Alright....I've got to run and do some work. Post the brand of gin you want Edwina to throw in my face. I'll check back on this thread when she and I are at the bar in a few hours (and please no fucking well gin...pick something with a modicum of class).
Make me the happiest boy in the world Joel. Marry me and make me Ms. Robuchon. <3

Wichita is literally the Walmart of America. A town full of useless shit that has the audacity to have traffic. You might be able to point to other cities that have more crime, worse weather, ethnic groups you don't like, whatever, but you're not going to be able to find a one of comparable size that is generally more terrible and soul crushing than Wichita.
And your whole 100 other small cities and/or suburbs characterization/comparison is ridiculous...The place has to have a population of at least a half million. As such, Wichita isn't a "small city" nor is it a "suburb". A small city would be something like Bartlesville, OK (population 30 to 40k), while a suburb would be a community that is connected to an actual city (and Lord knows Wichita ain't connected to shit).
Tell you what, I will comprise with you and say it sucks slightly harder than Omaha. Is that better?
1) Witchita is the 49th largest city in the country at 390K. By comparison, Bakersfield, is 350K. 40K isn't a small city, it's a town. Maybe large town, if you're getting crazy.
2) I don't think you caught the subtly of "suburb of nothing", but it's what I used to describe Lincoln, in that the city center is tiny, and most of the town proper is suburban housing with ( as you say) soul crushing chain businesses being the vast majority of the place's character. It's not technically a suburb (fucking obviously) but it is mostly suburban style housing, suburban style strip malls and corporate chains. What I mean is, you could blind fold you, teleport you into a random intersection in Wichita, and you'd have no idea, from the housing or businesses, what town you were in, because it's like a 100 other places in the US, all roughly equally soul crushing. If I teleport you to Detroit, you'd A) know it B) be petrified.
It's funny that you bring up Omaha, because there's basically no difference between the two cities. And that city is repeated over and over again in the midwest and great plains.
