From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 24, 1989:

A change was in store for the Exchange City program, an economics education program well known to many local schoolchildren. For the past several years, the satellite program had been hosted by Leavenworth in the fall and by Lawrence in the spring, using different buildings each year. This spring, the program had been set up in the former All Star Dairy Building on McDonald Drive. Two permanent sites for the program were now being set up in the Kansas City, Mo., area, one at the Crittenton Child and Family Development Center in southeast Kansas City, and the other on the Penn Valley Community College campus. “We’ll miss coming to Lawrence,” said program director Natalie Barge. “I love the city, and the Chamber of Commerce and businesses have been very supportive.” Exchange City taught fifth-graders basic economic principles and usually hosted a group of students for a day-long exercise in which the students drew up budgets, held “jobs,” and kept track of profits and losses.
