Kansas City Dream Wall
Close to downtown, I walked past a wall with a bunch of writing during the summer but from a distance it just looked like the scribblings of junkie hippies so I didn't want to get any closer.
Turns out it was a Kansas City cooperative art project with support from a local business.
Earlier this year, on a building located at 125 SW Boulevard a great many people were invited to write their messages, dreams and hopes for the future.
Surprisingly, there wasn't a lot of dumb sex references (because I didn't participate) and the writing mostly looks as if people wrote messages encouraging peace.
Kansas City Paint features more than 260 photos of the wall.
The JedShed also filed a pretty comprehensive post regarding the project.
Wall space and corporate backing for the quote wall (of sorts) came from Missouri Bank.
I haven't been by the area to see if the writing remains but this video captures the messages nicely.

you should go by and put your name and phone number down. Great way of picking up chicks.
Thanks Tony for the nice article.... I thought I left a thank you note way back when. Hmmm.. Well, thanks Tony's Kansas City. I've linked at my new wordpress blog (among various other sites).
