While waiting to begin the adventure known as Saturday Night at the Grand Ole
Opry, we stopped in on this amusing little cultural feature at the Bavarian
Bierhaus.
Thinking of nothing more than a little food before the show, Karen & The Music Meister surprised us with a little cultural indulgence.
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.
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.
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.
This piece of work appeared out of nowhere, while out and about on a morning walk today. The multitude of balloons formed into an unsigned colorful expression roughly 2 meters tall and as much wide lingered just inside the doorway. A substantial amount of work undoubtedly went into wrangling these air-filled rubber containers into the variety of flowers and undergrowth on display.
Another scene by the notorious "Scribe" lay lurking on the Genessee side of Fric & Frac, just south of 39th Street. The usual Buzz Bee appears here, hovering over a jam box, watching the hipster watch a schoolgirl bunny watching them as she walks away. All appeared perfectly under the dappled light from a nearby shade tree, screening out an other wise bright sunny morning.
