KS.... you there?

[Kistler]

Tucson is really a boring place Any of you live in KS? I wish to move back to the Salina area....

Want a four-square house...built between 1908 and 1928....preferably in Saline County.

Salina was the BIG city for us in Abilene! We'd shop, go to movies, dances, and many other things for entertainment! It's grown considerably since I knew it, but still an agriculturally based city populated with folks who have a good work ethic!

I was raised in Halstead, about 50 miles south of Salina. I have also lived in Tucson. Although Ks. has a lot to offer, I quickly became a desert rat during the time I lived in AZ. Loved everthing about the desert and still return there often to visit family and friends. Everyone has different interests, but I was never bored living in Tucson. For me, southern AZ is the 2nd best place!

Good to hear from you! I was never to Halstead but have heard of it. I am not actually from the "city" of Salina....to me Abilene was big of course, Salina was bigger.

Do you remember Neisners? My spelling may be wrong. Neisners had a lunch bar and was kind of like Duckwalls.

Kistler, what is the time frame you're referring to regarding the lunch bar in Halstead? My dad used to have a restaurant/sweetshop that had a old fashioned soda fountain. Or, there was a little place across from the hospital that only had a lunch counter. Give me a year and maybe we can come up with some of the same people we know...

Mid 1950s....but I have never been to Halstead.....was referring to Salina and the big draw for me.

Salina had a Montgomery Wards store and they sold everything that is why we journeyed in (to Salina) from the hinter lands.
