I found a picture of this the other day while searching for photos from Kansas City and I knew I had to go photograph it myself. This is probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I live here and I've never heard of it before—it makes me wonder what other secrets my hometown might be hiding.
This photo was taken on March 11, 2007 in Downtown, Kansas City, MO, US, using a Sony DSLR-A100.

It's on my architecture blog, too (I credited you for the photo and linked it back to here, but please let me know if you prefer otherwise)... :)

San Diego: thanks for the heads up. I was wondering why all of a sudden 3,000 people had looked at this picture!
Giorgia: no problem. Thanks for linking back to my page.

This is all sorts of awesome. Hope you don't mind if I post about it on Squandrous.

I wish all parking garages had a sense of humor.

It's at a public library, and it features The Lord of the Rings (implied elves), so this photo qualifies forMonkey Elf Pirate Pizza Public Library! Please add it.

This is great, it reminds me of the Crayons on The Bayswater Road in London.

Someone had an imagination. Too bad they planted trees along the side of the building on the sidewalk. Really cool garage though.

That's so cool, it's amazing what you can find hidden inside the city, or town, or village, it's just a question of looking around

The KC Main Library is in a converted bank building. The film and video materials are stored in the basement -- literally the film vault. They left the original vault with giant round door at least a foot thick and use it as a film screening room. If you ever come to KC, I'd be glad to give you a tour.
