Beloved mural on Southwest Boulevard honoring KC Mexican community gets new look

In 1991, a handful of young Kansas City artists painted a mural on the long, brick wall of a self-storage company on busy Southwest Boulevard. Their artwork paid homage to the history, culture and pride of the Mexican-American community of Kansas City’s Westside. The public art project made news. It was led by a 23-year-old Kansas City Art Institute student who grew up in the neighborhood, the same woman who now, 35 years later, is spearheading the transformation of the wall — all 683 feet of it.

A Midwest awakening: Kansas City golf scene shines with restored muni, pristine private clubs

KANSAS CITY — When you think about premier golf destinations in the U.S., the usual suspects likely come to mind. Long Island, the Phoenix Valley, the Carolinas, anywhere along the coasts of California and Florida. If someone mentions a place such as Kansas City, most people probably assume it’s a bunch of flat Midwestern nothingness ― an afterthought in America's golf scene. But the KC metro is experiencing a golf renaissance. The game is booming just as it is in most U.S. regions, and club owners and municipalities alike are investing big dollars in their properties, crafting elite golf experiences for members and residents while also attracting golfers from around the country. Golfweek editor Tim Schmitt and I had a chance to tour and play several of these courses, and we were shocked. The quality of each property was astounding and quickly made us forget where we were, in the best way. Swope Memorial Golf Course Swope Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri, opened in 1915 then was completely redesigned by A.W. Tillinghast in 1935.
