11 Totally True Stereotypes Kansans Should Just Accept As Fact
Sometimes stereotypes turn out to be more true than not.
In Kansas, we’re known for fields of wheat, flat prairie, and really boring highway drives. We have some beef with a neighboring state or two, but only because of sporting rivalries. We’re half farmers, half city folk, and all hospitality. We’re just us! Let’s see how many true stereotypes you match up with. Do you know of any others?
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
It's not all farmland, but it's... a majority of Kansas. If we're being honest.
Not as flat as Florida, though. So that's something, right?
We like to criticize other states, but we're not the best drivers either.
Some of us sound like Okies, some sound like Northerners, you get the point.
It seems like everyone needs someone to compete with, no matter what.
Unless you're in the middle of Wichita or Lawrence, you're probably not far from a field.
The divide isn't down the center, either. It's more of a slanted line West of Wichita.
It really doesn't even snow that often, we're just worried about ice storms.
Tornadoes are hard to catch, even if we do have them pretty often. Plus, it's never as crazy as we make it sound.
This one's completely true. Deadlines always seem to move farther away, no matter how quick it was supposed to be.
It's flat, boring, with almost no features. If there's no clouds, you better like the color blue! You won't be seeing much else for miles.
After this list of fun Kansas quirks, why not take a guided tour to some abandoned cellars?
