The 8th Street Tunnel was completed in 1888 and for the next seven decades people rode trolley cars through this steep passageway that connected downtown KC with the West Bottoms. In 1956, though, the city shut down the trolley because of increased car ownership. The tunnel was sealed off and forgotten for the next 40 years.

Yesterday a dozen of us local Instagrammers were given a rare tour of this seldom-seen part of Kansas City’s history. The private event was led by local historian and author Ray Elder. Thanks to the creative and artistic photographers Joe Sportsman & Briana Potter for making the arrangements.

A new religious statue in the town of Davidson, N.C., is unlike anything you might see in church.

The statue depicts Jesus as a vagrant sleeping on a park bench. St. Alban’s Episcopal Church installed the homeless Jesus statue on its property in the middle of an upscale neighborhood filled with well-kept townhomes.

Jesus is huddled under a blanket with his face and hands obscured; only the crucifixion wounds on his uncovered feet give him away.

The reaction was immediate. Some loved it; some didn’t.

“One woman from the neighborhood actually called police the first time she drove by,” says David Boraks, editor of DavidsonNews.net. “She thought it was an actual homeless person.”
