plains claims that their main street is the "widest main street" in the USA or world or something. it's not really that wide so I don't think they have truly vetted their claim. they have a "wide main street" festival or dance or something every year where the hicks gather together and drink keystone light and what have you.

would assume sd does not want the grocery store to be successful in plains.

without it, meade will continue to be a booming metropolis with residents traveling in from near and far to shop. with it, there will be less malnourished adolescents in plains that would be better athletes and challenge his buffaloes.

I bet the store in Meade keeps those hayseeds from Plains in their place with a unyielding "No Out of Town Checks" policy.
Title: Re: Meade, KS update - ALERT
Post by: WonderMeal on December 30, 2014, 12:55:33 PM
Plains is full of hayseeds? Check out Meade, from this totally legit public radio website:

"The rainbow flag means different things to different people. To some, it's the symbol of the rainbow coalition, and stands for racial equality. For others, it's a symbol of gay pride. And to a 12-year-old boy, it was just a pretty flag that he gave as a gift to his parents. They run an Inn in Meade, Kansas, and they decided to run the flag out front. They got some surprising reactions from their neighbors. Barbara talks with JR Knight, the boy's father and owner of the Lakeway Hotel, about some not so colorful goings on about town."

Also, steve dave, I think the days of Southwestern Heights being Meade's whipping boy are over. The Buffaloes only won 24-21 this year.

I was passing through here on my way to KC from LA and dropped by for some lunch before hitting the road for another 8 hours.

This place isn't terrible for being in the middle of what seems like nowhere, but it wasn't super amazing either.

Their fries were alright, and the French Dip sandwich was acceptable.
However, their swiss burger seemed off. It just mostly tasted like a mechanically separated beef patty blended with pork, and took on the flavor and consistency of a hotdog. I'm not quite sure what was happening but I wasn't enjoying my meal as much as I wanted to.

If I pass by this area and stop by for food I'll just try to avoid their burgers I guess? I'm not sure it left an awesome impression on me.

Despite their questionable burgers, their service was actually very good.

I also got caught in a really lame speed trap on my way out of Meade and got a ticket for going ten over.

Ugh, I already greatly dislike you, Meade Kansas. Thanks for that.

Odder still is that the National Transportation Safety Board’s accidents database lists no record of a plane crash in Iowa at any time between Abdul’s St. Louis and Denver-area shows in 1992. There are only a handful of aircraft accidents, in fact, in the general vicinity during the timeframe between June 19, 1992, and June 22, 1992—in Meade, Kansas, in Rocky Ford, Colorado, in Brighton, Colorado, in Falcon, Colorado. None of them seem likely flyovers 30 to 40 minutes into such a trip. None of the descriptions in their accident reports remotely match Abdul’s story.

I’m not from Hays, but I went to Fort Hays for a couple years before transferring to K-State. I met Mrs. Hamburg there & she stayed a few more semesters finishing her degree, so I spent a lot of time back in Hays my junior & senior year too.
