KC Condo Tracker

If your life is feelin' a little blah this summer, get creatively juiced by eyeballin' today's photo spread of the top lofts in Kansas City. Dan Leap's Hell's Kitchen and Joseph Lino's Darth Vader bathroom are personality rich. And even the blander shots still put most beige suburban home interiors to shame.

According to the book I'm reading, The Emotional House, our spreads should elevate our moods and stimulate our souls. The Kansas City loft finalist are living on high voltage.

Yesterday AJ and I toured 14 thirsty future urbanites through a dozen plus Kansas city condos and lofts with a full cooler of libations and soft drinks. By the end of the humid day, the margaritas and beer were gone and Nate, James, Nick and Bren, John, Laronda, Julie, Paul, Allison and her husband were ready for some food and dinner conversation to digest all that they saw at Riverbend, The View, Piper, Windows Freighthouse, 21 Ten, Plaza West, Holly Gardens and the Metropolitan.

We had a few hiccups during the day like not being able to get into Soho Lofts because the lockbox had been stolen or having to wait 15 mintues to get into the Ebenezer Building because the lockbox keys didn't work, but other than that it was smooth sailing (minus me taking a short cut up a one-way street).  I hope quinch your loft and condo thirst at the next urban tour caravan, Sunday, August 26th from Noon to 3 PM.
