a 100 year old boarded up warehouse and spent months, day and night, to bring out it's beauty by scraping off floors, pulling out old wiring, erecting walls, and sandblasting layers of paint from the bricks to reveal the walls' original glory.
Named for the story of Mrs. O'Leary's cow and the song lyrics, "it's a hot time in the old town tonight...fire, fire, fire". Starting primarily as a gifts and collectibles store, Mrs. O'Leary's has evolved into an eclectic arts store where you can find just that product you need to make your project special. The crew at Mrs. O'Leary's is knowledgeable and always willing to help you with the information and/ or products you need to create and explore. Weekly classes and demos are a great way to learn new skills or just have fun with friends.
Connected to Mrs. O'Leary's building is Old Town's outdoor seasonal club, The Brickyard. The building that used to occupy the space The Brickyard does now at one time had a wooden interior. However, it burnt out about twenty years ago and created the closure which is now known as "The Brickyard". The Brickyard features dining, drinking, dancing and live music from local and touring musicians. More info

WDDC's workshop on April 17, 2012 with Peter Kageyama, author For the Love of Cities challenged attendees to create an idea to improve the City with only $500. WDDC funded the top three ideas. From Wichita with Love being one of them. The project's idea is to send a postcard to a band, business or friend you wish was in Wichita. The receiver will post a photo of themselves with the postcard to the social media accounts of From Wichita With Love. The first postcard design is out and is available at many Downtown locations. For more information (and to see where these postcards are starting to go around the world) check out the following links:
