We welcome the opportunity to assist the community in creating the best amphitheater for the Maize community and memorializes the legacy of Mayor Donnelly. PEC has worked with many communities to help create destinations for the entire family and community that spark civic pride. This not only assures a successful long-term project, but creates a space that the public holds in high regard and encourages pride in ownership. We understand that there are multiple types of uses being considered – from concerts and performances to farmers markets, gatherings, art fairs, and special events. There will be many elements to balance to create a beautiful and functional yet cost effective design. We understand the need for audience comfort, sound quality, flexible performance area(s), advertising spaces, flex spaces, conditioned structure, and memorializing Mayor Donnelly; all working to create a seamless City Park site. We will work with you to help you make informed decisions about the vision you and your community are looking for on this project and develop a plan based on that vision. Once completed, the Amphitheater and enhanced City Park will provide Maize with a regional destination for first class leisure and recreation opportunities, a generator of economic impact, and a catalyst for surrounding development. Park facilities not only enhance the visitor experience; they foster a healthy/active lifestyle among local residents and offer opportunities for needed social interactions. One of the core beliefs that our team is founded on is the power of collaboration. True success does not come from one designer or one firm. It comes from a collaborative effort between team members with a wide array of experiences. We value working with personnel from the city, school district, park board, and recreation commission who have a vested interest and unmatched understanding of the community. We use an engaging design process that challenges participants, engages their creative energies, identifies opportunities, and integrates all the specialties required to develop each project. The PEC Team includes planners, landscape architects, architects, and civil engineers – who specialize and are nationally recognized in park design, infrastructure design, stormwater drainage, sound quality, pedestrian and vehicular access including ADA accessibility, utility coordination,

  • 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.
