My family utilized the old facility a lot when my children were younger, but in recent years I've been getting my reading materials from Barnes & Noble. The building is beautiful and accommodating with many private rooms of all sizes available for meetings large and small. The staff is friendly and quite knowledgeable, with many of them having been with the library for years. The many terrific services available are too numerous to name. Just a few though: print a document from home to pick up at the library (as well as many other business functions), adult self-checkout (bypass the line!), scan a book while you're at Barnes & Noble using the library app to see if the library has it, AND reserve it!, 'library to go' (delivery service for patrons unable to visit the library), and on and on! If you haven't been to the facility, go! I got my new library card! : )

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.

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.

Many old photos, retro signage and that unmistakable "this is where it all started" energy. Even from the wrong side of the door, it's still pretty cool. Pizza Hut was founded here in Wichita in 1958 by brothers Dan and Frank Carney. After decades of expansion and multiple ownership changes, it is currently in the process of being sold by Yum! Brands to a capital company and a Chinese partner. The chain struggled in recent years due to declining US sales, increased competition and the rise of delivery-first rivals with lower costs. The latest news is that the sale is expected to close later this year, marking the first time since the 1970s that Pizza Hut will not be owned by PepsiCo or Yum. A sad new chapter. (Just don't ask me how many Pizza Huts I've reviewed because I wasn't helping them much.) This now joins my growing collection of "firsts" that includes the first Starbucks in Seattle, the first Dunkin in Quincy, the first Timmy's in Hamilton and now the birthplace of the Hut.

We were happy to…read morehave taken the longer way back, even though we were told by many people that there was nothing to see in Kansas. We found that was not the case, and this museum was one of the hidden gems. The quaint little self-serve museum sits on the Wichita State University campus grounds. The doors are unlocked at 9am. One you open the door, the lights automatically turn on, and you're free to roam! Keep in mind that this is a very tiny museum, but if you read everything and watch all of the TV segments, you could end up staying for 45 minutes tops.

But this time the time zone difference worked in my favor and I managed to slip in after my work day while it was still open. And open it is, because I walked right in and had the run of the place long enough to appreciate the structure of this old building and the craftsmanship in the woodwork, tile, and fixtures. The Historic Sedgwick County Courthouse was completed in 1888 in a Richardsonian Romanesque style, all rough stone, arches, and heavy detailing. It still feels solid and intentional more than a century later. The interior has that classic late nineteenth century feel with broad staircases, carved trim, and the kind of workmanship that you only get when a county is trying to announce that it has arrived. Sedgwick County itself was formed in 1867 and named for Union Major General John Sedgwick, and Wichita has been the county seat from the beginning. The territorial legislature chose Wichita because it was already emerging as a regional trading center on the Arkansas (pronounced AR-Kansas) River and had the population and economic momentum that nearby towns could not match. The building was meant to anchor a growing city, and even with government and judicial offices moved elsewhere, the place still carries that sense of civic pride and permanence.
