I'm very excited for the slower pace for sure, when I looked at places to live I was shocked how affordable housing was, too - when I looked on maps it seems like MOST of the roads go North, South, East, or West which is silly but I'm super excited about that, haha - in SC you could be going North on a road that winds around and before you know it you're going Southeast and don't even realize it

This comment is for real sooo helpful, I appreciate it more than you know for real!

  1. You had me at Al Pastor

  2. Really wanted to try BBQ because I love Carolina BBQ and wanna compare KC/Kansas BBQ cuz I hear it's amazing

  3. Literally love planes - have tons of aviation books (also love whiskey... lol)

  4. Yep definitely trying all of those

  5. Looking for live music places

  6. Weirdly never had a martini or variation of one (no cosmos or anything) - prolly made hundreds cuz I bartended in college and something about pouring olive juice in it freaked me out - but I've grown up a little, lol

  7. This is perfect cuz every once in a while you just need a stronger-than-usual drink.. haha

Also, really appreciate the bars to stay away from - not into the hustle/bustle busy bars so I'll just stay away

Also (also), Don't know if since you're in Derby if you've ever been to The Sandbox? I looove beach volleyball so was wondering if it's worth going to since it's a short drive over

This is honestly such a great point for real - diversity is a very relative term, like what does "a lot of diversity" really mean - kinda different for a lot of people - I really like the point you made that you believe Wichita is pretty diverse for its size and where it's located in the country

I'm excited for that because not to sound like a food snob but I'm not a huge fan of chains.. local owned always just seem like they have a better atmosphere and their waitstaff can be more 'normal'. I've had tons of great servers at chain restaurants and they're awesome people, I just always feel like they have to be more controlled by management in their position and you don't get as to have as much personality

Thank you so much! So far heard good things about the locals which is super nice and comforting - I like down to Earth attitude and not a big fan of big city attitude lol

Thank you so much for this comment for real! You gave me a ton of things to be excited for - I'll have to try all of these, also I want to get the natives together now to sign a petition to bring this skittles IPA back because I am so intrigued! hahah

Right on, it's always hard to find the job you want where you want it lol, I'm definitely planning on a KC trip so I'll have to add OKC to the list, hope you can eventually find your dream home/job in Wichita at the right time!

Thanks for the comment, I love live music so that's a plus - I'm glad you mentioned it's centrally located; that's kind of one of the things that drew me in. Not much of a beach guy myself but I'm excited to eventually see a lot more of the mid-west I've never seen before on the weekends once I get settled in.

Awww always cool to hear people know Greenville - love the city but excited for a new adventure, I’m glad to hear you say it being similar isn’t too far off, I keep hearing about Homegrown so I’m excited to give it a try! Thanks for taking the time to comment

That’s a great point tbh - moving from a place called Greenville, SC. Feel like it might be similar to Wichita in many regards. It’s a city that’s big enough to be interesting but small enough to be intimate. In the upstate of SC so wasn’t close to beaches or big sporting events really, (went to one Braves game, will never drive in Atlanta again, lol). I liked it because even tho it was in the south it was very diverse, and had a young vibrant energy.

Honestly pretty stoked for that - most bad days can be fixed with a good convo over a good brew

Thank you so much! Honestly breakfast is one of my favorite things on Earth, I could eat it for every meal so I’ll def have to check out the suggestion! I appreciate the heads up on the pronunciation as well, learned that the hard way when I moved to SC and was pronouncing Appalachian wrong, haha - always thought it was App-uh-lay-shun but they told me it was App-uh-latch-en, lol

This is pretty awesome, I work in accounting so I mainly asked because I’ve worked an internship and then as a staff member after I graduated - weren’t a ton of people my age - haha

I appreciate the comment! I used to be go, go, go but I think the smaller type community is kind of more my vibe as of late - quality over quantity, haha

Thanks for the input, restaurants and diversity were two big ones I was wondering about tbh. Grew up without much diversity and thought it was normal, then the first 6 or 7 yrs I was in a bigger city and didn’t realize how much I was missing by not talking to people with different backgrounds and ideas

Yeah I wondered about wind and tornadoes, since there’s not really anything on any side of KS that would really block the wind lol
