WICHITA: I Visited Kansas' Biggest City - This Is What I Saw

We visited the largest city in Kansas, Wichita. There was a lot to see, including the best dive bar in Kansas and the amazing city landmark, Keeper Of The Plains. But was it all good? Watch and see.

Born and raised in Wichita Kansas. You know the Drury plaza hotel actually has a sealed off tunnel that was used as an escape. Chisholm trail st is actually Douglas.

The first white castle was introduced in Wichita Kansas. We now do not have one at all! Lol

Local Wichitan here. You did a fine job. I love seeing the city from another perspective. Thank you.

Don’t mean to be rude here but as a local I felt that you could have highlighted our city better with instead of showing closed down chicken buildings or abandon down town buildings, you could show our zoo or aviation building or museums. We have a wonderful century two and exploration place and many local restaurants that highlight our mom and pop shops! The art and train museums are amazing, also the correct church BTK was from was right across the street from Heights High school just sayin

Joe and Nicole: thanks so much for the program. Your video becomes my top treadmill time killer and I have walked so many miles and my health is so better since you start this. Have a blessed trip and keep it up. David

I don't know why people who visit here always only seem to mention Pizza Hut and White Castle. For God's sake, Wichita is best known for it's AVIATION history! Cessna, Beechcraft, and Learjet all started here! And Boeing built 1600 B-29 bombers here during World War II. So c'mon, Wichita didn't turn out just hamburgers and pizzas! Rock legend Joe Walsh, also "Cheers" star Kirstie Alley is from Wichita. And the FIRST African-American to win an Oscar, Hattie McDaniel, was also from Wichita! And I might add that Wichita is the hometown of arguably the greatest running back in NFL history. . .A guy by the name of Barry Sanders. Just seems that every video I see about Wichita only mentions Pizza Hut and White Castle. Wichita is also the home of one of our country's USAF bases, McConnell Air Force Base. And along with it's aviation history, the second largest private company in the entire United States, Koch Industries, is headquartered here with a huge corporate campus. The city also just built a beautiful brand new baseball park downtown that is now the home of one of the Minnesota Twins minor league teams. And the Intrust Bank Arena downtown attracts big name performers and sports events. It just seems to me that people look up Wichita on Wikipedia, pick out a few things like Pizza Hut or Wyatt Earp and never seem to really find out how much more there is to the history of this town. And NO, I'm not a Wichita native crowing about my hometown. . .I moved here from someplace else!

Ah, Wichita. I remember it fondly. We lived in a nearby south-central Kansas town for several years. Had life-saving surgery at one of the hospitals. Good people all.

I'm from Wichita born and raised. Hearing you pronounce ICT as icked made me chuckle. You say the individual letters and it refers to our airport. You'll see the ICT flag on everything here. We're very proud.

[ZOSO]

Absolutely love the drive-in portions of these videos now. It really adds so much more depth to your visits.

[malayapride]

Thank you for posting this video of wichita. It's still a place I call home even though I no longer live there. They keep upgrading it little bit by bit. I ❤️ ICT!

Moved to Wichita almost 2 years ago and it's pretty different from what I'm used to. I lived in rural North Carolina for over a decade, so the first thing I noticed when I came here was how FLAT it is. And how WINDY. It reminded me so much of the beach lol. I really like it, though. Lots of opportunities and lots of fun to get into. Cost of living isn't so bad, either. I've made so many friends here, not to mention finally moving with the love of my life. I'm pretty happy I decided to move when I did. My life is forever changed, in the best way.

I was born in Wichita Kansas and it has been my home most of my life, I raised my children here and have always enjoyed the people and the peacefulness we have here .
You did a great job with your video thank you. Hope you enjoyed your stay, please come back for the river festival.

[bbnks]

You made my city look good, thank you. The street you were on is Douglas Avenue which yes was the Chisolm Trail.

[balferono]

I lived here for 2 years just before my dad retired from the Air Force. Some of the fondest times of my life were made here. I loved it. Just wish Joyland was still there. McConnell AFB was great! Played my first golf and got my first kiss in Wichita! ❤❤❤

[jimmyfields]

Good video guy bring back memory's thank u Sir

[debjordan]

Native Wichitan here, the building with Kress at the top was the buildng built by the S. H. Kress & Co. department store. It operated from 1930 to 1968 it is located on Douglas street and Broadway which was originally where the Chisholm Trail went. Really a very good video depicting some of the best of Wichita.

[joanncruzana]

Wow!! More videos pls from wichita. Trying to visit wichita soon ..

[gailsimmons]

I REALLY appreciate that you show where the residents of the places you visit live. Just the same shots of downtown get boring, and one really doesn't learn about the culture of the area. Thank you so much!

[AdamWest-me]

Great video! Thank you for sharing this experience. I was going to move to Wichita Kansas but after watching this video I'm thoroughly convinced to avoid it at all costs LOL 😂😂😂

[malakipickens]
