Performing Arts Center showing some skin

Its steel bones in place, the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is beginning to show Kansas City what a $413-million concert hall looks like.

The above photo, taken Friday afternoon, shows workers erecting a stainless steel exterior that will be visible from Broadway. The view should be even more striking in summer, when the sun makes a higher arc.
