Anybody ever been to Kelly or Corning? What about Goff and Wetmore? For extremely small towns, Goff would probably have this thing in the bag.
I was reading through this thread and wondering if anyone would like mention Goff. Total shithole Appalachia. Makes Havensville look upscale.
But lets be honest here. Olathe wins. It's a heavily populated place to drive thru full of Targets, Wal-Marts, Lowes, Home Depots, Dicks and a big-ass outdoors store. With the exception of the new Mexican store on Santa Fe, there's nothing of interest in the most vanilla city in vanilla Johnson County.

Official word out of the Democrats: SE KS sucks, specifically Cherryvale, Galena and Columbus.
Hopefully this is something we can all, R and D alike, agree upon.

I'm from Cherryvale and can confirm it's not that great. However, it is like 5 miles from a clean lake and doesn't smell like  :flush:. There are worse places

Flush doesn't smell. Flush is a great little town. Doesn't belong in this thread.

That's too bad, but he really should have been smarter than posting something like that on a message board using his real name.

Well, it wasn't covered in oil and it had a rocket slide. So, that's like 1,000 percent better already.

That golf course is a confirmed shithole too.

And they tore down the most awesome rocket ship playground equipment to put up a stupid golf course.


Is that asphalt/concrete under 20 ft tall playground equipment?  Kids these days...pussification of America. #AstroCityUSA

Quote
Sheridan[4]   Logan County   1868   1870s   Townsite is on private property.

My uncle actually owns the land this town was on. Went out there with my dad one day, nothing is left except a couple spots you can see where dugouts were. Of course ben ji's dad brought a metal dector and hoped to find all kinds of cool stuff....but nope, just nails and random metal pieces.

It was basically a town for like 2 years where the railroad ended because they ran out of money.

Well I grew up in the most dangerous city in Kansas and then moved to the second most dangerous city in Kansas. I'm surprised I haven't been raped and murdered yet.

In the SEK, we don't accidentally reach adulthood. We earn it. Evolutionarily speaking, it's probably why we start procreating at such an early age. Thank god I grew up in that coffeyville/parsons/border triangle. It prepared me.
