  • To Whom It May Concern, I Am Writing to You to Express My Concern That
    To whom it may concern, I am writing to you to express my concern that Century II and the old downtown library have been removed from the plan to redesign the look of the Arkansas River in downtown Wichita and will apparently be replaced with smaller buildings and a large green space designed to connect other businesses to the river. I believe that if this plan is carried out and Century II were destroyed, that it would cost the city and her residents a significant economic structure that will not be easily replaced. I feel that the so called need to grow and revitalize often comes with the destruction of our irreplaceable history. Both Century II and the library are historic buildings that many consider permanent structures in the downtown aera. They are both irreplaceable history that will be gone forever! Many Wichitans have grown up attending events at Century II, everything from concerts, plays, comedy specials and graduations. Century II is iconic with the Wichita skyline. When I hear that a “international consulting group,” with no ties to Wichita, has eliminated Century II from their “Riverfront Legacy Master Plan,” then, I must say, they do not have the right feel for Wichita in mind while trying to carry out this job. Many have, just as fond memories of the library, as well, as do I. I understand that there are several plans on the table and while I believe that one calls for the destruction of Century II, my hope is that another will lean toward renovating the building.

  • WALA Fall Newsletter Message from the President Volume 25, No
    October 2016 WALA Fall Newsletter Message from the President Volume 25, No. 3 Greetings Wichita Area Library Association members and friends. My name is Tom Taylor. I am the Director of the Andover Public Library. I have been in Andover for almost 3 years, but I have been a WALA member since 2008 when I moved to Wichita. I enjoy listening to audiobooks, reading when I can, and watching Indy Car racing and other sports. It is my pleasure to serve you as the President of WALA. WALA is the best value of any professional organization I have belonged to. For only $15 you get to connect with a wide variety of librarians across the metro area. Our continuing education and advocacy offerings have proven to be very valuable to me and the libraries I have represented. And we have fun, lots of fun. It is, however, far from fun and games for Kansas libraries. Public Libraries and our regional library systems faced a significant legislative Tom Taylor, threat this past spring. Legislation appeared that would strip the WALA President, autonomy of local library boards and the taxing authority of the Andover regional library systems. Fortunately librarians and library supporters Public Library rallied to the cause and libraries were removed from that legislation. But our advocacy efforts must not end. That legislation could reappear. Our schools and universities are dealing with continued funding shortages that affect their libraries. We need to advocate on their behalf. We learned this past spring that our voices can be heard. So, please renew your membership if you have not already and join us at our annual Legislative Luncheon on November 21st at YaYa’s EuroBistro.

  • 80 Kansas History “Peerless Princess of the Southwest”: Boosterism and Regional Identity in Wichita, Kansas
    “Corn is King” (1887). Courtesy of the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 38 (Summer 2015): 80–107 80 Kansas History “Peerless Princess of the Southwest”: Boosterism and Regional Identity in Wichita, Kansas by Jay M. Price n 1887 the Wichita Board of Trade issued an elaborate map celebrating the city’s prominence as a regional trade and commercial center. Wichita appeared as a bustling powerhouse of activity in Kansas and the central United States. Exaggerated scale highlighted Wichita’s purported status as a hub of rail lines that extended to New Orleans, Galveston, El Paso, Los Angeles, Denver, Kansas City, Omaha, and Chicago. Equally striking were the slogans and titles that described the city as the “Peerless Princess of the Plains,” the “Magical Mascot,” the “Mecca of Men,” the I“Jerusalem of the West,” and the “Favored City.” In the upper corner was a blank space for a sponsoring organization. The Wichita Journal of Commerce, for example, did so, mentioning that it was in “the Great Southwest, Wichita, Its Metropolis.”1 A century later, equating Wichita with the Southwest would seem odd. By the 1980s, the term “southwestern” evoked images of howling coyotes, saguaros, Mexican food, and adobe architecture.2 Depending on the speaker, Wichita was a city of the Midwest, which extended from Kansas to the Great Lakes; the Great Plains, which ran from the Dakotas down to Texas; or an ill-defined “Heartland,” where fields and farms extended to the flat horizon, punctuated by massive grain elevators. Regardless of specific regional affiliation, however, one feature stood out: location.

The plan was developed in 2009, at the end of the Great Recession – a time when our community was willing to be aspirational and set sights on the future. I’ve been working for New York Life in the heart of our downtown for over twenty years and have enjoyed a front row seat to the incredible growth and changes that have taken place as a result of that strategic vision. 4 4 15 MILLION MILLION MILLION And that community aspiration – it has paid off. Since the adoption of the $108 $7.3 $168 plan in 2010, it has served as a blueprint for development and has resulted 10 YEAR TOTAL 2019 PUBLIC INVESTMENT 2019 RETAIL SALES in over $1 billion of investment in the urban core. We have completed PUBLIC INVESTMENT 87 development projects and nearly doubled the number of residential units and retail square footage. There is also an increase in demand for office space as companies look to grow their business in the center of commerce and culture. A few years ago, my team and I were inspired by the resurgence of downtown as the employment epicenter and added the New York Life sign to the top of our office building at 125 N.
