To many *******s in Wichita. Most of the people wont even say hi to you. The nightlife is alright if you stay away from oldtown. If I want to go to a club I tend to go to OKC or Springfield to party for the weekend. Mite be a little bit of a drive but, it is worth it to me.

the problem with Wichita is that it has all the potential to be a really great place to live (i.e. Madison WI), as far as it's central location within the US; it has decent weather (four distinct seasons) but so many people here are so conservative and tight that the city will never amount to anything but a place where you can raise a family and watch your kids play baseball. Wichita is full of close minded people who want to stay in their protective little conservative, restrictive bubbles, they will shoot down any opportunities for change or improvement. The new DT arena was fought about, and griped over and nobody wanted it, and now look the entertainment it brings. As a result, progression and culture in this city will never be sustained. Any improvements will happen because they are force fed, just like the arena. I give up on this one horse town, just counting down till I can get the hell out!!

^ It astonishes me how people will bump up a thread that has been dormant for 6 months to a year with an inane, meaningless comment such as the one above. The person claims they "give up" on Wichita, but I bet they never contributed anything to make the city a better place. Probably just sat on their butt and ridiculed others.

Another thing is how does this person who just created an account today, for whom this is their first post, already have a reputation of 10? I have been here since 2008, made 22 posts and only have a reputation of 17. Either there are a bunch of negative nancy's lurking here repping up the negativity or this person is repping their own comment with sockpuppets.

Yeah, so if you hate Wichita so much my advice is go find that perfect place where you want to move and go make comments in their forum not here. There is enough negativity in the world already.

Witchita is an armpit with the most violent and extreme weather in the country, and a population so backwards that they're just now learning wrangler jeans are out of style.

I think they start out with a rating of 10. Why, I have no idea.

I, too, have noticed the frequency with which these one-post wonders show up in this forum and as I've said before, I would be curious to know how many originate from the same internet address. I mean, who chooses a screen name of 'kansassucks' except a troll?

Either this is a joke or you've only been to Wichita and Lawrence in your life.

Good call on a city you can't even spell correctly. Try looking at the weather in OKC if you think "Witchita" has it bad. They've had more snow, tornadoes, flooding and major hailstorms in the last few months.
