That's a lot of wood.

Kansas Citians who still live there, don't let me down -- where do we think this is in town??

Technically Leawood around 95th and Mission. Such a beige part of the city when she could get a more interesting midcentury house on Ward Parkway.

Oh, thanks! And *snore*. You could absolutely find a cooler place near WP. If I wanted to move home (which I don't), I feel like I would love to find a little Brookside or Waldo house.

My dream house is a little Tudor cottage in Waldo. We’re on the KS side for the schools though.

Right, that's something I unfortunately don't have to worry about, but for sure if I had kids and had to move home I'd be on the KS side. Maybe Westwood? Prairie Village, but near the shops? Near old Overland Park? I just couldn't be past like 103rd street.

I’m near Westwood. Northeastern Johnson County has some legit cool pockets. Honestly, past 75th is starting to get too far south for me. The only reason I go farther south is for my favorite board game store and Korean food lol

I grew up in Prairie Village and I used to joke that nothing exists past 135th St, even if we were out there, because it's just SO FAR AWAY.
