How many of you have listed your home towns? I won't, because I am able to sort emotion from fact. And so I'll throw in a vote for Abilene.Abilene is a town of historical importance, and not just for Kansas, but for the country. As K-Staters we know it as the last stop on the fabled Chisolm Trail, where Texas ranchers drove their cattle to board the trains heading back east. Famous historical figures to walk the streets of Abilene include Wild Bill Hickock, General Custer, and President Eisenhower. In fact Eisenhower was born and raised there, how many other Kansas towns produced a US president?Abilene was the first, the original "cow town" of the west. And still today agriculture is an important part of the local economy. Good, honest, salt of the Earth kind of people live and work there.Abilene is home to one of the Wonders of Kansas: the Brookville Hotel. Great rough ridin' chicken! No menu! You eats what you gets!Abilene has produced some fine K-State athletes, most recently Cody Whitehair, Curry Sexton, and Emma Osterman.And there's tons to do in Abilene! Of course you could tour the Eisenhower Memorial and Library. But there's also the Museum of Indian Arts and Crafts! Also, the Greyhound Racing Hall of Fame! Abilene is pretty much the center of the world for greyhound racing. Also, the Museum of Modern Telephony! In fact, cell phone giant Sprint was founded in Abilene!I think if you look at facts you can't deny Abilene this honor. No other town in Kansas has spawned a Fortune 500 company, a US president, one of the Wonders of Kansas, athletes for K-State, and stories of old gunfighters. Not one.
How many of you are moving to Meade after seeing this stuff? Like, more than a million of you? The Moon Mist Motel only has about 10 rooms.

The Moon Mist Motel only has about 10 rooms.Not me. Meade is lacking diversity.The racial makeup of the city is 95.4% White, 1.0% African American, 0.6% Native American, 0.5% Asian, 1.1% from other races, and 1.3% from two or more races

Religious diversity has to count for something.

Wichita beats this in every single category.
also methodists, lutherans, nazzarenes, non-demoninational protestants, presbateryians, catholics, baptists, pretty much all religions present and accounted for really.

Man, after reading all this I am staunchly #teamMeade. If your town used to have a Sonic I'm pretty much all in.
