## Resource

Pump It Up, the beloved Overland Park kids’ party spot, has shut down after 20 years — a bittersweet end to an era as rising rents and newer entertainment trends made survival tough. Owner Seth Freiden, also behind family toy brand Constructive Playthings, called it a relief to step away, even as he keeps his legacy alive through the enduring toy business. Families will miss the laughs, but memories of those birthday blowouts? Those’ll last forever. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
