good luck
If you’re coming to Emporia, good luck.
Now coming to Emporia on K-99, from the north or the south, no problem. Coming to Emporia from the east on I-35/US50, no problem.
Approach Emporia from the west on US50 or travel to Emporia via the Kansas Turnpike, yes, a problem.
Entering onto the turnpike from the west… hahahahaha.

The battle with Colorado over who gets water has been going on for some time now. Since at least 1901.
Anyway, there was wet [...]

Walgreens
Walgreens opened in Emporia last Friday. It’s at the corner of 15th and Industrial - which makes it a good quarter-mile closer than Wal-Mart. And, you don’t have to park a block from the store like you do at Wal-Mart. And, you don’t have to step foot in Wal-Mart. Three benefits right there.
I didn’t go [...]
