FACT: Terrible HS athletics.
Topeka Hayden.
My favorite of the Topeka area schools is Silver Lake.
Fact: Silver Lake has the best Chinese food in Kansas. I didn't include it in the Topeka list because...it's not in Topeka.
For those who remember "Sun's" (now El Centinela, used to be JJ's Bistro) in Topeka near 21st and Belle - same food for the most part, the son of the owners of Silver Lake Chinese ran it.
Great pan fried "jowzee's". Only open on Friday/Saturday night, and only serve soda by the can.
