The Photo Booth Scene in Kansas City
Kansas City doesn't make a lot of noise about its photo booth scene, which is exactly why it's worth paying attention to. The city's 4 verified machines are spread across two neighborhoods that define KC's current cultural identity: the Crossroads Arts District and the River Market. What's distinctive about Kansas City's booths is their range of contexts — from a beloved ice cream shop to a craft brewery to an independent music venue to a vintage flea market. The Classic Photo Booth Co. of Salt Lake City installed a custom vintage-style booth at Betty Rae's Ice Cream in the River Market, fitting the scoop shop's retro aesthetic with a 1960s Hollywood design. Across the city in the Crossroads, Brewery Emperial's beer garden has a booth for the weekend crowd, and RecordBar — Kansas City's best independent music venue — keeps one running alongside its vinyl-heavy programming. The Westport Flea Market, a Kansas City institution on the west side, rounds it out with a cash-only machine that's been there longer than anyone can remember. None of these booths perform nostalgia. They're just part of the furniture in places where people actually want them.
