Good morning, Wichita!

Elsewhere Fest was something else.

If you missed it, check out many of the highlights from our favorite local creators like Jackstacks Eats or watch EB’s coverage of Steve Aoki caking people.

WSU 10 Year Plan

Big changes are coming to Wichita State.

Campus is already unrecognizable in many aspects since I graduated, but it is about to change even more.

A new master plan was just approved by the Kansas Board of Regents to make big changes to the WSU campus over the next decade that include renovations, demolitions and much more.

Campus will consist of:

  • Academic Core
  • Historic District
  • Athletic District
  • Innovation Campus
  • 17th Street Gateway

The Sunflower did a great dive into the project as a whole, but we might have to do a deep dive on this project to walk through the details.

TOGETHER WITH ADVANCED ORTHOPAEDIC ASSOCIATES

Drought Update

It rained a few inches last week, enough to bring the water level at Cheney Reservoir up by ~2.5”.

Cheney Reservoir is one of Wichita’s two main water sources and sits at 69% full with a 12 month average of 71.3% full.

Once it falls to a 12-month average of 50-69%, Stage 2 Drought Response plan will be triggered and requires mandatory water conservation.

The Wichita city manager can now make this determination after Wichita City Council members approved the change.

Take a look at Cheney Lake right now.

While the water levels may be low, we’ve received enough rain to absolutely crush the wheat harvest so far compared to last year.

Wichita’s Official Newspaper

When you think of the Official Newspaper in Wichita, we know you first think of the Wichita Life Update.

But after that, what do you think of?

The City of Wichita has named the City of Wichita website as the city’s official newspaper, but will allow newspapers to apply to become the “secondary print source” for legal notice publications.

TOGETHER WITH THE BEACON

Although it doesn’t always seem so, following local news doesn’t have to be complicated.

Local news also doesn’t have to be passive. We have the opportunity to engage with our local newsroom, The Beacon, in a number of ways:

LOCAL

D’aydrian Harding

video preview

D’aydrian Harding isn’t just Wichita famous, but a whole other level of famous on Youtube with nearly 3 million subscribers.

He recently brought in rapper DaBaby to shoot a music video for his newly released BIG BODY song that features Towne West, ICT RiverRides, Wichita Sports Forum, and much more.

Just a heads up, the video is NSFW (not safe for work).

Sunflower Summer

Did you know there is so much do for FREE in Kansas with the Sunflower Summer App?

This includes several things at Exploration Place like:

  • DC Super Heroes Exhibit
  • Dome Movies
  • Super Science in the Live Science Theatre
  • and more!

Rally Against Gun Violence

Gun violence of all kinds is so unnecessary, especially when it reaches our youth.

Over the weekend, several groups of people including marchers, community leaders, and WPD marched against gun violence.

25 Things

Do you know anything about Music Theatre Wichita or their music director Thomas W. Douglas?

What about 25 things?

ICT EXTRA

Lemonade Stand

A local family hosts an annual lemonade stand to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association.

Local Chiro

It is hard to find a chiropractor you can trust. But let reviews about ICT Muscle & Joint Clinic speak for themselves:

"Dr. Keith is focused on the WHY of an injury or situation rather than just fixing it! He makes procedures and exercises easy to understand and involves you in choices of how to proceed. I would highly recommend him! (Prior to ICT Muscle and Joint, I was not a big chiropractic fan.)"*

Top 3 Southern

Let’s try this again.
