Some days, most days, I can find a list of reasons I do not like Wichita. Then I read this article. I'd still like to move, for various reasons. Unfortunate that it is more comfortable to complain about the problems than initiate change.
Naked City, a groovy little mag found around town published an article about all the Wichita possibilities. Whose responsibility is it to change the city? The Mayors? The Wizard of Oz? Us? Us.
A smart guy named Jason Dilts says this: "Ultimately, it's incumbent upon all of us as Wichitans to take ownership in our city's future. If we really want a connected downtown synced with our visions, we have to speak up! We have an outlet..."
Hah. Imagine that, communication is still the key. Sometimes we just forget.
So while I'm here, I will try to be better about my bellyaching. I do <3 Old Town. Here are a few of my faves:
LuCindas (super cute boutique, trendy clothes and cheeky gifts)
Caffe Moderne
Mead's Corner
The Donut Whole
A Legacy Antique Mall (Antiques for everyone, even the kids!)
Hana Cafe (Great Japanese)
Warren Old Town Theater
River City Brewing Co.
