A forgotten town in Kansas 

Thank you! We agree - Southeastern Kansas has some really nice little towns that are worth exploring.

That's because the people running our towns want them to be a retirement town. So they remove everything family oriented and deny businesses so the towns are suffering and people with families are leaving..it's happening here where I live in sek now.

That's exactly right Canton, ks is a prime example of that. Their board is out of control and dont care about the community as a whole or even the city employees.​@melanielynn9346

That’s true we just don’t have many job opportunities, or at least any close.

I agree. We were in Pittsburg, KS last year looking for an old farm the family owned 150 years ago. It’s a beautiful area.

Fantastic building and beautiful old pumps.

Arizona

I've heard Montana's is bigger. 👍🤠

We've lost decent and good leaders. Vote Kennedy jr.

I will be 80 in May. I went to a two room country school, the first small room was at the entrance which housed our coal burning furnace. Our air conditioning was opening the windows. We had a maypole, two outside outhouses and a small horse barn. I have a BS teaching degree with 33 graduate credit hours. The best teacher I had was in that school, Mrs Nellie Ramage. Yes, from the time was eight, I road my horse to school. I could get the saddle off, but couldn’t lift it on, Mrs. Ramage would help me, or a 7th or 8th grader. The farm I grew up on was 11 miles South of Holton Ks and 4 miles from Mayetta. Back to our two room school and Mrs. Ramage. We usually had around 12 kids in school, enough for a softball team, our short stop was really short, my position when I was a 4th grader. Our conference consisted of 3 schools. Our art was to decorate the windows, we had the solar system hanging from the ceiling, we would go to the timber and creeks for science. We would have two plays a year, one for Christmas and one in the late Spring. I had my first kiss behind the play curtain, she was freckeled face and very cute, thinking I was 7 or 8. I traded my horse for a car when I was 14, a freshman. I went to Holton HS so was allowed to get a license at an early age. Just over all, a great place to grow up.

I agree with Cuz. We need the small towns in KS to stay around.

It’s such a neat looking old mansion. I imagine it was quite beautiful back in the day.

Love The Hornets Nest. Been eating there on our way to the lake for 20 years.

Thanks Darrell! Chetopa has some neat old buildings for sure.

Ice fishing is the best, sit in a warm shack drinking beer!

How is that possible when Kingman is the catfish capital of Kansas?

Interesting perspective, one I hadn’t thought of.

Thank you! I somehow missed this when you originally did it and just want you to know that it is much appreciated.

Thank you! I couldn’t remember and appreciate the help with that.

@@SightseeingSally you’re very welcome! 😊
