Rev. Nathan Scarritt arrived in what is now the metropolitan Kansas City area in September 1848 to teach classes at Rev. Thomas Johnson's Shawnee Mission Indian Manual Labor School on the Kansas side and early grammar and bible studies in the young town of Westport in the Missouri territory. His family left a rich legacy including the 1906-1907 constructed Scarritt Building (and It's accompanying arcade) which once dominated the skyline along with the New York Life and New England Buildings. Along with the KCPL Building They are my favorite historic buildings in Kansas City. #picoftheday #architecturephotography #architecturelovers #architectureporn #architecture #history #scarrittarcade #kansascity #ericnielsenkc (at The Historic Scarritt Event Venues)

November 1st is Mexico’s national holiday, Dia De Le Muertos. On this day essentially, the natives celebrate their loved ones lives instead of mourning their death. They also believe this serves as an aid in the deceased’s spiritual journey in the afterlife. During the celebration, family and friends will traditionally build altars to honor their lost loved ones. The shrines, if you will, are then adorned with sugar skulls, marigolds, favorite foods and beverages. #nelsonatkins #diadelosmuertos #kansascity #ericnielsenkc This year the Nelson-Atkins created a day full of artistic expressions culminating in a towering centerpiece in Kirkwood Hall­ featuring over one hundred paper maché skulls decorated in collaboration with the Mattie Rhodes Center, local artists, area students and the museum community. While the holiday is celebrated worldwide and in many different ways the true Day of the Dead originated in Mexico. (at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art)

Inspired people make inspired choices by not lingering on or lamenting what is no longer helpful but rather by capturing all that is useful from a moment and letting go of it enough to allow new growth and inspiration to arise. Be brave. Just Be. #maglcc #unionhillstudios #hallmark #kansascity #ericnielsenkc (at Hallmark Union Hill Studio)

Linda Hall Library is an amazing asset whose priceless volumes, exhibits , and antiquities are accessible for free to all of us in the Kansas City metropolitan area and Beyond. One such gem of an antiquity is The priceless Malachite Tazza which passed from the hands of Tsar Nicholas I to a museum before being rescued from obscurity by the Spencer family whose gift allowed it to settle into its role as the center piece of Linda Hall's renowned collection. #umkc #lindahall #lindahalllibrary #kansascity #ericnielsenkc http://libguides.lindahall.org/c.php?g=218603&p=1444340
