It seems that KS as a whole, wants to burden its population when it comes to learning rather than encourage it. It burdens its users w fees, rather high ones, for everything.

It took close to an hour to walk along and appreciate all of the memorials. There was so much to appreciate at each memorial. The Korean War Memorial was unique! It had an Asian styled entrance. It was pretty cool! When you looked through it, you could see the Map of Korea. Beyond that, there is a soldier on top of a pedestal with tributes to each of the Branches of Military. I took a picture of each plaque which also gives you a different vantage point of the soldier on top of the pedestal. I also was fascinated with the 15 flags flying high! Each flag has shows the changes in the United States through the years. Did you know that there is a specific flag for the Commander-In-Chief? This Park is just steps away from the Arkansas River. We were walking along the path next to the river when we spotted this and decided to take a closer look. So glad we did! I had not seen memorials for a lot of the Wars memorialized here. Sad to say there have been a lot of conflicts, but it's really cool that this spot in Kansas paid tribute to the Veterans and their families. In case you never make it here, I have added a slew of photos, so you can view them. I highly recommend y'all to make it out here. I am grateful to our Veterans & their families for the freedoms we can enjoy because of your sacrifices!

I finally got called in around 4:20pm and the process once you are called is usually extremely fast if you have all the documents properly. Sadly my bill of sale had a cross out that I had to get another version rewritten by the dealership and they missed signing off the title on the title document so I had to sit and wait for faxes to and from the dealership to tag office. The representative was so supportive and I was so happy I was able to get my tag by the time of closing. Things to remember: check you title before you go that all parts are filled out and that there are no cross outs or scribbles.

The Keeper of the Plains is one of those Wichita landmarks that feels even more powerful when…read moreyou're standing there in the heat of a weekday afternoon, watching the rivers meet below you. It was designed by Kiowa-Comanche artist Blackbear Bosin and is a 44-foot-tall Cor-Ten steel sculpture that was unveiled in 1974. The sculpture was created as a gift to the city and as a tribute to the Native peoples of the Plains. With its hands raised in supplication to the Great Spirit, it represents both spirituality and the deep cultural history tied to the confluence of the Big and Little Arkansas Rivers, a site long considered sacred by many tribes. The surrounding plaza interprets Plains Indian life and the famous Rings of Fire illuminate the base on select evenings, adding a ceremonial feel to the space. From a visitor's perspective, accessibility is mixed. The upper plaza and bridges are easy to navigate, but the lower riverbank areas to require steps, which is worth noting on a hot day when you're exploring the city. Still, the experience feels meaningful. The sculpture's elevation onto a 30-foot rock promontory and the addition of the bow-and-arrow-inspired bridges only strengthen its presence as one of the 8 Wonders of Kansas and as Wichita's most recognizable symbol. Even as someone who isn't Native American, it's hard not to appreciate how intentionally the city honors the region's Indigenous heritage here. The setting, the interpretive elements and the sculpture itself all work together to create a place that feels respectful, reflective and unmistakably tied to the Plains.
