Owen: I'm to drive you to Wichita to catch a train?
Del: Yeah, we'd appreciate it.
Owen: Train don't run out of Wichita... unlessin' you're a hog or a cattle.
[Clears his throat]
Owen: People train runs out of Stubbville.

Norm, How about the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. Very, very nice with great weather and good housing and prices. Take a ride down 81 out of Carlisle. Beautiful!!! If I didn't have all my kids around here I would be thinking that area.

Norm, I've been building, new homes in KS for 20+ yrs now, around 220 the last time I thought to count them all up. Your friend is correct regarding the cost of living and home prices. Even with the run-up in real estate values over the past several years, nice homes are cheap in the midwest. Wichita KS, Tulsa OK, Springfield MO, that whole area is pretty neat. I build in NE Oklahoma and SE Kansas for the most part. Nice 3 bed, 2 bath, 2 car garage homes on full basements are plentiful in the 130K and up range. I hang out with 2 FAST racing buddies who live in Erdenheim and Oreland PA. It's a neat place, but definitely crowded.

PS Don't worry about tornadoes either, a warning siren will always sound just about 10 minutes after a twister hits.

Isn't that the truth!

We had relatives that lived in Kansas. Oh no Toto, not another twister!

If I'm not mistaken, a few years ago Springfield, MO, was the fastest growing city in the US...my daughter, and lots of other family live there, so we're there a lot, and it's growing like crazy to the south towards Branson, MO, which is within 1/2 hour or so....hey Norm, you like country music shows and crafts?

Springfield, Nixa, Ozark, down to Branson and Harrison, AR, to the south...as well as west along I-44 towards Joplin, MO...
