I got my husband to join me and help me with mapping today. We went from approx. State Line Road in KC on 43rd St (we think of it as 43rd though there is a stretch that’s Westport Rd) and down to the west end of it just beyond Mission.

We went to Sway Coffee Roasters and had a nice cup of coffee/tea, and got to say hello to some sweet dogs that another customer brought with them. The dogs visited everyone within leash distance and everyone seemed happy to see them. Little random encounters are what make me love the city so much.

My plan next is to visit the stretch of 43rd east of Gillham Park, and to touch some of the “nodes” I skipped over when going along the length of it, like St Luke’s and various parks etc.
