A Sunday Drive with Camera Plus

Yesterday, the mister and I found ourselves in downtown Kansas City with some time to burn.  For those of you who are reading from afar, KC has gone through a little bit of a renaissance over the last few years.  Buildings have been razed, neighborhoods have blossomed and the downtown community has really begun to thrive again.  It’s such a welcome change for everyone who lives in the metro.
Sundays tend to be a little quiet downtown, as it’s still heavily populated by commuters during the week.  Many businesses are closed on Sundays.  The lack of traffic gave us the freedom to drive around and stalk gawk slowly pass by some of the places we were interested in without getting honked at by drivers in a rush to get somewhere else.  We ended up in the Westside neighborhood of KC and had a little lunch at the Westside Local.  Before we walked in, we spied a darling little snow cone food truck across the street.  Even though it was a little chilly (in the 50’s) we decided we’d make a stop after lunch.
All I can say was I am sooooo glad we did!  One trip and I’m hooked.  We’re about 35 minutes from downtown, but these snow cones are so worth the drive.  The owner, Lindsey, makes all of the syrups from scratch and they are all natural.  (Yes, look at these colors.  All from nature, nothing artificial!  Mother Nature, you a good lady.)
Clockwise from top: mango ginger, blackberry lavender, pineapple serrano chile, lemon prickly pear.

I only had my iPhone with me yesterday, but I tried to snap a few photos.  I used Camera+ to edit these while we were driving to our next stop.  If you haven’t checked out this app yet… do.  It’s 99 cents and probably one of the best apps I’ve ever purchased. Not bad for iPhone pictures… I think?
Lindsey’s super cute business cards and promo placards.  She was also featured in a new food truck book.

Fresher Than Fresh’s Menu:

A charming little spot to enjoy your treat.
 
Fresher Than Fresh serves snow cones every Sunday at 17th and Summit from May 1 – Octoberish.  Lucky us we got to see her on opening day!  She also serves in front of her other business, Hammerpress, on First Fridays.
