SALINA, Kan. (KMTV) — Vintage cars, public art and an outstanding culinary scene highlight a weekend getaway to Salina, Kansas. Located a little more than three hours from Omaha, Salina may be the hidden gem in Kansas. With a downtown that may conjure up thoughts of Omaha's Old Market, art lovers will appreciate the many murals and sculptures that line 5th Street. Hardening to the city's past or embracing pop culture, the public art displayed over an eight-block area is surreal. Public art Amelia Earhart's mural is among the paintings known as Alley Artwork You may want to join the action as you soak in the grain elevator art of children playing Ring Around the Rosey.
