Where's MM?

So, my plans for a scathing and sarcastic Urban Blight post on the Independence avenue/ North East area have hit a snag. To be honest, Independence Avenue has never looked so good, which is not to say it isn't a cesspool, it is, however they have come a long way baby. So I'm giving them a pass, at least temporarily. If you need to blame someone for the lack of material to poke fun at, then blame the Mexicans. The shifty bastards had the gall to clean the area up, open businesses, paint and repair the houses, and generally make the place less of an eyesore. The exception being the overabundance of bright orange and day glo lime green painted buildings.Take heart, all is not lost. Since I've got nothing ready for an Urban blight post, you all get your favorite play along game, Where's MM?. There are two pictures, same place. I tossed the dogs in as a bonus. The giant magic brown sphere that looks as if it is about to flatten Max, actually spins in place, seemingly floating atop water, like Jesus bowling ball. Play fair, and look for my next Urban Blight installment Tuesday.

Some days you just draw a blank. This is one of them.

I got nothing. So you get a few random pictures I've taken while wondering / working in our fair city. I also came up with an idea for a new weekly installment that I am going to start doing called "Where is M M ?", or something along those lines. I'm still mulling over the exact details but the premise goes like this. Since I drive all over the metro on a daily basis, I thought it might be educational for some of you if I took a shot of some random landmark, object, etc, and let the readers see if they can guess where I am. I may be in the shot if I can find a group of Asian tourists to snap the pic, or a wino depending on the area. If you are lucky, I wont be in the picture. For the readers who are not from the Kansas City area, Where's MM will be proof that Kansas city isn't the Podunk backward town some believe it to be, or it will confirm that it is. Either way, it should be a real hoot. So keep your eye out for, Where's M M ?. In the meantime here are a couple of test pictures, any guesses where the mural photo was taken?
