A perfect day in Kimmswick, MO with my sister Cathy ☀️
First stop: the NEW home of Crabby Sandy’s Emporium on Front Street. 🦀 This shop is all about supporting local artists, and the owner is a friend of Cathy’s – everyone is so excited! Swipe to see a few of the amazing items they have. 👉
But here’s something you need to know before you drive through town… 🚗⚠️
Visitors (mostly women, sometimes with kids) walk right in the middle of the street. Not on the sidewalk. They chat, they stop, they have full conversations in the road. And they will NOT move for cars. I’m not kidding. Drive slow and keep your eyes open. 😅
That said, Kimmswick is charming. Old homes, Mississippi River views, locally-owned restaurants with incredible food. You’ve heard of the Blue Owl (yes, their pies are legendary), but every place here is good – some even have live music.
Today was sunny, mild breeze, pure magic. Go explore. And definitely hit up Crabby Sandy’s first!
