Good morning, Wichita!

I need more secret vocab words to sprinkle throughout these emails, whatcha got for me?

Let's get to it!

Wichita Life Discount Card

Yesterday we asked if you'd be interested in buying a Wichita Life Discount card and 80% of you said yes or probably (depending on the businesses).

This discount card would include hand-picked, high-quality, local businesses with actual good discounts.

What would be a good price point you'd be comfortable paying?

Portland Loo

If I asked you to take a wild guess, how much do you think a porta potty costs?

What about a public restroom / hydration station?

I honestly would have no idea.

The City Council just approved over half a million dollars to install an outdoor restroom at two different parks.

Naftzger Park and A. Price Woodard Park will each get get one, while Woodard Park will also get a drinking fountain.

These particular “Portland Loo” models were chosen as they are open at the top and bottom so no one can do anything crazy, while also easy to maintain.

Is $500k too much for some restrooms?

LOCAL

Historic Midtown Walking Tour

Wichita has a lot of history that many people don’t know about.

That includes older neighborhoods and older homes.

Who made it to the Wichita Dinner Table this week?

Wichita State Drama

Things may look a little different at the Wichita State Shockers game tomorrow.

In the past, the Shocker cheerleading squad and dance team have been in a certain area. Now they are being moved from their prime spot to a different spot to make room for premium courtside seats to increase revenue.

Tune into the Dinner Table above to hear from some alumni.
