Hunger demanded increasing attention today, while passing along 39th Street near KU Medical Center.  Noticing a few options not previously recognized, a spot for parking on the street quickly opened its arms.   Noon found not many spots.  Tiki Taco was the spot that had actually caught attention.  It turned out to be a super friendly and delectable choice, also offering some appealing and intriguing skateboard art displays.  This may just be the best place in the area to grab a quick mouthful of deliciousness.

39 west scribe

No other image stands out along West 39th better than this amazing bit of graffiti art, instantly recognizable as one from local artist "Scribe."  Completed in 2014, it is holding up really well for 20 years old.  This huge mural is always a welcome greeting to the tiny little district that straddles the state line.  If they ever replace this, it should definitely be another piece from KC's own Scribe.

  Wandering through the Power & Light District yesterday found this relatively new mural issuing a commandment to the citizens of Kansas City.  No artist appeared credited and the artwork itself is minimal and a bit flat, thought the message is clear.  Be Kind Kansas City.  You know you want to and there are some amazing side effects, such as improved self-esteem, relationships, reduced stress and anxiety, and even a boost in physical health on numerous fronts.  More than anything, it is the right thing to do.

  Branson is quite the music and entertainment city, with some resident performances lasting more than 50 years.  Pierce Arrow has been putting on their little schtick for 25 years, promising award-winning comedy and music by "an electrifying band."  Recently, they changed venues from their old theater under the same name, to that of Reza Theater.  That is where we caught up with their act, after some friends offered up tickets. They turned out a relatively good production, for an intimate Monday afternoon gig, during Spring Break week.  Very likely, it not same performance audiences typically witness on a Saturday night during peak season.  The tour through the decades offered up some genuinely good music, performed very well, though missed a few points.  The 1980s and 1990s were entirely omitted from the agenda, and 1960s almost completely ignored the flower children. The narrator was awesome, stirring giggles from everyone in the room, particularly ...

arkansas imca spring nationals

The packed clay and red dirt oval near Batesville has been on the radar for a couple of years now.  Excursions to the area seemed as though they were never timed correctly, or other plans interfered with a proper examination of the situation.  Not this time, somewhat.  Wires got crossed and what was thought to have started one day, actually kicked off the date after.  That did not make Thursday any less interesting though, as it enabled an opportunity to catch the warm-up acts, before the main feature on Friday. The stands were not as packed as had been anticipated, though we were assured that would not be the case later in the season.  The Wimp Reed Arkansas IMCA Racing Spring Nationals at Batesville Motor Speedway put on an awesome show though! The rumble seat for this venture featured multiple rounds of IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars, Factory Stocks, Midwest Modifieds, Hobby Stock, and Young Guns.  The later proved the most surprising overall, with...
