La Curva is still the clubhouse leader in the “Mexican restaurant you’d go to in Salina with other people from Salina” category.

Fresnillo good, place they opened up in that cursed Sunset Plaza location with similar name but more gringo’y that i think has already come and gone was terrible (not in a snob way, just sucked complete ass and taint)

I think the most cursed location in town is the south intersection of Broadway & Ninth. I think it’s been 6 different things since Key Mar’s closed 25 years ago.

Yes the second one he opened was not good. He was never there and it has since closed. La Curva is a slightly better version of La Fiesta.

Salina has a great Jamaican restaurant downtown … never mind. Just checked and it’s permanently closed.

We always enjoyed Jaslisco up across from Kohls. La Curva wasn't bad tho.

Also after moving away, I've really missed Mokas

La Casita is still great.

Man... Haven't thought about that place for a long time. Took a date there circa 1996.

Took all the kids to The Alley. $20 for bowling, the VR thing, & laser tag was a pretty good deal.

Time to put the kids to bed and head over to Big Nose Kate's for a night cap

Went to Central Mall between lil kids basketball games to try and unlock some core memories from childhood. Sbarros gone. Aquarium shuttered. Incredibly bleak scene.

Yeah. Made me miss Rusty’s Outdoor Sports. Santa Fe area seems nice. HD Lee Mill in north Salina has been demolished.

Apparently, The Scheme is now only available for private parties.

Give it a month and they’ll be back on their “open when we feel like it” schedule.

mostly these kind of private parties, i assume

Trim · « **Reply #389 on:** February 19, 2025, 02:11:34 PM »

I can’t even imagine the phone call that would be booking a private party there.

Trim · « **Reply #390 on:** February 19, 2025, 02:17:12 PM »

Their facebook has the chronology, and private party pics.

Also found this in my investigation: https://pizzatoday.com/topics/industry-news/conversation-duane-billings-the-scheme-salina-kansas/

The city is spending over $500k on legal fees fighting a mural on the side Cozy Inn saying it violates city signage ordinance.

Salina now having daily morning flights out to Chicago, Denver, & Houston and nightly return flights from those 3 is elite.

Is it that Great Lakes prop plane thing or legit passenger jet?

Legit United SkyWest. CJR-200s. Before you had to collect your bags and recheck if you were connecting through. Not anymore.

that flight to Denver is hilarious. It stops in Hays. I have legit been on it with only five other passengers. They had to assign people to certain seats to make sure the weight was distributed safely.

That’s the Hays flight? I need to flight track that tomorrow.

my dad pretty regularly connects through denver to slc and it's pretty hilarious how many different ways have been invented that resulted in him being 1-2 days delayed either direction. no chance in hell i'd ever fly it if those three cities weren't my final destination.

i did fly it to kansas city once like ten years ago and it was one hell of an experience
