Wichita, Kansas

[SmallHurst]

Wichita is a nice town, but if you are still wanting to have some metro feel, I would suggest Kansas City, Omaha, Springfield, MO, or Tulsa. To the east of Wichita, you have the rolling Flint Hills, to the west, you start into the flat land that Kansas is famous for. The weather is in the extremes, hot in the summer (several days over 100), cold in the winter (not much snow, but the wind will cut right through you), and the aforementioned tornados. Everyone builds a basement, so the twisters are not too much of an issue. They do have a great college basketball team, get most of the concerts that roll through Kansas, have a drag strip and dirt tracks. You are 3 hrs away from KC, 3 1/2 from Springfield, about 7 hrs from SCR 10 . I have releatives that live in Wichita and Hutchinson. If you are looking for nicer homes, look in Anthony, KS. My cousin has a very nice home with a large 3 car garage. I am guessing about $280-300 for that house. Drop me a PM if you want to know more.
