With no disrespect intended towards the "Mom & Pap" small businesses that have, and continue to dot the sidewalks of Summitt Street, have they outlived their usefulness? Have they in fact become a hindrance to the natural growth and development of the community? How much has actu...

OK, I get it, smoking is bad for you, and others around you. I know this, I have smoked for years, but I don't need someone telling me that it is a bad health choice. I understand that the new Clean Air Cowley County group wants to educate people of the dangers of smoking, but don't take it upon yourselves...

Just wondering if someone would be kind enough to explain the situation of the new hospital to an ex-resident. Is there a need for a new hospital or can upgrades be made to the current one that would meet the needs of the community? I'll admitt that I'm somewhat shocked and surprised to read that you the c...

I was wondering what people's thoughts about fireworks are. AC is pretty strict on firworks laws and I was hoping that there was some interest in relaxing the laws a bit. There are other cities in Kansas that have relaxed their fireworks bans to match the State Laws. Hutchinson is a primary example...

My last visit to this message board was about ten months ago, and well, it doesn't look as if much is happening in AC, or no one cares or folks are talking about issues elsewhere. Is there another message board where the locals are talking?

While those living in Parkerfield probably like it I feel the new traffic circle is ill-conceived and poorly designed. From the Traveler's opinion poll I'm not alone in my feelings. It's bad enough that a major highway has to slow to 20 MPH a half mile before, but the design of the thing baffles me. You a...

It is tragic about the folks that died at the casino and I feel bad for the truck driver,evan though he was not injured he will have that moment in his mind forever. Looks like the car pulled out in front of the truck. This happens so much. People pull out in front of a vehicle and have only inches to spare...

I see there may be layoffs at the Veterans Hospital. I sure hope it does not happen. I know it is hard to care for folks that need help when there is not enough help. Seems one more hit our Veterans get. I have known folks that have worked there and really like the folks and other employees. I have been th...
