2nd worst town in Kansas

[tdaver]

+1 Horton

Also Elwood.  Floods practically every other year, smells like fish rot, and has swarms of huge mosquitos

Burlingame.

It has an Allen County Community College extension campus.

Wow. That is definitely an RPI booster. An extension campus of a juco is going to catch the committee's eye.

Any Kansas town that you pronounce wrong (and then draw the wrath of a former native)

Including Kechi, Cheney, LeRoy, etc

I love little western Kansas towns, like a lot. Good people live there and most of them are K-State fans. That's worth a lot of points.

That list of some kids' league schools -- Sterling, Hillsboro, Lindsborg -- when I was a kid I dreamed of my parents moving us out there where we could farm and stuff. But nope. Stuck in the JC suburbs, which in some ways are completely awful and full of KU people.

Well, yeah, I think we can all agree JC suburbs are awful in their own special way.

Saul dropping gross bombs now.

Add Mulvane, KS to the list then. Has a Cowley County Community college office.

Cheney suffers from proximity to Coffeyville. But gets bonus points for not being a weirdo cult like Tyro.

Had a roomie in college that lived out in far western KS.  Had to drive 2hrs one way to go to freaking wal-mart.  I don't even.  I mean, we should set up a mission/self help clinic out there or something right? 

[jmlynch1]

and Wamego right? (with the CC extension thing)

[Saulbadguy]

Gas, KS.

When you drive by it on US-54 to another small, shitty KS town, someone in the car has to make the joke "We just passed Gas!"

[Saulbadguy]

Wamego has some redeeming qualities to it. I don't think they can be included. JMO.

And sounds like a body part only found in elderly female German immigrants. But does it hit the Bubbles Line?

[Saulbadguy]

Marion, KS

it sucks. Has an airport though.

[Mrs. Gooch]

Do any of these towns have a terrible smell? That is a requirement for any Coffeyville themed award.

Also, Mulvane is off the list just because they have Luciano's. 

[Saulbadguy]

I haven't read this entire thread, will do so when I get home...but

Lindsborg, KS

Sucks. Stupid red horses with peoples names on it.

Neodesha is the king of this.

I have a friend there and he can't iMessage me because he never has 3G and I'm the one literally living in BFE.

It is so great to see Mrs Gooch embrace her oily but poor heritage.

[Bloodfart]

A lot of these job offers for small-town Kansas doctors also sound like a good way to get murdered.

Yeah I guess my town is notorious for producing exceptionally smelly poopers also.   

[Saulbadguy]

Udall. Almost wiped out by a tornado. Drats.

I am pretty sure this is the one I meant in my post about giving ppl food poisoning

Oh man. We are also gonna need a side list of best "days" celebration. "Old Sailor and Soldiers" is nice because its proclaimed next to a huge roadside ditch that's always flooded and has a tire island, but Little Balkans Days is just a great WTF Kansas tradition.
