Food & Art in Wichita, Kansas

I have been busy this week. I’m making the most of my time in Wichita & doing as much as I can.

Wichita State University

A bit of trivia from Wikipedia: 

The name for WSU’s athletic teams is the Shockers and, collectively, students are also referred to as being “Shockers”. The name reflects the university’s heritage. Early students at what was then Fairmount College earned money by shocking, or harvesting, wheat in nearby fields. Early football games were played on a stubbled wheat field.


Pizza Hut Museum

Did you know that Pizza Hut was started by two brothers attending Wichita State in 1958? Dan and Frank Carney started the pizzeria with a $600 loan from their mother. The Pizza Hut Museum is located on the WSU campus.

You can’t help but notice all of the art around campus.

Other art is scattered around the campus.

Hi! I am Christi, a full-time RV traveller since August 2021. I have always loved to travel, but COVID-19 put a stop to that. I was fast approaching 50, my condo was being placed up for sale and I was ready for a major change. Originally from a tiny town in rural Southwest Virginia, I am the mother to one son and a rescue Shih Tzu, Cappy. For the last 20 years, I worked in public library systems around the Charlotte & Myrtle Beach areas. I met some amazing people and made great friends along the way. Follow along on my adventures as I travel the US. I hope that our paths will cross one day!
