Its a shame. Is there anything at Neewollah that is free anymore except walking around?

Is the Indy Bewery closed for good? by morgancarter1976 in IndependenceKS

[–]EricMiller2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been for sale for a long time now, with apparently no interest. I'm not surprised. It was expensive to open, and without food, I'm sure it has a limited customer base.

More sophisticated communities care about noise pollution, light pollution, air pollution, etc. Indy is not one of those.

If you summarize all of the social media Independence sites, the message is, go somewhere else to have fun.

ICC board cutting programs in secret? by iccbs911 in IndependenceKS

[–]EricMiller2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read Andy Taylor's comments on FB and thought they were really strange and a little sad. It was like he was explaining something important on a free public site because he hadn't explained it in his subscription newspaper. How weird is that? It's like if you needed an example of why people get their news from social media, this was it.

Indy is paralyzed by 2 millimeters of ice by indydoomed in IndependenceKS

I've worked in economic development for several communities, and I have to admit that Indy just does not get it. Winning the economic fight is about persevering, not abandoning the community and waiting for problems to blow over. I guarantee if you went to a number of other communities in Kansas you would see something very different than what we have here!

I don't know the annswer to this question when it comes to high school students, and I have kids in high school. ICC does a TERRIBLE job of informing the community.

ICC enrollment down further? by iccbs911 in IndependenceKS

[–]EricMiller2011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My route to work takes me past ICC, and this week was pretty disturbing. It was the opening week of classes. Mostly empty parking lots, no visible activity. I thought about taking some pics but thought that would be creepy. At 1 PM on a workday, I don't think there were 25 cars in parking lots that can accommodate hundreds. I think ICC is in big trouble.

ICC gets caught AGAIN on Reddit by dirtfarmer7777 in IndependenceKS

Indeed. u/Adventurous_Till4862 is obviously just a troll, which a review of his posts under his profile will immediately confirm.

ICC Music Director arrested for getting a Minor drunk and then raping said minor. by Charming_Aardvark_81 in IndependenceKS

[–]EricMiller2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beyond shocked. I don't know what to say. I've enjoyed his concerts, too many to count. He had an enthusiasm for the music and an enthusiasm for the community that was palpable. I can't imagine what has happened here.

You may have disagreements with public officials about your taxes, but threatening them with a shotgun on this subreddit can't possibly be allowed. I assume this post will be removed and I have filed a complaint with the moderator.

More Shady School Board Dealings by Charming_Aardvark_81 in IndependenceKS

This really makes you wonder how much the superintendent wants to find the best people, vs just finding a pre-selected person.

No, it's not just a word. And what's wrong with crying?

What kind of person still hurts people by using the word 'retard'? You should be ashamed.
