fter spending much time out on what is left of the indigenous American prairie, I found this sign on a structure in Kansas City to be ironic. With the constructed cityscape environment reflected in the windows as a reminder, mankind has virtually removed the prairie from the globe.

“Every great wave of popular passion that rolls up on the prairies is dashed to spray when it strikes the hard rocks of Manhattan.” Henry Louis Mencken
