Some people on this board have some thinking to do about shaming Coffeyville:

Very weird list. I think they are using a bot to write those things nowadays. I did not know that Marysville was a "retirement destination." Maybe for folks from Bremen or Beattie?

The Coffeyville picture is some random house that's not even nice or unique.

Yeah there are many other run down homes that could've been featured instead

Gees, I only drove thru it a few times, but every time I came up with the same conclusion.
Hot time in Kat town tonight.

An important detail to remember about Coffeyville is that from the 1930 census thru the 1980, it maintained a population of over 15k; maintaining over 17k for about 40 of those years consecutively.

There are now less than 9,000 permanent residents there as of the 2020 census.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I'm surprised nobody has nominated Salina yet

Rankings of mid-sized Kansas Cities without major colleges. 

Best to worst:

Salina > Hutchinson > Garden City > Dodge City

I was going to make an argument on Hutch being in front of Salina, but the Salina Mall vs the Hutch Mall /Empty Ghost Mall is probably worth enough points to push Salina back in front. But there is a large gap between Hutch and Garden City.

Update: Salina mall now also a ghost mall, but Salina downtown is actually very nice now with a lot going on.

Pretty awesome iyam

Just got back from Independence.

Holy mother of God it’s insanely expensive to go out to eat in South East Kansas

17.99 for chicken fingers and fries

These rubes are being price gouged by all the business owners.

No wonder small-town folks are feeling the pinch of inflation so much.
