This weekend started with bad news for Oak Park Mall as the suburban economy slowly fades.
However, right now, while locals are binging and gorging on carbs, nitrates and cholesterol . . . Here's a look at Kansas City's last great shopping mall helping to champion a cause for the less fortunate.
Check some of our favorites from this annual Harvesters tradition:
Canstruction Kansas City 2018
Deets:
"See amazing structures built entirely out of canned food and other nonperishable items. Teams of Kansas City architects, engineers and contractors will compete against each other to create amazing structures. When the exhibit closes, the food is donated to Harvesters and is distributed to hungry families, children and seniors in our community."
Here are just a few of our favorite creations and delicious bad puns . . .
Check out the Harvesters website to vote in the People's Choice Awards.
You decide . . .
I guess if you're going to pay retail, you might as well try and help somebody.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't seem like there are a lot of people at the mall. And I see Nordstrom's closed up again. Looks like the mall owners might need some of this food soon.
DeleteDon't play with your food!
Delete^^^ Lulz. Get a life. It's non perishable and for a very good cause.
ReplyDelete"I see Nordstrom's closed up again."
ReplyDeleteYeah.
It closes every night.
Oh, I know, your Walmart never closes, so at least you can go get some fresh Depends if you need to.
^Yep,10:02, you're in your fave Barry Bathhouse that's always open 24/7, just like your big mouth you've got on your buttbuddies' a**hole!
ReplyDeleteWell that's a very intelligent and well reasoned response but very typical of this AWESOME BLOG COMMUNITY!!!
ReplyDelete^^^ 10:16, so sad on a Sunday night. Did you watch the Super Bowl alone. I'm guessing you did. Don't worry, you'll always have a friend on the blog. Keep coming back again and again.
ReplyDeleteWe think you're just spiffy.
If you've never seen this it really is damned impressive what those kids do. Kudos to them.
ReplyDeleteSomebody changed the photo on the Chiefs wiki page.
ReplyDeleteIt's worth checking out.
Disgruntled fan after seeing Pederson and Foles win the big one?
This is what the new airport will be made of, tin can construction!
ReplyDeleteLooks kind of deserted. The way the giant Olathe mall looked before they bulldozed it.
