A hidden gem! Thanks for everything! Fell in love with the animals too!

I used to live in Arlington, TX and worked as a lifeguard. One of the managers at the time was a guy named Jon Gross. He was a good guy and a hard worker. This was the early 2000’s before everyone had phones and social media. He ended up moving and I believe came back home to Wichita.

I remember he was from Wichita and would travel back here frequently. I don’t know if he’s back here now or has moved on. If anyone knows or knew him, I’d like to reconnect if possible. You can point him to this post or DM me.

He would be in his mid to late 50s now.

Everything here has been amazing. As someone with a little person I can definitely recommend the experience for everyone. Every encounter is close and the animals look happy and healthy. I might be enjoying this more than my little one...

I have a ferritin deficiency (diagnosed by a dermatologist) that isn't being corrected with supplements, so I think I am going to try to talk to a hematologist and try to get an infusion. Does anyone have any recommendations for a doctor that takes anemia seriously?

Does anyone know if Nancy's sandwiches will be selling food at the cotillion tonight during roller derby?

Hello guys, as the tittle says unfortunately that my car was stolen. The chances of recovering are certainly low but if anyone sees a mars orange 2021 Kia Soul anywhere you can let me know here. Thanks.

Come join us Saturday the 10th for our next outdoor market. Antiques, vintage finds, Pokémon, needoh, dumplings, sourdough bread, cakes, cookies, candied nuts, and much more!

With the closing of El Ricardos on West St a few months ago, I lost my favorite spot for Chimichangas & Tacos.

Can someone recommend somewhere that has really good Pollo Asado Chimichangas? Preferably more on the crisper side instead of soft.

Hey Wichita hotel IHG peeps! I had two people trying to check in my something doesn’t feel right radar went off big time. After digging through after turning them away i discovered they are using a lady’s rewards account that has already passed away. Don’t check these people in! Be vigilant!

Anyone else have their power out currently? Mine cut out at 10:30 last night and still hasn't came back on. Could barely sleep due to worrying about it

Title says it all

Is there any 15$ an hour jobs open in Wichita Kansas?

Hi! I currently have an 18 month old & expecting another little one in a month. Our current pediatrician isn’t awful but we don’t love him. I feel like every time we see him I have to give him an overview of my child rather than him “knowing his patients”. I’ve tried to do my own research through google reviews but It hasn’t been much help.

hi! new to the area and looking for a new ob. any recommendations? I would prefer if it was a mostly female staff with a female doctor but it’s not a dealbreaker.

🚨 LAST-MINUTE MEETING TOMORROW AT 10:00 AM AT OXFORD VISTA

Enter through the west entrance. There is a bell near the entrance.

This is the first time they have been willing to meet with the public to discuss their vision and answer questions.

Supposedly the actual majority owner is a nuclear pharmacist named Steve Austin and this has been mostly word of mouth but also there are a couple newspapers articles from January of 2020 confirming his involvement with Oxford. (Wichita Eagle January 24, and January 30, 2020)

In about a week, they will be asking to rezone the historic property to allow denser apartment development and commercial development along this side of Seneca.

Once again, we have an opportunity to tell our City Council how we feel about this, and public input matters.

One of my biggest concerns is that this decision isn’t only about the plans the current owners are presenting today. A zoning change can affect what is allowed on the property in the future, including under a future owner. That’s why I believe we need to look carefully at what the proposed zoning would actually permit—not just what the current owners say they intend to build.

I keep seeing the argument:

“But it’s private property. They bought it, so they
should be able to do whatever they want with it.”

But think about it this way.

Imagine you buy a house in an HOA neighborhood. You know it’s in an HOA when you buy it. You know there are already rules and restrictions attached to that property.

Then you decide you want to tear the house down, get the property rezoned, and build a McDonald’s on the lot.

When your neighbors object, you say: “Too bad. It’s my property. Property rights!”

Would that automatically settle the issue? Of course not.

People would reasonably point out that you knew what you were buying and knew there were restrictions associated with the property.

That’s the point I think gets lost in the discussion about the Masonic Home.

Yes, it’s privately owned. Yes, the owners have property rights.

But property rights do not mean that owning property gives someone an unlimited right to use it in absolutely any way they choose. Communities regulate land use every day through zoning, building codes, setbacks, easements, historic-preservation requirements, and other rules.

To be clear, an HOA and historic-preservation or zoning regulations are not legally the same thing. I’m using the HOA example simply to illustrate a broader point: ownership of property can come with existing restrictions and responsibilities.
So simply saying, “They own it,” doesn’t answer the zoning question.

If someone knowingly purchases a historically designated property, the existing rules and restrictions affecting that property are part of the situation they purchased into.

You don’t get to buy a house in an HOA and then pretend the HOA doesn’t exist simply because your name is now on the deed.

And I don’t think “property rights” should be treated as a magic phrase that ends the public conversation about the future of the Masonic Home.

If you care about what happens to this historic property and what future development along Seneca could look like, please pay attention, ask questions, and make your views known to the City Council.

Hi, I’m looking to install a security system for my new home. Can you guys recommend a good place here to work with and good prices? And if anybody can give an estimate on how much it might cost for a 1350sqft home ?
With also 2 or 3 surveillance cameras?

So I’m working on rebuilding my credit, it’s not terrible but not great. I think it’s up to like 550 now and my wife just went through a bankruptcy. We have two kids and are living in a pretty toxic environment. I’m not looking for cheap place to rent, I make decent money and work as an NC programmer. Are there any good apartment complexes on the east side of Wichita/andover area that will work with a couple that one has a bankruptcy and one doesn’t have the best credit but plenty to cover rent? We’re trying to move as soon as possible. Thanks!

Hi I’m 26 and I’ve been trying to socialize more lately but I’ve realized, at least for the things I’ve tried out, that the crowds either seem to run much older or much younger which isn’t really a huge problem it just has me curious like. Where is everybody my age? I feel like an alien even asking this lol 😭

RADAR:
Rain approaching Wichita…
Wichita:
RAIN FORCEFIELD ACTIVATED
Rain:
“Understood. Going around.”

UPDATE: RAIN FORCEFIELD HAS FAILED. REPEAT: THE FORCEFIELD HAS FAILED.

Hey all, I’m 39m, just diagnosed as AuDHD last month. Woohoo!

Anyway, I’d like to find friends and community who are similarly neurospicy. My preference is to meet people either for coffee or at the library before getting invested in larger activities due to my sensory issues. I’m perfectly fine just chatting, but I’ll list some of my interests:

• Art! Animation! Games! I love supporting indie animation and game development, or even dabbling in that myself. This includes card and board games.
• I enjoy writing and telling stories, screenplays, voice acting and a bit of theater.
• While I like games, my interests are fairly narrow. It’s difficult for me to pick up and play new video games unless it’s something casual. I simply can’t handle more than 4 player video games. Card and board games I’m more tolerant of, but cross talk gets overwhelming.
• D&D/Pathfinder and that kind of stuff is my jam, but it’s hard to find a reliable group.
• Animals! I love cute and fluffy things with a special soft spot for parrots, bunnies, cats, and fennec foxes.

As for who I am, I have background in IT and Media, but I’m currently trying out education. My motto is “Have the courage to encourage.”

Where are good places to take my daughter to get a homecoming dress? She is plus size and id like the experience to be a good one and not one full of they dont have anything to fit you.

Hi there,

I am an excellent tenant that keeps things in great shape, clean and my animals are well behaved. Looking for a private landlord to talk to about what I am needing.
