Good morning, Wichita!

Welcome to Kansas. 81 degrees tomorrow, 53 degrees Sunday, windy every day.

C’est la vie.

Let's get to it!

Rooftop Bars or Restaurants

We have been preaching to the choir about needing more rooftop accessible bars and restaurants for a while.

While I’d love to have it right on the river, in Delano or Downtown is the next best option.

Wichita Brewing Company just opened their new location (with rooftop) in Delano and it is awesome.

Now Flatlanders Brewing Company is coming to 623 W Douglas (directly west of Picasso’s Pizzeria), former home of Visual Fusion.

Tariffs and Wichita

How will the 25% import tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada affect Wichita?

Keep in mind, this affects Canadian whiskey, mezcal, and Tequila.

It’ll affect Breweries and more.

For Sale

Wichita has a number of recognizable buildings.

Epic Center, Century II, Garvey Center Tower, Ambassador Hotel, etc.

One that you might not think of at first, but would likely recognize is The Commodore at Elm and Broadway. This 1929 former hotel, apartment building is now up for sale.

West Side Entertainment

The East vs West debate never gets old, but this looks like a dub for the dub of the Dub (a win for the West side of Wichita for those who didn’t keep up).

NewMarket Square is looking to expand with a new entertainment district including indoor and outdoor entertainment for food, alcohol, DJs, pickleball courts, food hall and much more.

Small Business Anniversary

If you own a small business, we want to celebrate you.

STARTUP

Humid Golf

Vince Macias just launched an online golf apparel company called Humid Golf that you should all check out because 1. we support local and 2. the quality looks incredible.

Keep an eye out for Vince and Humid at the Wichita Open.

Gamechangers

Andrew Marquez with VU Scholarships out of Roeland Park took home the $20k prize as part of the Gamechangers and Champions 2025 competition! Several Wichita startups pitched and did a great job.

New Plants

We’re in a drought, so should you plant new trees?

The city recommends against it, nursery owners say go ahead.

Rough Week Continues

The rough week for Wichita continues after we were named #1 for “most challenging” city for allergy sufferers (3 years straight) and then named one of the most obese cities in the US, coming in at #16.

Now our air quality falls into the unhealthy category.

What’s next? The grass isn’t safe to eat?

Taco Fest is Coming Home

After a few years out in the burbs, Taco Fest is coming back strong to the heart of Wichita downtown on June 28th!

SB Mowing 🤝 KC Royals

As if Spencer & SB Mowing couldn’t get any cooler, he helped mow The K for opening day.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice

It’s Showtime

Next week, Broadway in Wichita is bringing Beetlejuice himself to the stage from April 2-6 at Century II.

Riverside Yoga

Get your weekend started right with yoga alongside the Ar-Kansas River Exploration Place’s Wichita Foundation Amphitheater every Saturday from April 19 to October 18th.

Flood in Ablah

I spent a lot of time in the Ablah Library back in my day.

The Sunday before spring break, Ablah flooded up to 4 inches across 50,000 sq-ft and nearly ruined the special collections section that includes rare books, historical documents, and more.

🎳 Bowling

Congrats to the Wichita-area bowlers who made the All-Metro team!

🐝 Spelling Bee

An Andover middle schooler took home the Kansas State Spelling Bee crown for the second consecutive year. This year it is 7th grader Sam Riley, last year 8th grade Carey Chesire won (and was likely the first winner out of Andover to do so)!
