Need some info about the Manhattan area

[j@yh@wks]

I am being offered a job in Manhattan and could really use some info on the town.  I have two kids and am looking at the wamego area to live.  I've only been to Manhattan once for the interview so I really don't know much about it and would like to know some things, 

1. Is this a good place for a family
2.  Is there plenty to do
3.  How is the pheasant hunting
4. Does Steve Dave frequent the area (so we can fight)
5. where is the best place to find rental homes, preferably in the country

Thank you, that is all.

I grew up off of Highway 24 in between Manhattan and Wamego (Rock Creek School District). I think out there "in the country" was a great place to grow up. I think Rock Creek was a good school as well for grades 7-12. The Saint George grade school is practically brand new. Though when I was there for half a year it was still at the previous location.

I would say that area is a great place to grow up and is in the country. You'll also find a fair amount of Jayhawk pride in Wamego, should you choose to move there.

In general, the upland bird hunting is pretty damn good north of MHK in the Tuttle Creek wetlands.

Very good to hear, would hate to piss off my shorthaired pointer by moving someplace with no birds.

I live in nebraska now so this isn't really something i care about, but it would be nice to see at least one other jayhawk fan.

your shorthair will be happy.  it's nice having duck, quail, pheasant, and dove all within a short 10-15 minute drive from your front door.

I hear Ogden is a very family friendly place to live.

Not a dog hunt, but turkey is really good around Tuttle as well.

Don't let your kids go to Wamego for school.

[j@yh@wks]

If there in grade school....
Its kind of considered a private school among the locals known as Woodrow Wilson

[SkinnyBenny]

Meh, just bring 'em to Manhattan for school.  12 minutes each way.  The best private elementary in town is actually not Woodrow Wilson like Y_l-a would have you believe; the best is called Theodore Roosevelt.  But there are many private schools in the area you can choose from:

-WW
-TR
-Northview
-Bergmann
-Marlatt
-Lee
-Eugene Field (R.I.P.)
-Amanda Arnold
-Ogden
-Anthony
-Eisenhower
-Manhattan High

Srsly.  Flint Hills kids are super weird.

The Amanda Arnold school mascot is the Amanda Pandas.  If that isn't reason enough to send your kids there then I don't think we can be friends.
