Chetopa: Don't care; had pecans

Had to go back and see if Chetopa was mentioned.

What a horrible place.

For God's sakes, the town website is blank and "may be for sale by owner".

Peru, Kansas. 

Made up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peru%2C_Kansas

Had to do a couple of witness interviews there.  Was glad to get out of town when they were over.

you haven't lived until you've meandered the area of chautauqua, peru, niotaze, havana.

Fun fact: I am from Havana, KS. My grandparents and uncle still own a farm/land in the area. Btw, Coffeyville is the 2nd worse place in Kansas.

I was going to mention Chetopa, but I thought it was in Oklahoma.

All worse than Coffeyville.

They aren't real towns, though. You can drive right through them and not even realize it.

What qualifies as a "town" in this debate? They are all incorporated, I believe. Not sure if anyone still lives there or they are just populated with ghosts at this point.

TAlking about this area without mentioning Sedan is blasphemy. By far the best town in the region. Yes, I know this is a thread for crappy towns. Also, you can't bring up Chautauqua and leave out Elgin, a town "Too Tough to Die."

Sedan is the only real town in that area.

I don't know. A school, a post office, living breathing people that actually claim to live there, maybe? Some of these towns are just places where people live rural lives that happen to fall within the borders of a town that used to be.

I possess a wealth of knowledge on all the places in SEK. Chetopa does suck, but it isn't the worst.

No it's definitely Coffeyville. It's been the worst since I was a child. Was also there just a month ago so my opinion is up to date.

No 4 state fair and rodeo for me. Parents live 20 miles away. Was there playing a round of golf with a buddy.

This is about all that's left of the town my dad grew up in, Carneiro, KS.





We used to go there for family reunions and check out these rocks.

yes, it's galena.

Quote from: real life quote
Sinkholes from abandoned mines have plagued Galena for years. Three small, but deep, ones developed earlier this month near city hall, at a mobile home court and on a street.

i drove by that town one summer day and there was what looked like an impromptu, all mexican rodeo. it was in the early afternoon and there weren't any signs or decoration but hundreds of these rancheros were sitting on the corral fence watching dudes wrestle steers. looked extremely unsafe and awesome.

It's Ogden, guys.

Ogden is amazing. All your dreams can come true. Pawnshops, guns, whores, and used to be clutch for alcohol on a Sunday.
