There are 4.25 communities in Kansas worth a crap.

Greater Kansas City (both Joco and Dot), Lawrence, Manhattan, Wichita, and roughly 25% of Topeka.  Everything else is uninhabitable.  Only Williamsburg escapes with a small astrix because of "Guy and Mae's."


This state is comprised of worthless villages of trolls that offer very little value to the country beyond the land they occupy.  We should remove all incorporated "cities" beyond those listed above, and allow massive corporate firms to farm the state using migrant workers from Mexico.

97% of Kansas  =  :AzCatBS:

I've always said, "Whatever Works!"  DM was the Bill Snyder of GCHS.  Was also prominent member of my church - good man.  I think he's coaching down here in TX just South of DFW.  Desoto I think.

Garden also ran out Springston when he was Principal... pretty stupid town sometimes.  The Mob Mentality is contagious there.  Now his son Brad Springston is the Principal...trying to make amends?

THey have pretty much bought everything that has came up for sale in that town. It is their goal to take the town over.

Small towns in Kansas generally aren't too bad, some are trashier than others but nothing really weird.  head to Missouri and you will find some really creepy hilbilly deluxe.

He has never been ordained as a priest and hasn’t been to Mass since 1989. But to his tiny flock, numbering about 100 and scattered as far away as India and Australia, he is the rightful leader of the Catholic Church.

Bawden, 45, has claimed the title of Michael I since 1990, when he was elected by six people two of them his mother and now-deceased father meeting in his father’s consignment store in nearby Belvue. He has maintained his "Vatican in Exile" near Delia for the past dozen years.

thats some weird crap. I have family in that area and they are catholic but not with that kooky clan.  I worked in Belvue for a yr and the head office was in St. Marys, i can also agree there are some strange mofos in that town and they are trying to buy up the whole area but there are some successful and wealthy farmers and business men that will not let this happen.

was in St. Marys for a couple hours today. i love as your heading into town coming from the south, when you get to the T in the road and left is Marys and right is Rossville, the first "house" as you turn left is a trailer house that has been surrounded in brick in an attempt to make it look nice and permanent... total lollerz.  The Health Food store is a gem also, that place can't have food and if it does it has to be under a 3ft deep pile of old 80's handme down clothes.  :scared:

These towns could win the trophy of "Towns that are full of people who go shopping at the Walmart in Holton " or "Towns full of people that go to Seneca and get drunk at Spankys". Nothing really weird about them imo.

St. Mary's gets my vote for weirdest.  The town definitely has a confrontational aura around it.  Like that voice in haunted houses that says "get! out!"  If an actual armed civil war between catholic factions broke out in St. Marys I wouldn't be surprised in the least.

While we're on the US-24 corridor, I'm surprised Wamego hasn't gotten any votes.  Wizard of Oz crap, downtown, windmill.  Wambingo also has some sort of shop-local gestapo.  They run ads on TV constantly to "encourage" people to shop in the Wam and not drive to evil Manhattan or T-Town.

I doubt that anyone in Centralia is wishing they could go to Jackson Hts. 

People in Goff are prolly just wishing they could go to school.  Man that town is depressing. 

Wetmore, Powhattan, Corning, Soldier, et al. aren't any weirder than other little Kansas dumps.  Almost no difference in weirdness quotient between those towns and Summerfield, Bendena, Lillis, and Westmoreland, fwiw.

QFT.  Lillis is def. cool.  Grew up not far from there, actually.  Just saying Corning (also cool) is no weirder than Lillis.  It's all about weirdness in this thread.  Maybe someone should start a "coolest towns in Kansas with population <300" thread.

Hanover is also cool, fwiw.

Agreed. If you are going to name a weird town, there has to be a reason given. Towns aren't weird just because they are small.

"WOW, there is a grain elevator a store and a school, that's weird!"  :users:

seriously if you've been to Kirwin, KS then you are probably lieing.

Gotta admit that there is some great KS small town lunch buffet restaraunts.  Norton has one, Ness City has a good one. There's another one that I'm thinking of in NC KS but can't remember the town.  Just make sure you bring cash.  My fav is the restaraunt at the sale barn in Plainville. Great BF and Lunch. Not sure it's open for dinner.  Prob not, no alcohol served.

I was up there on business dealing with a lady whose hubby was mason contractor. She worked for the city if I remember and I met her at city all with it's all 3 employees.  Don't remember her being a bitch, but she could've been.

as we are eating, look out window and see two sets of 3-4 guys in head to toe black robe looking deals walking down those steps (in last pic, dude on them). Now add the fact it was a cold dark day and it was set up like a horror movie, really creepy
