A Neat Place to Live? - 9/23/2009
I have lived in El Dorado most of my life. I have spent time in the military and living in Montana, but mostly in Kansas. El Dorado was considered a distant suburb of Wichita till the economy tanked. Now it is too expensive to realisticaly commute back and forth so there has been little growth in population and economic development. A prison, small refinery, and balloon plant are the primary employers next to the school district. We have a nationally ranked junior college, Butler Community College; Their football program has won 6 recent national championships. The public schools are mediocere at best. Some spill over crime from Wichita, the refinery, prison, and college stongly inhibit a positive enviroment for kids and young adults.[read more...] |

ElDorado, Kansas - 12/25/2008
Nice small town close to largest town in Kansas (Wichita). Has hospital, community college, state park and lake, good schools, and some retail. Not alot of jobs but many people commute to Wichita- 30 miles. Low crime, very quiet at night.[read more...] |
