The interpretive panels around the paths are actually fun to read and they give a quick, friendly crash course on the history of the Plains tribes without feeling heavy or academic. With the Big and Little Arkansas (pronounced AR-Kansas) Rivers rushing together right below, there is a steady sound of moving water that makes the whole place feel calm even when there are people around. The pedestrian bridges are honestly half the experience. They are cable-stayed and with those tall, clean looking masts and the cables fanning out, it feels light and modern. Walking across gives a great rive of the rivers on both sides and the design makes the approach to the Keeper feel intentional. Almost like the bridges are guiding you to the statue. It is one of those spots where the setting and the structure work together so well that you end up enjoying the walk as much as the destination. [Review 734 of 2026 - 85 in Kansas - 25915 overall]

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.

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.

Stonehenge in Central Riverside Park is one of those Wichita curiosities that you stumble upon…read morealmost by accident, a tight cluster of stones arranged in a rough henge-like circle just off the park's main walkway. They sit on the north side of the park near the bend of the Little Arkansas River and while you can see them clearly from the paved path, wheelchairs and mobility challenged folks won't be able to reach the stones themselves because the final 100 feet or so is uneven grass. If you're able to walk out to them, they make for an interesting stop, especially since the park has plenty of parking and is already one of the city's best green spaces. The stones were installed in the late 1970s as part of a public art initiative tied to Riverside Park's long history as Wichita's oldest municipal park, first established in 1887. I've been to a number of "henges" across the country - Kentucky Stonehenge, Canoehenge in Missouri, the Cadillac Ranch and VW Bug Ranch in Texas - and this one fits right into that tradition of playful Americana. It's smaller and more modest than the big roadside installations, but it has that same spirit of someone deciding that a ring of stones would make the world a little more interesting. The setting helps, too. Central Riverside Park is wrapped by a bend in the river, giving the stones a surprisingly scenic backdrop, and the whole area is easy to enjoy on foot. It's not the original in England, but it's a fun, quirky landmark that adds character to a park that already has plenty. [Review 737 of 2026 - 87 in Kansas - 25918 overall]
