Week #13, Lamar’s Donuts
I headed out in the slushy snow Sunday morning for a donut. A friend had suggested two bakeries, one in North Kansas City and one just across the river.

Week #12, Ridgewood Donuts

As we parked in front, John pointed out a little something seemed awry with their storefront window (see pic). Not only was the brick crumbling, insulation…
