Where is MM ?

Okay here we go , the first ever installment of Where is MM. This one is fairly easy, future WMM's will be more obscure, weired, or just plain difficult to identify the location of. There is no prize, no glory, zero accolades, and not a single benefit for answering correctly. You get some cred for knowing shit about the KC metro area, that's it. Oh, and you get to read some anecdote or semi witty crap I will write to accompany the photo. Just put your answer in the comment section , or don't.
I have been fascinated by this statue since I was a little Miscreant. My mother told me that some guy discovered it in some ancient ruins in China. She said the eyes once held diamonds but the guy had to remove them to pay to ship the thing back. It was a long story, and pure fantasy intended to amuse a little boy.
Mom has long since slipped from this mortal coil, but the memory of her , or at least a snapshot from days past still resides with this statue.
This thing is huge. It stands at least 10 feet tall, the eagle has a wing span of 8 foot or better. I don't know the real history of it. If anyone knows, just keep it to yourself. As far as I'm concerned it was discovered in ancient Asian ruins and once had diamond eyes.
