FYI: I know VERY LITTLE about Wichita other than movie theaters and a few (mostly Arabic/French) restaurants. Are there things to do during the day while my wife is shopping at the crappy mall other than listening to my father-in-law yell at Al Jazeera?

Please give me the name of the Arabic restaurant (if it is good)
My wife's family likes N+J's (I think largely because they know the owners). There's also a French bakery place in a really odd location on Harry St (Bagatelle, I think) that makes great manooshi. La Galete is mostly French, but it's owned by a Lebanese family. I'm not sure what's on the menu, but I know they make great fatoush, tabouli, kibbe, hummus, etc in the back at least. The same family owns Pita and Panini (used to be Yuca Bistro) and TJ's, incidentally.
There's at least one more place. I'll ask my wife for the name. (and technically, spangles is a lebanese restaurant...)

Try a beef and a zaatar manooshi when you're there (the cheese is good, but is super greasy).

My brother-in-law also insists on Texas Roadhouse (which really isn't that bad) and some tiny place called the Fish Market or something. My older, godfather-esque brother-in-law likes to rent out his own section at the Olive Tree for brunch once a week (this was actually pretty good; plus he looks exactly like Andy Garcia and actually wore a tracksuit to the restaurant, which was outstanding).
My wife and her youngest sister used to work at the Hilton and always drag us to the Sunday seafood buffet (crab legs! crepes!). The oldest sister is the one that owns the restaurant, so she hardly ever eats out and insists that we eat at her place (which is phenomenal; she makes homemade baklava that just melts in your mouth).

The sushi is at Hana and it's not in a goddamn strip mall. It's a square with shops and pretty good bars and restaurants in Old Town. In the same square is a wine and tappas bar that I like a lot called Oeno. Cafe Moderne is also in the same square and I love it. OK_Cat talks crap on Wichita because he hasn't been told where the good smelling elites go. When he gasses up the camino and comes to town he hangs out at Fat Tony's and Wichita Wild games with the rest of his mullet wearing, casino loving, MMA watching, toothless Okie hillbilly buddies.
Also Fish Market isn't my thing but everyone who has eaten there loves it.

Same owner. New chef (or maybe A chef). They jacked with the food which used to be pretty good for bar food. There are still some good options but it is not as good as it used to be across the board. The service always sucked but was tolerable with the food/atmosphere. Now they are getting ready to jack with the bar setup and the menu again.

My townie nieces sound exactly like this. OMG did you know we got a PF Chang RIGHT NEXT TO ABUELO'S ON THE WATER OMG BRICKS AND FOUNTAINS!
My brother-in-law also insists on Texas Roadhouse (which really isn't that bad) and some tiny place called the Fish Market or something. My older, godfather-esque brother-in-law likes to rent out his own section at the Olive Tree for brunch once a week (this was actually pretty good; plus he looks exactly like Andy Garcia and actually wore a tracksuit to the restaurant, which was outstanding).
My wife and her youngest sister used to work at the Hilton and always drag us to the Sunday seafood buffet (crab legs! crepes!). The oldest sister is the one that owns the restaurant, so she hardly ever eats out and insists that we eat at her place (which is phenomenal; she makes homemade baklava that just melts in your mouth).
"Hey guys. Felix Rex here. I think ill start a thread asking for things to do in wichita so that I can eventually post about how I know more about wichita and places to eat there and stuff to do and not do there than everybody on this board combined."
I mean, dear lord. What an bad person.

Fantasea was epic. It was the greater Wichita area version of Oceans of Fun when your parents were too lazy to haul you all the way from Winfield to KC. My fave were those three slides that started at the top of a big hill. Right after starting down one of them, my slide mat would "accidentally" slip from underneath me and I would go the rest of the way down headfirst on my belly at breakneck speeds, then get yelled at by one of the lifeguards at the bottom :lol:

Am I just an idiot or did Wichita just get 4g for Sprint? I had mine turned off because we didn't have it but it turnd itself on today and says I'm logged in to the network...
Just downtown and the airport, and neither signal is strong or reliable. The downtown 4G signal is either at Century II/Hyatt or LD Stadium. It doesn't pick up in Old Town & when I was at Old Mill today I had a very weak 4G signal. The signal at the airport is slightly stronger (I live about 2 miles SE of the airport and can get a faint signal at times) but is much less reliable.
I'm sure the Sprint press release telling us we'll get 4G LTE in the 2nd quarter of 2013 is just a few weeks away, I predict we'll actually have legit 4G sometime around 2016.

Wichita police arrested three people in Old Town on Sunday in an incident that began when a man threw an inflatable penis at an officer's horse.
Officers were patrolling Old Town on horseback at about 1:20 a.m. when they came across a large group of women in their early- to mid-20s who had been celebrating at a bachelorette party, police said.
Also in the group was a 24-year-old man, a brother to one of the women at the party. He was carrying a 5-foot-long inflatable penis, police said.
"While he was joking around with this toy, he launched this large toy toward one of our officers, who was on horseback," police spokesman Gordon Bassham said.
The toy struck the officer's horse, causing the horse to get spooked, he said.
Police arrested the man, of Eastborough, on suspicion of battery of a law enforcement officer, in this case, the horse.
A woman, upset at the arrest, grabbed the arresting officer's arm, police said. She too was arrested.
While the crowd was being dispersed, another woman in the party was arrested when she struck a horse's head, police said. The horse stepped on the foot of that woman, who was treated on the scene, then taken to jail.

Is there any purpose to police horses other than to bait drunk people into assaulting them? eff those things.The tv show McCloud 1970-77 about a small timey Marshall transplanted to NYC had Marshall Sam McCloud riding all crazy ass around NYC.He killed a lot of people iirc and had mad horse riding skills and not once do I remember anyone even getting close enough to assault his horse.I think big city horse cops these days lack mad horse riding skills and as a result can`t keep their horses out of harms way and citizens end up paying the price.

Maybe the rice doesn't get cooked as well when you order it in the shape of a penis. I've been told you get better results when you don't make that request.

And if you're going to say no self-respecting :kstategrad: should eat at a place whose business model uncludes phrasing like "all you can eat" but I can vouch that its worth it
Also, Wichita Fish Co. is a good little hole in the wall with good fish, best (and arguably only) raw oysters in town.

Pro-tip, theres a new chinese buffet on north rock (bro) and K96 in the old Ryans ( :barf:) that has me by the balls. I've been pretty cold on chinese buffets of late, been burned by a couple in the ICT area, thought maybe there wasn't a taste for it ergo no customers ergo low turnover ergo crap product. Anyways, finally tried it a month ago, i've gone there at least once a week since. Called Royal Buffet.

There's a new one by the Best Buy on West Kellogg called Tepanyaki, very good as well. No idea why it's called that as there's no Tepanyaki going on there.

Jet BBQ was always fun to go to, I grew up on the north side of K-96 and Woodlawn, and it was so fun to watch people scream all the way down the Thunder Plunge (you could hear them from the front yard of my house). Glad someone said Old Mill Tasty Shop already. The goblin thing by the keeper of the plains is pretty interesting, given they spent money on putting a goblin under the grating by the river. Skate East was cool as a kid (Skate South was not a place to go to). Don't know if it's still there but the Riverside Perk was fun 19th hole to go to after playing a round of disc golf at Oak Park. All the airshows with it used to being the Air Capital were fun to watch, as it was to see the B-1's (when they were there) and KC-135's do there flight path in to McConnell (living near that flight path was just great). Going to Mosley Street Melodrama can be cheesy sometimes, but a lot of fun, especially at Christmas time.
My parents frickin love that melodrama place. (Well, I'm pretty sure it's my mom that really likes it.)

No, denied. Old Town Cabaret is bitb. But both are very different than Looney Bin. Looney Bin is just a matter of who is performing.

Jetman is great. Stop by on a Friday evening and have a beer and play some ping pong. Carousel Skate Center was/is awesome. Never went to skate east. Have been to skate south once unfortunately. Riverside Perk is long gone - Maggie that owns Scotch and Soda killed it.

Scotch and Sirloin is the easy choice here. They don't have a lunch entree over $15 but don't have a dinner entree under $20.
Oh yeah, its also a front for high dollar prostitution.

Ha. I don't really have a recipe. Let me get it on paper and I'll pm it to you. But you have to promise not to start a competing super elite cheesecake/coffee/wine bar next to mine. Deal?
Most of Tanya's sammy's are cold. Mike's are typical hot sandwiches. Also you could hit The Flying Stove (food truck) for pretty elite sandwiches.

i just don't understand how you land at an airport that has no control tower while you are talking to an air force base and the air force base is all "yeah, we see you, come on home" and then nope whoops we could have killed everyone by landing at this hayseed farm strip. so weird. i mean. it's 2013.
I watched Flight last Saturday night, the night before flying back home. Then on the plane, the guy across the aisle from me was watching the Breaking Bad episode where (spoiler alert!) a plane explodes.
Hey FR, PAK Saturday???

Seriously though, I ate at a Maid Rite in Iowa. It was fantastic.

Don't. I've eaten there twice in the past two years and I always get some weird gut reaction when I do.
It makes my stomach sour and my bowels a lil loose.

Yep, absolutely. I would see about calling ahead though because it's tiny and can get pretty busy. I got some takeout a week or so ago and it probably took me fifteen minutes.

-WTF with Larry Buds east, bro? That is the world capital of tshirt Shox/Squawk fan, it literally may be the most insufferable place on the planet.
-Good call on QT but I prefer the South Broadway QT for entertainment, lots of begging drug addled hookers.
-Spangles gives me mud butt. The Oasis Lounge has great burgers but it seems as if they intentionally make the worst fries on the planet.
-Scotch and Soda but no Scotch and Sirloin?
-Surprised to not see Cinnamon's Deli and City Bites (I really miss City Bites)
-There is a mexican place on West Street, north of central a block or two on the west side of the street that is amazing, the building used to be a drive in or something, no idea of the name.
-Never saw or heard of those statues, I gotta check that out on my next trip. I have been to the memorial at the park on Piatt St where the plane crashed and killed a bunch of black kids and nearly killed Lynette Woodard btw.
Wichita has character, I miss it more than Boston. I wish civic pride existed there.

I consider myself a bit of an expert on 24 Mexican places and that one on West isn't my favorite. I've had it several times and it's often good but the consistency is lacking. I generally hit up Abelardos, same basic menu as every place in town but it's always good and they don't mess around with the bacon like some other places.

Kapaun Coastal??? It was a lousy dirty gas station where a bunch of east side daddy's money douches would hang out. It sucked.
Also Southeast high is a dump and they're wise to move it before that area turns into a piling heap of urban decay in the coming years.

Have any of you ever been to a Wranglers/Wingnuts game that had to be stopped before completion for the fireworks? Nothing says Wichita more than fireworks with 2 outs in the top of the 7th of a 6-6 game.

What are the best things to do?
Is Old Town a fun place to be? or should I find some place else to Pak and stuff?
Do I have to support the Shockers?
Never been to the riverfest, how is that?
Good place for dates?
Help me out guys!!!

Hey guys, I'm moving to Wichita after I graduate this year, and I have questions.If you like to golf there's plenty of courses to play at. Other than that it's your typical Midwestern drink, movies, softball/kickball flair.

Oldtown is okay and would probably be cooler if you got a place downtown. I highly suggest always getting a DD or a cab if you decide to live elsewhere.
Riverfest is very white trashy and pathetic.
Shox are a personal preference. I like.
Self medicate with booze that you're living here and work hard to get a transfer to a bigger better place.

Old town can be fun, my preference is to stay away from the club-y-er places. Check out The Anchor, Public, and the Pumphouse if you want to do some patio sitting.
You don't have to support commuter-U if you don't want to.
Riverfest's trashiness is most of its appeal.
The Warren movie theaters are arguably one of the better things in the city, date city that is.

One of the top two bbq places I've ever eaten at, if you do a search of Julius' on this blog you might find about a dozen KCers pitching a holy fit about bbq based on a post I made about Julius Rib Cage. Anyway Julius' used to have a second location deep in the hood, 13th and Oliver to be exact. Next time you go mix the hot and the mild sauces. :lick:

Don't let Eastborough fool you. Its nothing but a buncha snobs who think they're their own city.
Sure they have a cop in an over-priced vehicle, but they rely on the city of Wichita for all other emergency services, water, sewer, schools etc.
It's just a pretentious sub-division with finer homes.
I recall an incident in the late 80s where they tried to block Douglas through their little snob town, and Wichita like a boss said unt-uh if you want emergency services. They complied quickly.

I can attest, that though I don't like Heroes in general, that burger he mentioned is pretty rough ridin' good.:horrorsurprise: :frown:You don't like Heroes, Trim?Was in town looking for apartments the past 3 days.

Wow, this could be the most difficult Kansas Mentors project yet.
Luke, going forward, you don't like Heroes.
Is Heroes one of the non Trim friendly places in Old Town?
It's the Kite's of Old Town.

What are your predetermined parameters? It's important to have those, because you don't want to end up with the oscar Weber of apartments.

$1000 dollars is the cutoff, at least for the first year. We want at least two bedrooms with an open kitchen to the living room. We looked at about 10 different places and the Villas was the best in terms of being new, nice, and a good location in reference to where I'll be working.Haven't given them a deposit yet so go for it.holy crap, I shouldn't have given directional hints :cheers:It's on the east side, close to rock road, but not on rock road.Since we weren't able to go look at apartments after Spring Break, we just decided to go with an apartment complex for the first year.

Theres not a ton of good places for rent downtown unfortunately. Innis Station can be manageable if you can score a spot in the private parking garage. Eaton Place is pretty good, but kinda dumpy in some places. Theres some converted lofts on 430 S Commerce that I friend of mine used to live in that as I recall, she liked pretty well.
Just live somewhere and save up to buy a house somewhere, the rental market in Wichita is way overpriced and houses are cheap.

It was rentable by regular people in 2008. I'm not sure about now. It's pretty awesome inside, especially the apt on the left wing. It's two stories and has a bunch of awesome hardwood and a walkway/ balcony thing overlooking the living room. It's like something out of Harry Potter. Very cool.
The I'm guessing the other wing is similar as well. The middle apartments are neat, but not as cool.

You'd probably be able to catch a game or two, generally we play for like an hour and a half.6:00 PM Mondays in the grass field south of Koch Arena. Just started up for the season a week ago, we run as long as DST does.I host a pick-up game of Ultimate every Monday, you should check it out!
When and where?

Sim is also the easiest, not that that's a bad thing. Good learner course for sure. Played MacDonald the most. Not in the Wichita Public Courses but is still public is WSU's Braeburn, which while isn't the nicest, is still decently nice and a fun course and I've probably had some of my best shots and holes ever at that course.

Which public golf courses are the best? I qualify for the 18-23 season pass, so I will only have to pay $150, which is FREAKING AWESOME.
This link let's you see the packages for public golf course season passes.
http://www.golfwichita.com/Pages/SeasonPasses.aspx (http://www.golfwichita.com/Pages/SeasonPasses.aspx)
They're all great. Auburn Hills and MacDonald are the hardest, MacDonald is a bitch and I can't figure out why. I played Tex Consolver and Clapp the most because they are the easiest courses and the least busy although Consolver does a lot of tournaments. I shot my best score at Clapp. Sim is the best course, Auburn is nice but overrated, but it's crazy busy and if you have a slice its likely you'll either break a window or kill someone on 1 and 2.
The golfing in Wichita is unbelievable and no city of similar size or most bigger can match it. Even though Wichita has recently lost two very accessible courses in Echo Hills and Braeburn, there are other great courses in the area like Sierra Hills in far West Wichita; its an executive course that I played with my wife. Cherry Oaks in Cheney, and there are two amazing courses in Winfield. Wellington Golf Club and Pine Bay in south Wichita are quaint, they frequently have groupons. Pine Bay also has an island green. I miss golfing in Wichita and I now live across the street from a course.
Anyone know what WSU is doing with the land Braeburn sat on? :cry: I took a golf class at WSU and got to play the course for $10 a round.

Also, you could still take your family to Fantasea in Wichita, though I'm not sure you would want to.
:lol:
mrs. dave is from wichita, a large gas station chain in Omaha is called Fantasy's, she will drive out of her way to go to a different gas station because of the name. nfm.
I know this topic is a fairly old post but I just had to throw my 2 cents in for whatever they're worth! If you grew up on the south/southeast side of Wichita or in the lgbt community you called it Barnacle Bill's or Barnacle Bill's fantasea. Why? Well, if you called it just fantasea people were liable to confuse it or joke that you were talking about Fantasy... a gay bar at 31st on Hillside, which is still open.

A client brought me to a fundraiser event at the botanical gardens. Holy crap that place is great. It was a blast. Pretty sure I could never find it again though. :Crybaby:
I've only been to events there during the holiday lights. That entire area is nearly impossible to navigate.

We need a bbq spot for Saturday lunch before I get out of here. Booze required. The best I can think of is the patio at 2 brothers near College Hill.
Go get some Julius' and take it to JW's pool.

He looked pretty frazzled last night. JW, not Julius.
If he could time it right, I'd be down for Gooch to smoke a bunch and get pak'd there.

Didn't they recently open an independently owned barbecue joint somewhere near old town? I've not been, but I've seen people talking about it on social media. All I know is that it's one of those places with a gimmick bloody mary that comes with brisket or ribs as garnish.

I will still have the aforementioned guayaberas with me while in MHK for the next couple of days. I would be happy to drop them off with a responsible party if they are to be a Fattyfest item.

I drove up to Leavenworth last night after the SKC match to stock up on Kroger Fitness Water fitlat (not like mio but a cheaper but better tasting propel) and I brought a cooler to get Blue Bell Ice Cream. That shifty Dillon's only had one flavor of fitness water and Blue Bell is still recalled in Kansas and Missouri :curse:
I might have a hookup for you on the ice cream.

Quote
We would like to let our most loyal customers and fans know...
From our CEO and President Paul Kruse
We’re committed to doing the 100 percent right thing, and the best way to do that is to take all of our products off the market until we are confident that they are all safe. At every step, we have made decisions in the best interest of our customers based on the evidence we had available at the time. We have brought in one of the world’s most respected food safety microbiologists to inspect our plants and systems to help us get to the bottom of this issue.
Through further internal testing, we learned today that Listeria monocytogenes was found in an additional half gallon of ice cream in our Brenham facility. While we initially believed this situation was isolated to one machine in one room, we now know that was wrong. We need to know more to be completely confident that our products are safe for our customers.
As Blue Bell moves forward, we are implementing a procedure called "test and hold" for all products made at all of our manufacturing facilities. This means that all products released will be tested first and held for release to the market only after the tests show they are safe.
In addition to the “test and hold” system, Blue Bell is implementing additional safety procedures and testing including:
-Expanding our already robust system of daily cleaning and sanitizing of equipment
-Expanding our system of swabbing and testing our plant environment by 800 percent to include more surfaces
-Sending samples daily to a leading microbiology laboratory for testing
-Providing additional employee training
At this point, we cannot say with certainty how Listeria was introduced to our facilities. We continue to work with our team of experts to eliminate this problem.
We urge consumers who have purchased Blue Bell products to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with any concerns or questions should call 1-866-608-3940 Monday – Friday 8 a.m. – 8 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. CST or go to www.bluebell.com for the most up-to-date information.
We are heartbroken about this situation and apologize to all of our loyal Blue Bell fans and customers. Our entire history has been about making the very best and highest quality ice cream, and we intend to fix this problem. We want enjoying our ice cream to be a source of joy and pleasure, never a cause for concern, so we are committed to getting this right.

It has this weird aftertaste to it, which also possibly could be just like Iowans. I don't have the personal experience to validate that theory. Tastes like they use chalk instead of cream.

How sketchy is it around Wichita State's campus at night? My fiance will be taking some evening/night classes during the first semester and she is scared about it. She thinks I will need to take her to and from the classes.
I think on campus parking is probably ok, but just off campus...

I'm just speaking about a bad neighborhood that has a lot more crime at night than during the day.
Wow, what do ya know.
Police investigating three separate incidents of guns fired
Wichita police are investigating three separate shootings that happened within an hour’s time early Sunday.
The first shooting was at 3:30 a.m. when officers responded to a call that shots were fired at Roseberry and Hillside, according to Sgt. Bob Gulliver, spokesman for the Wichita Police Department. At that shooting, several shell casings were found at the location and a 20-year-old woman told officers that she and a friend were driving in the area when an unknown person began shooting at them. The woman sustained minor injuries from broken glass. No suspect was located.
At 4 a.m., officers responded to shots fired in the 3300 block of South I-135. Two men, ages 20 and 27, told officers there were driving onto I-135 when a black 2000s model Dodge Charger sped past them and fired a shot at their vehicle, striking the driver’s side window. The 20-year old sustained minor injuries from flying glass. The shooter was not located, Gulliver said.
At 4:30 a.m., a drive-by was reported in the 600 block of South Belmont when a 35-year-old woman reported she was wakened after hearing several gunshots. She discovered a bullet hole in her front door and two additional bullet holes on the residence. A 13-year-old girl and a 46-year-old man were in the house at the time. There was no suspect information.

Mrs. Gooch and I headed down to waaay south Wichita to try this fabled chicken at Krispy's Chicken. It is quite the drive from my house in NW Wichita or as Trim always referred to it as Hutch :driving:. Pulled in to the parking lot and as you can see they really rolled the red carpet out for us with a spot right in front of the door. The building was much nicer than I expected. They really polished up a turd here.
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1167.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq630%2Fmichaelvannatta21%2F20150722_185534_zps3r8gnutq.jpg%7Eoriginal&hash=b66ba0ed9613aa78956d1cb0ad8497ad5a83b205)
As we entered the building we were greeted by a blast of very hot chicken grease filled air. I did smell delicious but it was uncomfortably warm in there. As we perused the menu the Asian girl behind the counter seemed a bit uneasy that we did not know exactly what we wanted. We were there for chicken of course we were just trying to decide on sides. She was very friendly and said just yell at me when you are ready to order and proceeded to go to the window to pack an order. We both settled on a two piece white. I'm a breast man what can I say? Sides were a large mashed potatoes & gravy and large fried okra. The girl proceeded to tell us it would be about a five minute wait for chicken. She seemed overly apologetic about this wait. I told her no worries as I knew we would be getting super fresh chicken. The price? $12 and change. As I was being rung up for this an Asian dude behind the counter came up apologized yet again and said it would be a five minute wait. Again I assured him this was not an issue.
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1167.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq630%2Fmichaelvannatta21%2F20150722_183016_zpsnhbsacwc.jpg%7Eoriginal&hash=7a8969c184f47c39f8e67efbb0959f5328b2805d)
As for the fellow clientele in there. They seemed to be strictly "south siders". This is clearly not a "destination" dinning location. This guy with the tear drop tattoo did not seem to be as receptive as I was to the five minute wait. He did however stick it out which lead me to believe that this chicken might be legit.
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1167.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq630%2Fmichaelvannatta21%2F20150722_183908_zps5ipvbmfc.jpg%7Eoriginal&hash=de733e2a62433aedd683a424d775281d0bf3d6f4)
The mashed potatoes and gravy was a one large container with the gravy on top of the scoop of taters. This concerned me greatly as I thought the gravy to potatoes ratio would be to heavily skewed to the potatoes side. It was not and you could really control the ratio on how you maneuvered your spoon. This would obviously only works in a his and hers situation and you did not mind eating out of the same container as your partner. The gravy was a peppered white gravy. Very tasty. The okra was very bland.
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1167.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq630%2Fmichaelvannatta21%2F20150722_184207_zps3apiu3yw.jpg%7Eoriginal&hash=da9ea087d35d0c9bb744d217ef68aa28c8fed5d8)
Now for the chicken. It was served smoking ass hot in a paper boat type container. This is a terrible but frugal choice by the management. This does not allow the chicken to breath and caused a soggy crust condition as I had to wait for this to cool before eating. The crust is a light batter not heavily seasoned. In my opinion it needs more spice. It is very similar to Church's. The chicken itself was moist and generally good. You could contribute the moistness more to the fact that this chicken had come directly out of the fryer to the table. You can tell they do not marinate their chicken.

Ok, so here is my best Pete Kansas Ave Mexican joint review impersonation.
Mrs. Gooch and I headed down to waaay south Wichita to try this fabled chicken at Krispy's Chicken. It is quite the drive from my house in NW Wichita or as Trim always referred to it as Hutch :driving:. Pulled in to the parking lot and as you can see they really rolled the red carpet out for us with a spot right in front of the door. The building was much nicer than I expected. They really polished up a turd here.
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1167.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq630%2Fmichaelvannatta21%2F20150722_185534_zps3r8gnutq.jpg%7Eoriginal&hash=b66ba0ed9613aa78956d1cb0ad8497ad5a83b205)
As we entered the building we were greeted by a blast of very hot chicken grease filled air. I did smell delicious but it was uncomfortably warm in there. As we perused the menu the Asian girl behind the counter seemed a bit uneasy that we did not know exactly what we wanted. We were there for chicken of course we were just trying to decide on sides. She was very friendly and said just yell at me when you are ready to order and proceeded to go to the window to pack an order. We both settled on a two piece white. I'm a breast man what can I say? Sides were a large mashed potatoes & gravy and large fried okra. The girl proceeded to tell us it would be about a five minute wait for chicken. She seemed overly apologetic about this wait. I told her no worries as I knew we would be getting super fresh chicken. The price? $12 and change. As I was being rung up for this an Asian dude behind the counter came up apologized yet again and said it would be a five minute wait. Again I assured him this was not an issue.
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1167.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq630%2Fmichaelvannatta21%2F20150722_183016_zpsnhbsacwc.jpg%7Eoriginal&hash=7a8969c184f47c39f8e67efbb0959f5328b2805d)
As for the fellow clientele in there. They seemed to be strictly "south siders". This is clearly not a "destination" dinning location. This guy with the tear drop tattoo did not seem to be as receptive as I was to the five minute wait. He did however stick it out which lead me to believe that this chicken might be legit.
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1167.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq630%2Fmichaelvannatta21%2F20150722_183908_zps5ipvbmfc.jpg%7Eoriginal&hash=de733e2a62433aedd683a424d775281d0bf3d6f4)
The mashed potatoes and gravy was a one large container with the gravy on top of the scoop of taters. This concerned me greatly as I thought the gravy to potatoes ratio would be to heavily skewed to the potatoes side. It was not and you could really control the ratio on how you maneuvered your spoon. This would obviously only works in a his and hers situation and you did not mind eating out of the same container as your partner. The gravy was a peppered white gravy. Very tasty. The okra was very bland.
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1167.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fq630%2Fmichaelvannatta21%2F20150722_184207_zps3apiu3yw.jpg%7Eoriginal&hash=da9ea087d35d0c9bb744d217ef68aa28c8fed5d8)
Now for the chicken. It was served smoking ass hot in a paper boat type container. This is a terrible but frugal choice by the management. This does not allow the chicken to breath and caused a soggy crust condition as I had to wait for this to cool before eating. The crust is a light batter not heavily seasoned. In my opinion it needs more spice. It is very similar to Church's. The chicken itself was moist and generally good. You could contribute the moistness more to the fact that this chicken had come directly out of the fryer to the table. You can tell they do not marinate their chicken. They should as this is key for great fried chicken IMO. All in all it is an adequate piece of fried chicken. The sun was getting low in the sky so we quickly finished our meal and got the eff out, you know cause crime and all. :Carl:

"Running a restaurant isn't a sprint. It's a marathon," he said as he was wrapping silverware at the table closest to the kitchen. The small restaurant was partitioned into a modest dining room, giving the majority of the space to the kitchen in the back that was currently putting my sampler together. It was in response to a regular, who was pleased with her food today and commended my choice of meal. She also asked me what caused me to stop in. Obviously, I couldn't reveal that I was collecting restaurant reviews like a 14 year-old Brad collected Pokémon cards, so I mumbled something about noticing the place after having driven by it a few times.
In reality, I've driven past it hundreds of times over the past four years but have finally reached the point where I've run out of other places to go. The fact of the matter is that seafood is still something that Wichita approaches trepidatiously, especially when it's not sushi or a high-end restaurant where we can use the price as a means to assure ourselves that it's fresh. In this respect, Pirate Pete's should be commended for their commitment to the cheap seafood shack; while they're easy to come by in other parts of the country, Pete's and Wichita Seafood Company are really the only two that manage to fill the gap between Newport Grill and Long John Silver's.
If anything, it gives them more motivation to produce a quality product, and they hedge their bets by largely focusing on the seafood and the preparation methods that they know they can do: this means lots of catfish and Pollock, and lots of frying. LOTS of frying. On the one hand, they are able to fry admirably well under varying circumstances - the thin slices of Pollock were plenty crispy in their panko-crusted exterior, while the eye-poppingly large catfish fillet was treated to a simple cornmeal coating before meeting the heat. They were both very well prepared and plenty fresh, though the lack of salt to either made both taste flat.
The freshly-made onion rings were almost as large as the catfish, and even though the onion started to slip out of its crusty exterior, I was still a fan. Coleslaw got the job done. In a respite from everything else, the grilled zucchini, squash, and broccoli made me feel a tiny bit better about eating all of that fried food, though really the vegetables has as much oil as the rest of the meal. It ended up being a stomach achingly large amount of grease. The vegetables were heavily seasoned, which I appreciated.
With a name like Pirate Pete's it's difficult to take the restaurant seriously, but they certainly don't cut corners when it comes to the product. It's mostly fried, and needs to be seasoned a little bit more, but barring that, Pirate Pete's is a very viable option when you're looking for some seafood without having to dress up and make reservations.

Specialties
Pirate Pete's Seafood is a small restaurant that specializes in Catfish and Pollock. We have Chicken for those who aren't quite a fan of fish. We would love for you to come in and have a seat in our recently remodeled restaurant, which, is now also under new management as of 2014.
History
Established in 2014.
We recently took over Ownership and changed out the Management of this Location. We chose to keep the name and location along with several of the recipes. We had to update some of our menu items; however, Tax is Now Included in all prices on our menu.

Now that girl with the breathalyzer issue will be able to fly SW direct to St. Louis, and those needing to go to Phoenix can take SW instead of even grosser Allegiant.

That's a great deal. It's always been gross to fly SW to Chicago and Dallas when there's AA flights, especially when they're only 4500 Avios.This is correct. This is a zero net affect to the Gooches. SWA sucks ball(s)

Hilarious, they are doing the same thing in Des Moines but the news is covering it as a positive "NEW SERVICE TO ST. LOUIS!!!" It is stunning how two cities so similar view themselves so differently.

The great thing is, unlike some very overrated large Midwest cities supposedly famous for bbq, you can go to several different places on your visit and be happy. Much better choices than a metro area of 2 million people with 3 places to go, one of which is actually from Oklahoma.

I really like two brothers, I was surprised how much I liked it. Pig in pig out is my least favorite. I think they suck but I realise they have won contests and a lot of people like them.

If this did happen it's going to be very easy to figure out who did it by the sale listing. There's nothing listed on Zillow right now close enough to that house though. I can tell you, in that neighborhood, 25th and Amidon area, there are black people there and even more brown people so that letter doesn't make much sense. It took me two minutes to find the exact address.

Had to be omitted to the hospital for IV's and then could only eat NutriCal out of a toothpaste tube for a week. Have never eaten their slop since until about a year ago When I went with Mrs Gooch so she would shut the hell up about it. Same garbagy crap. Their locations are slowly going away one by one. The day the last one closes I will pop bottles and light a blunt in celebration. eff that place forever.

Have never eaten their slop since until about a year ago When I went with Mrs Gooch so she would shut the hell up about it. Same garbagy crap. Their locations are slowly going away one by one. The day the last one closes I will pop bottles and light a blunt in celebration. eff that place forever.
It is absolute crap.

My mom used to make a similar loose meat sandwich when I was a kid and she called them made rights.
Never knew where she got that name.

gas station bfast za was literally all I had time for. I left MHK at 6 this morning. I had to pick some necessary items up and make it back to work to meet a deadline. I've been meaning to reach out and plan a dinnerPAK, just haven't had many open weekends.

Wichita businessman Steven says he is subject of federal gambling probe
SUBSCRIBER CONTENT: Feb 14, 2017, 1:26pm CST Updated: Feb 14, 2017, 4:13pm CST
KELLEN JENKINS/ WBJ
Wichita businessman Brandon Steven told the Wichita Eagle Tuesday that he is the subject of a federal investigation over poker and his attempts to land a casino license. Steven and an investment group attempted and failed last year to obtain a casino license under the name Castle Rock Casino. He also is well-known for his work as a professional poker player.
Wichita businessman Brandon Steven told the Wichita Eagle Tuesday that he is the subject of a federal investigation over poker and his attempts to land a casino license.
The Eagle reported Tuesday that one of its staffers, whom it did not identify, and the newspaper received letters Tuesday from the U.S. Attorney's office informing them that their phone communications with Steven were intercepted last year under federal law.
The letters, required by law, do not implicate the staffer and the newspaper in the probe. They are required as notification that the calls were intercepted by federal investigators.
And then later Tuesday afternoon, the Eagle reported that former state senator Michael O'Donnell's calls also have been intercepted by the feds. The Steven family has financially contributed to O'Donnell's senate campaign in the past.
Wichita Mayor Jeff Longwell said Monday he expects action from the U.S. Attorney's office on the Steven probe in the next two weeks, amid reports the city is doing its own internal investigation involving the alleged connection of off-duty police officers to Steven. Longwell would not confirm the investigation or any action taken thus far.
Steven and an investment group attempted and failed last year to obtain a casino license under the name Castle Rock Casino. He also is well-known for his work as a professional poker player.
Steven is a partner in several Wichita car dealerships, the family's chain of Genesis Health Clubs and other businesses.

Brandon Steven was playing high-stakes poker against Beverly Lange, a Texas woman at the televised World Series of Poker in 2013, when she decided to go all in with $435,000 in chips.
“Would it surprise you if I had a king?” Steven asked her. Steven was telling her that he had kings, which would beat the jacks in her hand. Or he could be bluffing.
“No,” Lange said calmly.
“It wouldn’t surprise you at all,” he said, taken aback by her response. “What do you do in Austin?”
Lange said she ran pom-pom drill team competitions and camps for young girls.
“Really,” Steven said, and then, as if trying to see if she was on his level. “You play a lot of poker?”
Steven started mumbling aloud the possible hands she could have. She couldn’t have an ace, could she?
“I’m really not that good of a poker player,” Lange said. “Don’t try to figure out, you know, what I should’ve done, because what you would expect me to do is probably not something I would do. Does that help you?”
Steven laughed: either she had made a mistake, or Steven was being played. “It helps me; it helps me. I know I have the worst hand, and I’m probably still going to call,” Steven said.
“If you have the worst hand, I definitely want you to call,” Lange said.
But seconds later, Steven folded with the kings that would’ve won. “A dagger to the heart of Brandon Steven,” the TV commentator said. Although Steven lost, the hand showed how savvy he had become at high-stakes poker.

I would much rather have a high end longbone/seafood place. Also, concerning the longbones, there will soon be a place opening in Winfield that is supposed to have tremendous longbones. I know who the guy is that is opening it and he is sparing no expense in putting this venture together.

I saved a lot of lives there guys, there was a lifeguard station at the kiddie area where unsuspecting kiddos would end up in 4 ft of water and just look up at you with panic in their eyes, I must have hauled a thousand of them out of that 6x6 area, never had to make a save anywhere else in the park other than a few little snapper- heads that would venture too deep down the side of the wave pool.
In reading the article, it sounded like there was a lot of late night sex'n going on once the park closed. :fatty:

Scotch and Sirloin, if you want to teach your kids about the pros and cons of high dollar hookers.Pretty sure the hookers are gone now. Sonny is out and the place is being run by new management. They remodeled the crap out of it and are pushing a more business by day Family by night atmosphere. It actually looks pretty nice in there now. I bet the new manager went thru the place with a black light and was :sdeek:

Kroger purchased Dillons in the early 90s. When I worked at Dillons in high school we got to buy stock options and it was Kroger stock.

Is it best/easiest to park on the street, or are their lots?
https://downtownwichita.org/get-around/parking
There are lots close to the arena that charge a fee and then lots further away that are free (but will fill up early). There are also a few on street parking spots but not real close to the arena.

street parking and walking is 100% fine if you have functioning legs
That's definitely not a problem, but I know that its still supposed to be pretty cold and _FANw is not a huge fan of hanging out in the cold too long.
Ideally I want to park somewhere close to where we'll eat and the arena. It looks like that area north of the arena will be the best spot for that I have no issue paying 10-15 to park.

There is a big free parking lot (Coleman Parking Lot/Rotary Plaza) at 2nd & St. Francis just north of the Arena. It's a short walk, close to Old Town, Bite me BBQ is right there.

Someone would have to update on how things stand now because the restaurant changes slightly frequently, but the spot in the Ambassador hotel just a bit left of your screenshot is usually good. We've pak'd there often, including immediately prior to walking into the arena for wwe smackdown on my last night living there.

You'd still be able to park anywhere and walk among any of those things.
You could also see if the trolley thing will be running (q-line?) and expand your options down to Delano and go to Monarch and others.

Anyone who would eat at Playa Azul when District Taqueria is right across the street is not to be trusted.I don't know what that is, I've been gone for five years though, did it exist during the halcyon years of Wichita and gE?

I don't know about now but there used to always be panhandlers at Rock and Kellogg, always, all four corners.

Yeah, he was arrested last week, last I saw they were awaiting extradition. I believe he was from Fresno and that wasn't the first time he swatted someone.

In a better world than the one we live in, the cop would be held accountable, but I’ve given up on thinking that ever might happen.
They've already presented the plausible deniability of responsibility, a.k.a. blame the dead guy., nothing changes, more innocent people get murdered.

The problem is the number of people who jump to blame anyone other than the guy who did the shooting. It was the guys fault for lowering his hands. It was the guy making a prank phone call's (which, is what this was, the police are hiding behind "we got fooled by a prank phone call so we killed a guy") fault.
I think the guy who made the call deserves more blame than the cop does.

I remember being in school sometime and learning about Greenwich mean time, and having a hard time reconciling the pronunciation in my head.

I don't think it's under consideration, I think it's been a done deal since the first of the week. Per New Orleans (where the team is coming from) officials
:thumbsup:
Post by: Shooter Jones on September 06, 2018, 02:06:24 PM
The PCL averages about 7k attendance per game. The Baby Cakes (the team relocating from New Orleans) dipped below 4k per game and interest was lacking. I believe the Wranglers averaged less than 2k (or roughly around it) per game their last few seasons.
Really hope it's a great facility, but the city will need to embrace them for years and years, not just the first few months or even years.

I've lived in three similar sized metro areas; Wichita, Portland, ME, and Des Moines and I've seen minor league baseball in all three. Des Moines and Portland each have well established, local affiliations, Wichita, most of the time did not. They were only affiliated with the Royals for a short time before the Royals moved them to Arkansas. They were affiliated with the Angels for most of that time. When you go to a minor league ballpark with a local affiliation, it makes all the difference. At I-Cubs games, the stands are filled with Cubs jerseys, same with Sea Dogs and Paw Sox games. I lived in Portland before they were the Red Sox AA affiliate, ironically enough they were the Marlins affiliate, and that's when the Marlins were competitive but no one cared nearly as much, there was no community connection. I'm sorry Wichita, you'll get a boost from the stadium from a year or two, but the affiliation will eventually kill this franchise.

I'm happy for Wichita, I'm glad they're building a new stadium. This AAA team will fail, for a similar reason in which that failed in New Orleans, the affiliation.
Agreed.
But also, the MiLB player development deals are only required to be 2 years long, although deals last much longer usually, there is constant shuffling of affiliations. Either way, if they can do really well for 3-5 years, it's very possible they could become an attractive option for other orgs, but I agree that long term with the Marlins will fail.

Jesus, that's brutal. At least their affiliate is in the same division as the Royals.
I want to make fun of Wichita for this, as I laid into the Tulsa Drillers leadership for being a happy little brother to OKC in a AAA/AA relationship with the Dodgers and not being proactive with a great new stadium when a AAA team was available. However, given this is being driven by regionalization of the minors & Wichita securing the Twins as their AA affiliate, I have a feeling any gloating might bite me in the ass in the next couple weeks.
I do have some hope as this all seems master planned, but all the regional teams except the Rockies have Texas League affiliates already & the Rockies dropped the Drillers even after Tulsa modeled the new stadium facilities to match Coors field.

Does it matter? The success of the franchise will be about how cheaply and lol people can pak at these things.
Other than bragging rights, no it doesn't matter, you're right 90% of the attendees don't care if it's AA or AAA. Other than getting the rare superstar rehab assignment AAA teams don't really have a decided advantage. Most AA stadiums are smaller but that doesn't even matter as much in Wichita, I'm guessing they wouldn't have built a smaller stadium if they knew they were getting an AA team, because of the ABC Tournament.
The best minor league park, and the best minor league game atmosphere I've ever been to is an AA park. The beautiful Hadlock Field in Portland, Maine.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say a bicyclist is dead after a woman struck him with her van as he crossed a Wichita street and then apparently shot him.
...
Wichita police chief Gordon Ramsay said the victim was either riding or walking his bicycle when he was hit Friday afternoon. Ramsay said the initial reports were that the suspect got out to shoot the man after the crash. Ramsay said police would know definitively if he was shot after an autopsy. The man’s name wasn’t immediately released.

Seneca and Pawnee
We used to call that the greatest fast food corner ever. Taco Grande right to the north and there used to be a Nu Way just to the west.

After you or your dog gets their cut you can strut over to Spangles and go hard. Was that Western Steakburger and garlic fries down w/ a premium sig’ male genitals.’I decided to swing by a Spangles the other day for a screwdriver slush because I had some time to kill and wanted to experience the absurdity. Probably won't do again but you only live once y'know?

This has been trending on Twitter this morning. People don't seem to think Wichita is the third best BBQ scene in the country.

If you’re ever down near college hill and get a hankering for Chipotle, skip the line and go local at Kiko’s at Central and Volutsia. Chicano street food with an awesome vibe.
They also have their original location in Newton.

Georges French Bistro is pretty great $2 mussels during happy hour as well. It’s just west of Oliver along the north side of central. Do recommend.
Speaking of Georges, I'm probably done with Chesters. They went cheap on some things and it just isn't the same now. :frown:

Damn straight. I took one look at that POA/S and knew immediately that AC hadn’t blown ice cold since 1999, and I’m guessing the last time he tried to recharge the Freon was maybe 2015.

Chevy Luv pickups were made by Isuzu. My wife had one and it worked great, except we burned up the clutch in it twice. The shop owner told me that Isuzu made the clutches light-duty so they would go out if ppl tried to tow too heavy or overloaded them.

You'll have to walk a little bit, there's nothing on that part of downtown. Closest good places is Delano BBQ, on the other side of the river and Avi like a block away. All of the other places are on the other side of downtown.

I was watching the KU/Baylor game last night and they showed Chip and Joanna Gaines several times and, knowing that Joanna was originally from KS i was thinking "hmmm i wonder if she's there as a ku fan" so i looked it up and turns out no, she went to and graduated from Baylor, BUT she is from Wichita. Didn't know that! Also her dad is a Stevens. For those not from Wichita there is like a group of Lebanese families that like, basically own that town. The Stevens own Spangles for example. But basically if your last name is Farha or Cholmia or Stevens or Jabarra then good chance you're not more distant than 2nd cousins from one of those very wealthy families.

Minor nitpick but it's Steven, not Stevens, never plural.

Yes the Koch family is the most wealthy sure, but as a wichitan you don't really see that fingerprint unless you or a family member work at koch industries. But if you want to go get fast food or buy a car or join a gym or go to an optomitrist or dentist or have cosmetic surgery then there's a good chance you're having an interaction with one of those families. So yes while all of them combined still would only have a fraction of the money that Koch as, they are more a part of the average citizen's everyday life.

But ... why?maybe a huge tax write off for someone? I mean if Barnacle Bill's FantaSea went belly up, I don't know how this thing will make it. There are like 30 days every year when it is nice to be on a beach in Kansas.

Iowa City is affordable? Dang that seems like it could be a really nice place to live
I mean, as far as cities in Iowa and the plains states go, no it isn't, not even a little bit. Cities the country, sure Iowa City is affordable. I'm really confused about it's inclusion on the list until I scroll down and see that it's from a twitter account so this list is completely made up. Cedar Rapids is far more affordable.

Living in Rapid City, SD wouldn't be bad outside of not being near any other metropolitan areas.
It's hot as eff and cold as eff, but it's a huo, skip away from Sturgis.

On one hand, it is affordable to live in Wichita. On the other hand, you have to live in Wichita.

You mean other than circumventing open meeting laws to force the fire chief to lay off firefighters?

The behind the scenes situation is that the union boss set up Chief Snow to set the stage for running her out.

The behind the scenes situation is that the union boss set up Chief Snow to set the stage for running her out.
She said that Wu did not tell her to cut any jobs but that came weeks after the investigation started. Why wouldn't Snow just say that at the start? Why would Snow cut 42 firefighters without being told that she had to? The union chief's complaint was against Lily Wu, not the Chief. He said either the mayor is lying or the chief is, but again the question is why would the chief cut 42 positions without being told? If Wu doesn't want her to cut those jobs she can very easily tell her not to, the chief works for the mayor, not vice versa. Also if Snow lied on Wu, and it was caught on tape, Wu can and should fire Snow for cause, that hasn't happened and I bet you that it won't happen.

Union boss filed the complaint and the investigation started. I would assume all parties were told not to speak until the investigation ran it's course.The chief lied about all that.

Why would Snow cut 42 firefighters without being told that she had to?Have 42 firefighters been cut? These positions were funded by a temporary grant, once the grant is gone the money has to be found in the budget, either by raising taxes or cutting something. The city council votes on the budget, the department heads, in this case the Fire Chief, makes budget requests for additional staff.

The mayor cannot fire anybody. The city council and mayor make policy decisions and the city manager runs the day to day operations, such as personnel decisions. I am sure the Chief's days are numbered but it won't be the mayor firing her. To me this has looked like a setup from the start. The union boss secretly recorded their conversation and wasted no time filing the ethics complaint, seemingly without notifying or consulting the chief. Shady as crap (unions are bad, actually)

lol, at Kirstie Alley capping about many Hollywood celebrities going to Wichita to cruise Douglas, when she just meant herself.
I wonder when Douglas went from so white to so black. I lived in Wichita for 7 years and I don't know if I saw a that many white people on Douglas in totality. Even though, ironically enough Kirstie Alley lived in her parents house on Douglas until the very end.

If the 1982 date was correct then Kristie Alley wasn't even a "big" star yet then. According to her Wikipedia at that point she had been on a game show and had some small parts in TV shows. It wasn't until the late 80's that she made it "Big".
Are you talking star power or fat power?
