My friend Simon of Westside Studio sent me this photo: Walking near Children’s Mercy Hospital one chilly fall day, I heard the tinkling sounds of a piano, like someone was randomly playing notes up the scale.  I walked closer and saw piano keys laid out on the sidewalk.  As people left the hospital to walk to their cars, they played a random melody.  It reminded me of the scene in “Big” where Tom Hanks plays chopsticks at FAO Schwartz.  It was unexpected and I was struck enough at the time at the bold letters that I snapped this picture.   Do you have a picture of Kansas City typography that you’d like to submit? Do it here.
