Kansas City, MO. – If you have a curious nature, those moments happen, when you pass by something around Kansas City that's out-of-the-ordinary. You know the sensation. You see a structure or thing or place and you can only say to yourself, "What is that?" KCUR's Dan Verbeck chanced upon one of those and has some background of one of the city's larger 'white elephants.'
