Here’s a challenge Cute and I set for ourselves: Thoroughly explore everything interesting within five miles. Since we live, not together of course, on 25th street between downtown and the Plaza, we figured it’d be easy. You can go to https://www.calcmaps.com/map-radius/#google_vignette and a huge area will pop up – set it to any milage you want. But I just learned this.
We’d opted for something simple, to go the City Market, always entertaining, for tomatoes. I was going to buy a watermelon, too, but I forgot my wagon and parking can be challenging down there. Anyway, we got several items and since Cute is gone for the next ten days and I for the week after, we proceeded cautiously. God forbid I should have too much healthy food on hand which would really cut into my peanut M&M addiction.
If you haven’t been to a farmers’ marker lately, do go. The produce is fresh(er) and there’s usually something entertaining for everyone. Go to a different one, maybe, like Ivanhoe, Brookside, or even Blue Springs (gasp). The most complete list I’ve found is this:
but I’m not guaranteeing ALL markets are listed there. While you’re out, hang around for breakfast or lunch from a truck, stall, or happy looking vendor.
Afterall,
It's summertime . . . and the living is you-know-what. Sorta, once you get past the parking.
