Weather.. - 10/4/2011
The weather in Olathe is very inconsistent. Especially during Spring and Fall. Like your typical midwest town, hot air from the South collides with cool air from the North. So what you'll get is a scorching 100 degrees one day, and a cool 65 degrees the next.
Spring time is the worst though. We'll get pretty much every type of weather in a week. Hot, cold, humid, dry, rain, snow, sleet.. We have a saying here, "If you don't like the weather, just wait a couple hours". [read more...] |

My formative years... - 4/15/2009
As a graduating senior at Kansas State University, I can honestly say that having grown up in Olathe, Kansas I couldn't be more happy with the experience I had there. The schools are outstanding, the cost of living is tremendously low, Kansas City is gorgeous and well maintained, the international airport is the most efficient in the United States, the nightlife is booming for the younger crowed, restaurants are excellent, and the culture is very eclectic.
Having lived there almost my entire youth, I can say first hand, that it is a great place to grow up and raise a family. If you were to move from the east or west coasts you would be amazed at how far your dollar can take you in the greater Kansas City metro area. A 1,300 sq. ft. home in the heart of Anaheim would cost you around $4,000,000 and around $80,000 in Kansas City.
Suffice it to say, I loved my experience in Olathe, Kansas and plan on heading back in the future.[read more...] |
