Kansas City

One entry, and I have not been. This page is a plan, not a memory, and it is time it stopped being one.

A great collection sitting on a lawn in Missouri, which several people I trust have told me is the best reason to cross this country.

Written as an intention. I will rewrite it when I have been.

The entries

One entry, and I have not stood in it. The mark below is hollow for a reason.

Notes for Kansas City

I have not been. Everything on this page is intention, and I would rather say so plainly than dress up other people's descriptions as my own afternoon.

What I do know is secondhand and consistent: the Chinese galleries are the reason people cross the country for it, and everyone who has gone has told me to allow more time than I planned.

Spring, when I finally go, and two nights rather than one. The entry stays hollow until then, and the hollow mark is doing its job.
