News From Around Town
Life in a small town is never boring ... sometimes you just have to read the weekly paper to see how exciting small town life is! We love life in Tonganoxie ... we are continually grateful for where we live and the community we decided to call home a couple of years ago. Here's a few interesting tidbits of information from around town:- The Pleasant St. bridge has been deemed unsafe for large vehicles (buses, firetrucks, etc.) and will be demolished and rebuilt. Whew! Inadequate bridges scare us all!
- How rural are we? Rural enough to have a farmers market now every Saturday at 7 am. Vegies free from pesticides - how novel!
- Plans for the new Chief Tonganoxie Swimming Pool were unveiled! Construction should begin in August. The original pool was built in 1925 ... yup, time for a new one.
- How popular is Tongie? It was the 3rd fastest growing city in the state of Kansas last year, growing 9.19% to around 4,100 residents. Mike Yanez, city administrator put it this way, "People in the Kansas City market are looking for affordable housing and looking for a quieter atmosphere, looking for a better school system. Then people are coming to Tongie and realizing we have a pretty good package."
Yes, Tongie has the total package and is a great place to put down some roots and call home - a little patch of heaven in the Great Midwest.
