Attn:  Manhattan Town Center, get in the center of town.

You can literally cross the street from downtown and find yourself in the mall parking lot.  Do you propose they simply put a mall on campus, as that is really the center of town?

All Chinese Buffet served very un-ching-chang-chong-chinaman foods like mac & cheese and spaghetti.  <--Which they ALWAYS labeled 'spashetti.'

back off. that building is architecturally beautiful. A real treat to spend a year as a 14/15 year old 9th grader.
It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

Nope. It's next to them. It goes straight to a dead end on Leavenworth. There's a plaque in the middle of it.

    warm up the EMAW
That is also the location of the most frightening alley in the world.  During lunch hour and after the high school let's out pedestrians were in peril as people would race/be morons going down that roller coaster on to Delaware.  Tons of near miss t-bones for motorists minding their own biz on Delaware, caught by surprise by acne faced demons flying down from Sunset.

There is a park-like area or maybe it is really a park between where Leavenworth ends in a circle above and where Leavenworth "T" 's with Delaware Street below.  There are steps on either side of this area which would be Leavenworth street if it went down the hill. 

I used to live at Triangle Fraternity (221 N. Delaware) which was right next to this area when I was in school.  The house, itself, is now in private ownership.

I love the smell of peat in the evening.  That smell, you know that earthy smell...  Smells like...whisky !

What is that odd out of place building on the south side of poyntz. Not sure of the other street, but.... A little east of 17th & Poyntz, not quite to Cap Fed Bank.  Was built a couple years ago, and just sticks out like a sore thumb tryin to be all futuristicky and stuff.

I always got lost when I had to go to the bottom floor, which was unfortunate because that's where my locker was.

-How secluded Manhattan Country Club is is pretty WTF. I've lived here for the past four years and still haven't seen any sign of it, even though I know where it's at.

-The stretch of highway 24 from Tuttle Creek to McCall has some pretty gross establishments.


-Can't quite figure out the water tower thing behind Purple Wave with "1-800-221-CATS" on it.

The little grill?  :runaway: :runaway:

I don't think that's what he means. At least I hope not. Best Jerk i've had. :lick:

Nah, not knocking Little Grill. I've never been there, but I've heard nothing but good reviews. I was going more for the whole rank hotel and K-Mart type places along that road. On an unrelated note, has anyone ever been to the Goodnow House? It's a historical monument and all, I think.

Speaking of that area on Claflin, wtf Goodnow Park?  You can just have a vacant field, put a GD cloud (i think) statue in it, and call it a park.  80% of the time, the grass is up to your knees.  

Also, Tuttle Creek? What's up with that?
Pioneer Park, bro. Goodnow Park is off of Thurston by the water treatment plant.

If you're talking about the green building across from the MAC... I think it's an architecture firm or something.

My two WTF's are the stone table paths behind the zoo/high school and the random water tower thing on the corner of Evergreen Ave and Sunset by the high school.

You sure you're not talking about north of Poyntz? Can't really think of any weird buildings on the south side of Poyntz between 17th and Cap Fed.

That water tower is actually a water tower.  It is quite old and obviously no longer in use.  I remember when I lived down the street about 12 years ago some of the neighbors came around with a petition to save the tower which the city wanted torn down (not really sure why as you can't really do anything else with that little parcel of land).  I couldn't sign because I wasn't a registered voter in Riley Co.

No south side. And I think he means right next to cap fed. What waks said is right...I think it is an architecture firm with and extremely awkward looking building

I lived across the street from it for an entire year and never once had the desire to walk across the street and look at it. OMG Its an old house!

Rocky Ford Fishing Area....
1) Hard to get too
2) Overall a nice setup, but WTF is with the trashyness of the place. Last time i went there, It smelled absolutely horrible. Dead fish laying everywhere, beer cans floating. Would be a nice place if it was kept up.

The dead fish are a result of when it floods due to increased outlet from tuttle. When the water goes down Gar get stuck on the rocks and stink to high hell.

Hell of a place to fish if you know what time to go and how to fish it. Thats where I got the fish below.
