Colwich also has a failed lumber yard. The owner has been trying to sell the property for about a decade. Has been reduced to trying to rent. No takers so far. Have you ever smelled fermented milo. It is flavo-ass with a tangy twist.
I got really PAK'd in Colwich once. Not sure how that adds to the discussion
Colwich does have a liquor store and a bar.
Colwich now has TWO bars. In celebration, a small group of friends did a pub crawl there last Christmas.
The town has plenty of drawbacks, sure:
Super religious anti-abortion signs in every field
Crazy guitar lady at church
Lady who thinks there is an angel living in her barn
Sign at city limit that states "Home of Joel Weber, Speedboat Champion" or something
Priest forbid alcohol during receptions held in church assembly hall (This ban may have since been overturned.)
Ethanol plant
But it has pros:
Gambino's Pizza
Two bars, both serving food
Liquor store
Gas station that had the arcade version of Double Dragon for like 3 months in 1987
Small grocery store sells meat from Goddard locker
Elite Co-op
5 minutes from new hospital, 10 minutes from West Wichita
Colwich does not belong in this discussion. If you want a candidate for worst town in Western Sedgwick County, go with Garden Plain.
