TBH, I wasn't impressed with the Vegas airport. Yeah, they had slot machines but the food/beverage options were lame. I expected something better. [Reply]

Agreed. There are a few hidden gems but most are left to be desired.
Guessing there's great BBQ at the KC airport? [Reply]

It has a Wendy's though, that goes pretty far [Reply]
It's never about "art vs. no art" or "art vs. pot holes or homeless", it's about "quality work vs. quackery". I won't try to decide that here from pictures, I just hope these turn out to be of greater quality and interest than the old "oil running down the string" piece at the old Blue Ridge Mall. [Reply]

More than 1,000 artists from around the world submitted inquiries after Kansas City announced an international search for artists.
The city said the four works of art were chosen because they either reflected the wonder of travel or Kansas City history.
The budget for artwork at KCI’s new terminal is $5.65 million. Kansas City’s single-terminal airport is expected to open on budget and on time in early 2023.
“The fact that we’ve been through a pandemic over the last year and yet this project remains on time, on schedule, and on budget is a testament to the good work of the team,” said Justin Meyer with the KC Aviation Department.
You can see the renderings of the art projects in the gallery below.
Entitled "Molten Swing"
Entitled "The Air up There"
Entitled "Ornithology"
Entitled "Fountain of Resonance"
"Molten Swing" looks kind of like a mosaic dog or cat to me, it might look cool though but not sure what to make of it at this point.
"The Air up There" simply looks like some lights on the ceiling, again it might look better when you're actually there I hope.
"Ornithology" reminds me of those attacking creatures in the Pitch Black movie. You just knew one of the artwork they chose would have a WTF moment and this is it.
"Fountain of Resonance" I approve of this one. :-)

I fly back tonight then I’ll be doing the same thing you are.
I may get there a little early tomorrow and try one of the other restaurants.
I ate at the city market coffee shop this morning. They clearly have some kinks to work out. Several of their options weren’t available and they were having trouble keeping up (there weren’t that many customers either). They’ll figure it out though. [Reply]
