WTF! I’m all for art, but why are we blocking a major artery for it?

Could be kind of a pain, but I think Charlotte and Oak are just as "major" as Rockhill. People will figure it out with detour signs. It just 3 weeks.

Traffic is a gas, not a liquid. People will find new routes. The world will not end.

Voted for the Nelson cause im a homer. But if you haven’t been to Crystal Bridges in Bentonville, I highly recommend you take a trip to see it. Fantastic art museum and surprisingly close to Kansas City (only a 3ish hour drive!)

Recently published in KMT. Nelson is exhibiting stolen loot. Just in time for the 100th anniversary of Howard Carters' discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. The two gold falcons that were purchased in 1967 were stolen from the mummy prior to photography of all the objects, by none other than Carter himself. The pieces were given by him to his surgeon who passed them on to the unnamed person who sold them to the Nelson. They were originally part of a large beaded pectoral of which the central part was so embedded in the mummy it was not removed by Carter. Will the Nelson repatriate them to Egypt? I doubt it, unless Egypt makes a claim.
