remember when aggieville had not one but two movie theaters? man those were the days.

What if I told you that there was a 3rd movie theatre in Aggieville?

We used to have to drive to Topeka for things like Best Buy and other retail junk and to have more variety in restaurants. These days, I visit Manhattan and am like, "They have everything you need right here!"

The depressing trek to Wanamaker between thanksgiving and Christmas was the worst.

What is wrong with you people?

(not rhetorical)

A big pet peeve of mine is when I run into someone I haven't seen in a few years. You do the small talk thing wity them and they eventually ask where you're living nowadays. When you tell them Manhattan they always seem to give off the vibe that you are a lesser person for never leaving here after college. I usually follow up by asking about their 40 minute commute in JoCo and which relative bought them the I Miss Manhattan t-shirt that they're wearing.

Fair play, brother... I was just being a smart ass anyway.

I totally get it. I have loads of friends from MHK some of whom have stayed and others who moved away for their own varying reasons.

Although I am originally from south central Kansas, I actually considered staying at one point and it still crosses my mind at times to move back. It's a great town & nobody should ever have to make excuses about loving to live there.

No. I think the daylight donuts fails, the tropical theme one and varsity will live for a long time

I was talking franchises not locations. No way the tropical place retains two.

I think I'd enjoy Manhattan life. Biggest plus to KC is close to family.

everything is way less busy/no lines at restaurants, shops etc when the students are gone. Fact.

If MHK keeps growing are they going to split MHS into 2 high schools?

Why?

mhs is a dominate big time 6a kansas school. you think townies are gonna muck that up and end up with a couple of 5a schools or something? because we might as well pick the town up, move it seven miles closer to i-70 and change the name to salina before that is ever going to happen. two highschools, my word i've heard it all now.
