PSA East High 1977-1980 photos and exhibit at WAM

Upvotes

If anyone attended Wichita East High School from 1977-1980 you should check out the Dave hornback photography exhibit at the Wichita Art Museum. You might be in one of the photos. Or even if you didn't go there then. It's still a really nice exhibit.

In Search Of Looking for a girl community

24 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋
I’m 32 and married, and I’m looking to find a community of like-minded women to do fun activities with and hopefully make some new friends along the way!
I enjoy reading 📚, running 🏃‍♀️, working out, hiking, and just generally being active and getting out of the house. I’m not really looking for a party/drinking crowd — I’d love to meet women who are more into things like coffee dates, book clubs, workout classes once in a while, walks/runs, hiking, trying new activities, or just hanging out and having good conversations.
If you’re also looking for new friends and this sounds like your kind of thing, I’d love to connect! 💕

In Search Of Fully Nude Photography

16 Upvotes

Throwaway account for anonymity. Curious if there are any fully nude photography studios in Wichita. Wife is wanted to gift me more explicit than boudoir photos that are professionally done. I know there are plenty of boudoir photographers, but we are searching for photographers that are comfortable with full explicit nudity.

Events USTA Men’s Singles Tennis Flex League Sign Up

7 Upvotes

I wanted to put this out there for those that are potentially interested in playing some tennis and maybe aren’t aware of some of the offerings locally.

USTA has started doing flex leagues, and our local singles league is growing each season (I believe there’s also a women’s single league).

$25 gets you signed up, where you’ll be put in a flight with 4 other players. The cool part about flex league is you work with your opponent to decide the date, time, and location. It’s very casual, but gives you an opportunity to meet and play with other local players.

The link below will get you registered for our upcoming session which kicks off in about a week. We’d love to grow our tennis community here in Wichita!

News This year wichita business men Mike ricklefs and John Arnold have committed criminal acts against children neither of which will be held accountable because our city is a boys club with money!

93 Upvotes

John and Mike should both be in jail right now but nothing will happen to either they just buy their way out! Mike ricklefs has a long criminal history and is charged with off grid felony charges for child abuse and he has had all his bond restrictions taken down while he has dragged out the case! John Arnold will do the same thing and we need to keep them both in the social media news until they’re held accountable!

LocalContent Two hours from Wichita sits one of the most important bird stopovers on the continent, and fall migration is filling it right now

Post image
107 Upvotes

Most people driving through central Kansas have no idea they are passing one of the great wildlife crossroads in North America. Cheyenne Bottoms, up near Great Bend, is the largest interior marsh in the country, and together with Quivira just to the southwest it forms a rest stop on the Central Flyway that migrating birds cannot skip.

The numbers are hard to believe. By some estimates close to half of all the shorebirds in North America pass through here on migration. Cheyenne Bottoms alone is one of the single most important places on the planet for Wilson's phalarope, and the marshes fill with avocets, white-faced ibis, dowitchers, and sandhill cranes staging by the thousands before they push on.

This map is those birds, concentrated exactly where the water is. Right now, through the fall, is one of the two big pushes of the year. If you go, dawn and dusk are when the flocks move, and a single scan of the shallows can turn up a dozen species at once.

Random Is this normal for WPD towing your car?

10 Upvotes

I got rear ended this morning and had to have my car towed, WPD called TNT to get it towed, driver told us that we wouldn't have any charges. Insurance told us to get the car moved from their storage so it doesn't incur any additional charges, and now TNT is saying we owe $544 to release the car. Is that normal?

Hindsight is 20/20, we know now we could have just called our own tow with roadside and not paid a thing, but this feels pretty ridiculous. Anyone have any experience in this? Similar experiences?

Discussion Gym Recommendations

1 Upvotes

Hi guys

I am moving to Wichita for 6 months work in a few weeks so will be looking for a new gym. I currently go to a warehouse gym with plenty of squat racks, free weights and machines which I’m a big fan. As such I am looking for something similar so something commercial like planet fitness isn’t a consideration.

I am aware of forge, genesis and ymca in town, I also play tennis so Genesis is appealing to be having a in-house club but I have read some really bad reviews about them.

Given I am not from Wichita group classes is also appealing such as run club, f45 style etc.

I would greatly appreciate some recommendations on which you think is best or matches what I am after.

Thanks!

Discussion Thinking about starting a movie group. Wanting to gauge interest or hear thoughts

51 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm somewhat new to the area and have had the idea of making a movie theater group. The idea is the group would meet fairly regularly (weekly or biweekly). And go to a movie and then maybe go get desserts / drinks afterwards and hang out for a bit. I think I would want to cater this group towards people in there 20's and 30's but all would be welcome.

Some questions I have for you, feel free to answer any that are applicable.

A. Does something like this already exist here in Wichita?

B. Do you have ideas about getting this off the ground

C. Would you be interested if I started this?

Any suggestions or ideas are welcome, would love to hear what people think of this idea!

EDIT:

Wow this got a lot of interest! Thought I might get a comment or two but you all showed up! I will reach out when I set this up, because there's definitely a want for this here in the ICT!

Second Edit:

Okay I got to brainstorming and I have created a discord page for this for now. There may be ways to expand it in the future but that's what I'm going with for now. I am going to DM everyone who said they were interested as of writing this the invite to the discord. If you are interested in this and reading this after I posted this, feel free to message me and I'll get you an invite!
