I picked up a really cool business assignment last week at Dawson’s Shoe Repair. The store has been around since 1956, and Bob Wood, the man who runs it now, is the third-generation owner of the store. I’d always wanted to go in there and check it out when I was a grad student at MU, but never did for some reason. Now, I finally had my chance.
I also really enjoyed T.J. Greaney’s story. A good read on a Saturday morning.
I always wondered about that shop too.
I’m curious to know if he’s ever been photographed by a photo-j student before. He is after all the closest business to Lee Hills Hall — surely some lazy student on deadline passed through there once before on assignment.
Or, students could have intentionally shied away and ignored the store for that very reason; to not appear lazy and pick the lowest-hanging fruit.
