Visited @countryclubplaza last weekend for the annual Thanksgiving night lighting. So many beautiful Sevilla-esque towers!
It’s always interesting (and groovy) at @hakaarsbazaar on Commercial.
Art, art and more art at the Kansas City Plaza Art Fair 2022
We visited the Gordon Parks Museum at @fortscottcc last weekend in Fort Scott, Kansas. It’s a small space but chock full (maybe too full) of Parks’ monumental photos from his “American Gothic” to Muhammad Ali’s hands, to his iconic fashion photos. Also: an exhibit of replica furnishings from his New York City apartment, his writing desk, and more about his amazing career as a photographer, poet, director (Shaft, The Learning Tree) and author. He was born in Fort Scott in 1912, had an amazing international career and now rests in peace in Evergreen Cemetery just south of town. An American Treasure. #gordonparks #gordonparksfoundation #photography #fortscott #travel
Francie and the 35-foot tall fork in Chesterfield Village. This is either the world’s largest or second-largest fork, according to my five-second Google search. Whatever. I remember this being around the original Churchill’s Coffee building on S. Glenstone several years ago. Much harder to find now, as it’s tucked away in Chesterfield. #417 #dogs #publicart #springfieldmo
Was just watching “Begin Again” with all the great scenes shot around NYC, including one at Bethesda Terrace in Central Park that @_katherineyung and I visited on our awesome trip in March 2019. Ahhh… memories!
