Need some info about the Manhattan area

[Dr Rick Daris]

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

somebody better notify all the people currently at bluemont that they aren't a school.

I think Manhattan is a great place for a family. As you'd expect, the University is the life of the town. Understandable if KSU athletic games wouldn't really be your thing, but there are a lot of events/shows at McCain and art exhibits that roll through the beach museum. Outdoor concerts in city park are regular throughout the summer, the Symphony in the Flint Hills and Country Stampede (if those are your style) take place annually. Running/Hiking on the Konza Prairie is amazing, I really miss that. Also Pillsbury Crossing is a cool place in the summer to go.

There is very good food/drink establishments relative to the size of the town imo.  And not just college type places that you would get at any college town.

Just not a private school.

i cannot fathom the thought of getting a job in mhk and then choosing to live out by wamego. i mean clean slate and all why would you choose this. i don't get it.

[8manpick]

Definitely live in manhattan. Assuming you want to be in a more family oriented/less collegey area, just live west of college ave. If you have daughters, make sure to move a long way from all college towns before they hit high school. Wamego would be too close.

[steve dave]

or raise your daughters not to be sluts.  one or the other.  

[Kat Kid]

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. 

It is an amazing feeling.

[BleedEMAW]

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

Wrong  Wamego is great!

i'll go with your idea here steve.  I'm kinda excited.  I'm from southern kansas and never really trolled much into the northern part of the state.  I don't mind living in Manhattan it's just that my wife is a small town girl so i'm trying to make a compromise here, I should probably just do the husker thing and beat her up and tell her where she will live.

Bergmann is the best elementary school. Don't listen to all the violin playing weirdos from AA.

eff Bergman. What was the deal with the sinks being outside of the bathrooms? Is it because Bergman'ers are disgusting and don't wash their hands unless subjected to public humiliation?

[pissclams]

bergman is loaded with pussies and hoes.  eff bergman, that's what i say.  i hate bergman.

You could always live in the Riley County School District (3A), that's typically where all the people who think Manhattan is to big city (  ) send their kids, except there isn't really a town, riley is crap, leonardville is crap, but it's an easy 15-25 minute drive to any side of manhattan depending where out there you live

lee longhorns more or less run the entire town.  also lol @ the idea of being able to live in mhk and voluntarily choosing to live in wamego instead.  jfc.


probably should give some thought to the idea that if you have children (you shouldn't, bad person) and they end up growing up in mhk, then they'll be townies.

Some classic Bergman envy in this thread. 

Don't you losers have orchestra practice in that little preschool shack behind the school tonight.

Love townie threads, especially since I was never a townie anywhere

Wouldn't it be amazing to be a Manhattan townie? I think it would be.

[SkinnyBenny]

It is.  My God, so good.

JFC, you know you're old when half of the schools in your home town didn't exist when you were there. The elite did go to Eugene Field (not me).

Any AA Exhibitions alums?
