Orpheum Calendar

The grand re-opening schedule of the Orpheum continues to grow with the most recent announcement of Billy Idol coming on September 4th.

Free Event

Shoutout to Wody for hosting a free weekly event called Hoop & Feed to give back to the community.

FedEx Driver

With the amount of packages the average person gets nowadays, we should be more thankful for the people behind the wheel.

Terry Covey (a local FedEx truck driver from Wichita) was just named the Top Driver at essentially the Super Bowl of driving.

Top Transfer Uni

Many people may not choose Wichita or Wichita State, but it seems many people find their way back home.

Has your kid asked for nee-dohs? Or dumplings?

PSA - you can get dumplings for $6.50 at KwikShop.

Great news for the Shockers as their leading scorer Kenyon Giles is coming back after the NCAA granted an extra year of eligibility to those who began their college careers in 2022.

On a different note, no - Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker are out of eligibility.

Wet Bulb

It has been a hot start to football season, as it usually is.

If you’ve ever wondered how schools keep kids safe in these temps, they use wet bulb readings and five-zone system which essentially limits the time you can practice outside based on the temperature.

Top High School

What is the best high school in the Wichita Area?

The Andover schools top the list followed by NE Magnet.

Mountain Lion

Keep your eyes peeled, mountain lions are among us (or at least they were spotted near the City of Inman which is 58 min NW of Wichita).
