Michigan retailer State & Liberty has opened on the Country Club Plaza.

Before Steven Fisher and Lee Moffie founded the company in 2015, they could not find a dress shirt to fit their athletic build. “Slim Fit” dress shirts were too tight, “Standard Fit” shirts too boxy around the waist. They spent years researching athletic body types before creating their “Athletic Fit” dress shirt.

Their shops now offer dress shirts and pants, suits, linen blazers, winter coats, button-downs, crew necks, T-shirts, jackets, hoodies, tuxedos, belts, socks, cuff links and more.

They have 21 stores in 13 states and Toronto. The founders met in Ann Arbor and named their company after a popular downtown intersection there — State and Liberty.

The new Kansas City store is in the former Kate Spade space at 321 Nichols Road.

Harris camp responds to Trump telling Christians they 'don't have to vote again' if he gets elected
As former President Donald Trump wrapped his nearly 75-minute speech on Friday night, he delivered a final pitch to the Christian conservative crowd, saying if they vote for him on Election Day, they would never be obligated to vote again. "I don't care how, but you have to get out and vote," Trump said at Turning Point Action's Believers Summit in West Palm Beach. The Harris campaign is characterizing Trump's comment that if Christians vote this one time they won't have to do it anymore as a "vow to end democracy."

Teen left wheelchair-bound due to painful condition dubbed "suicide disease"
A once-active teen has been left wheelchair-bound after spontaneously developing a painful condition dubbed "suicide disease". Izzy Clements, 14, had just started in year eight when she found herself experiencing headaches and sickness - which grew so severe she lost 10kg in two weeks. Doctors couldn't work out what was wrong for months - then Izzy, a once-keen gymnast, dancer and horse rider, grew weaker and began suffering with leg pain. The teen, from Leicester, had to drop out of school and ended up in a wheelchair due to the constant pain that was so severe it would even cause panic attacks. Eventually doctors questioned if she had complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) - dubbed the "suicide disease" as the pain has previously driven patients to attempt to take their own lives.
