It's a pretty average state, really. The school boards are completely insane, Fred Phelps should be shot into space and Sam Brownback is a conniving troll, but in general, the people are very nice. I'm finding, after moving to Olathe from Chicagoland, that our neighborhood is considerably more "realistically" multi-ethnic and multi-cultural than what we felt in Illinois. Suburban KC is no different that suburban anywhere else, really (with all the good and bad connotations thereof).
It's rather quiet here, the housing prices are great, and the amount of tech business coming into the area is pretty impressive. There's also plenty of perfectly healthy alt/gay/youth/liberal/progressive/etc. etc. etc. culture here as well - it just doesn't make national news like the fundie nutballs do. - Jim Erika L Walker-Arnold wrote: >Yeah, exactly WHAT does Kansas have that makes people want to continue >to live there? > >I would have assumed there would be a mass exodus out of that area over >the years... > >Cheers, >Erika > > >##| -----Original Message----- >##| From: Gruss Gott >##| >##| " ... and there's a really neat place to see in Kansas." > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:159926 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
