Don't be fooled by the Small Town Feeling - 6/2/2018
I moved here 3 years ago, because I wanted to raise my children in a small town. We lived in a big city with a lot of crime and the some kids were always in trouble. I did not want that for my kids. So we moved here. The crime here can be just as bad as the city. The kids here are not supervised and allowed to do whatever they want. Some of them walk around with guns and knives. If you move here be careful who your kids play with (even if your neighbors seem ok). The work environment here is also another problem. The people here love cliques and that is a serious problem on the job. I have actually seen people team up against certain individuals and make up lies on them to get them fired. Another problem that I noticed is that the city misappropriates their funds. The city built a huge recreational field house that cost 9 million, but the roads are in bad condition. The city has a really bad sewer gas smell and need to do more to correct the sewage issue. In some parts Read More

Salina also has skunks,turtles and deer(besides t - 2/7/2015
Salina in some parts is so wild that there are animals, tutles and skunks I saw at night while dring a beer outside the market near Tony's Pizza factory ownd by the "Schwan" family.
There are people in Salaina as well. You can see the eating real beef and real great beef hamburgers or at the walmart.
Most people work at the Tony's factory or there is a chocalate "russetts" 20 miles away.
I was there for almost a whole year. I stayed at the Salina Rescue Mission for free however nothing is really "free" as it may appear..
Housing- Salina downtown purports to have cheap rooms, the problem is the people who control those rooms ask a million questions and have you fill out lots of forms. They are so picky thats why lots of us new comers to the city, end up at the Salina Rescue Mission.
When I say the Salina resue mission is "free"its not really free -you have to live with ex-cons who have lived there for years(not kidding)and curfew is always 530 pm to Read More

When I say the Salina resue mission is free its not really free -you have to live with ex-cons who have lived there for years(not kidding) but the nice is if you work at Tony's Pizza factory next door you can save a bit of money but Tony's pizza only hire's temporaries at the place next to it. But if you tell them you stay at the rescue mission they may hire you more than other people. Most of the regular employees are from Vietnam. Don't be jealous its not easy working at Tony's pizza, though you can eat all the free pizza you want.
Many of the "ex-cons" from the rescue mission hang out Read More
