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.

It is almost as if one cannot take more than a handful of steps without encountering art in Kansas City. This random encounter appears on the side of Surreal Tattoo Studio in Mid-Town near State Line.  Either I missed capturing the artists name, or it was not included.

It was all about the Deere this weekend, climbing on them, walking under them, and admiring their shiny coats at the Western Farm Show in Kansas City. It was not just all about John Deere, I suppose. They did have the biggest display in the building though, and nobody was shy about climbing aboard for a look around.  That was the intent after all.  Two huge halls contained a variety of technology and work equipment, while another two areas showcased an array of odds and ends in support of, and dedicated to everyday farm and ranch life, to include a few goats.

A journey down to the Benton County Courthouse for some business in Warsaw found this one-of-a-kind piece lingering about the inside the historic building.  Produced by Warsaw South students to show their respect for the US flag and all those that stand to protect the same.  The assemblage of a multitude of red, white, and blue plastic bottle caps is interesting, though does not indicate any sort of production date.
