Studio 11 – Now Open
Studio 11 is now open at 11 E. 4th in downtown Emporia! I’ve followed their progress on Facebook, checked out the photos as they cleaned and painted this space. Many hours were spent spiffing it up – and Studio 11 opened on Thursday. So I stopped by today to take a look. This place is …
Studio C
