When ANTIQUES ROADSHOW stops in Kansas City, Missouri, host Dan
Elias reveals how the city went from cow town to "Paris of the
Plains," with almost as many fountains as Rome and Swopes Park's
2,000 acres of formal gardens and winding boulevards. Appraisers at
the Kansas City Convention Center encounter a remarkable array of
objects, including a vase made for the Imperial Household of China
between 1736 and 1795; a wild collection of memorabilia - including
a t-shirt with bullet holes - documenting the life and antics of
beat generation writer William Burroughs; and an 1880s Pennsylvania
poplar dry sink, with fantastic grain painted finish, estimated to
be worth $8,000.
