Reading an article in Slate, I happened upon a website called Great Buildings. It seems to be loosely affiliated with Architecture Week magazine. The site lists great buildings from all over the world.
One Kansas City building made the list -- Kemper Arena. Kemper Arena?
I guess we better figure out something to do with it if it's the only "great" building we have in the whole town.

Funny thing is when they were giving the award to the architects, the roof collapsed that very same week because of heavy rain pooling a low spots of the roof
