This is looking south out of downtown at the Crown Center skyline.
The cranes are for the Performing Arts Center in the Crossroads District.

These are views of KC that you've never seen before.

up to 35 views just an hour later and still no replies.

why does the side of that art deco tower have no windows?

Chill! Those are nice pics, though i do wonder about the date thing in the corner.

That is the KC Power & Light Building.
I think there was to be twin structures, but the plan was abandoned in the midst of the Depression; notice how the building is slightly lopsided.
I think it would be awesome if there was an art deco design on that; kind of like what graces both sides of the old Federal Reserve entrance, except have it take up the entire blank wall.

I love how some of the downtown buildings look with the sunset in the background. Great stuff.

now that i'm reasonably "challaxed"... thanks for the comments.

Ira you know a lot about KCMO, did you move from there to Rolla?

I actually come from Harrisonville. If you don't know, it is a small town about 30 miles south of KC.

Rolla is where I am going to school (Missouri University of Science and Technology).

Very nice pics.

I've looked at a few Missouri photo threads now -- it's strange how the better pics even convey how steamy-humid the areas near the rivers in K.C. and St. Louis can get.
