7 wonders of your home town?

Hutchintrash KS

1. reno co landfill
2. carls bar    old>new
3. meth labs
4. amish playing sand volleyball in carey park
5. steve the tranny
6. taco hut
7. anywhere there is horse and buggy parking

don't give me that cosmosphere/salt mine bs... overrated imo.

Same town

1)Underage prostitution in Carey Park (as documented in Mysterious Skin movie) no idea how real this is
2) Roy's BBQ (actually a good wonder, wtf is this awesome food doing here?)
3)Steve the tranny
4)all amish (including horse and buggy and VB in this one)
5)landfill
6)meth labs
7) bogeys (love this place too)

My wonders are more based on how places I like actually are in Hutch, no idea.  Most places suck. Also, loved old carl's, have yet to go to new carls though I heard good things.  Thus, I can't add it yet...

[schreds21]

I won't use where I live (KCK) because its too big, I'll use the town I grew up in:

1. Ike Library
2. Greyhound HOF/NGA HQ
3. CW Parker Carousel
4. Russell Stover Factory
5. Seelye Mansion
6. Lebold Mansion
7. Brookville Hotel

Not bad for a town of 6500.

Don't forget the Adult store outside of town on I-70!

Sorry can't think of anything better.

True, forgot about that. I could also add Crazy Mark to the list, but no one would probably get it.

Is he Pratt's version of Weird Robert?

Hell, if were adding those guys, then I might add Disco Bob to my list.

That's the perfect way to put it. He's Pratt's Weird Robert. He walks his bike around town 24/7 and every 100 feet or so, he'll kneel down and pray. And all kinds of other crazy stuff.
