Prizes

Sometimes I get a little bit behind sending out our For the Love of KC prizes. As in a month behind. A big thank you to our prize winners for being very patient. For some reason, I pull out all the stops for our blog readers, hoping the something special we send brings a smile to your face. I love that our readers are not limited to Kansas City. These pilot maps were purchased at a recent garage sale and they make the best envelopes. The lining for the envelopes are old math notes from my high school algebra class.

Josh goes to a lot of bars and he recognized this one immediately.

the ones I took. Josh, I will be by First Friday to bring you something!

This is the most beautiful door to a Kansas City business.

Name the business - it's on a side street off a major thoroughfare.

send us a message via facebook or twitter @ELoungeKC.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This door is on the street west of Broadway that you have to jog over to, in order to make a left turn onto 39th Street. And just like Carlos Chaurand said in the comments, it's the George P. Reintjes building down from Mama's. Carlos, email us with your addy so we can send you a thank you gift for knowing your city!

This is embarrassing, but true. These pictures are of two different buildings.

They're both on Southwest Boulevard but on separate streets. So how big of a goof is that?

Pretty huge. No matter, Erica still figured it out, which is pretty amazing.

Erica, we'd love to send you a little something for playing, just email us your address!

It was my first time to this spot, but it wasn't a secret by any means. We saw plenty of pedestrians, 

cyclists and city workers when were there that day. Love all the different patinas and geometry.

This is The Town of Kansas Bridge. Everyone was super close, answering in the near vicinity.

David of The Hospitality Formula Network was exact, but since he won last time, we're spreading the love. We'd like to thank David for giving us a short history of the importance of the bridge. You can see more photos and read about it here. Erin Root answered first on facebook and beat streeturchin by five minutes. Erin, don't forget to send us your address. Thanks for playing everyone!

Another blogger meltdown this morning, but we're not going to let that

stop us. This is what you call a workaround! Give us your best guess.

David Hayden is this week's winner! You can probably find these exact teas or ones very similar at any number of the Asian markets in Kansas City, but we were at Chinatown Market in the River Market. There were a ton of other hilarious teas too, you can check them out for yourself in Aisle 2.
