7 Things I HATE about Manhattan KS | Pros and Cons of Living in Manhattan Kansas

Keep it up, I’m from Florida/ originally from Puertorico and I’m considering moving for a better life and school. Your videos are extremely helpful

I liked Kansas in the beginning but later not good place to live at all.

Thank you for your videos!

It confuses the local people roundabout diverging diamond. WTF

ROAD CONSTRUCTION!!!! Have you been to Wichita?? Our biggest crop is orange cones.

Family activities : there's an ice skating rink in city park in the winter, there's also Zipline on k-18 across from Pillsbury drive behind GrandOlTrunk, parades, festivals every month hosted by Downtown, Music Scene, Aggieville, and surrounding sororities and frats,
Adult Activities : you're lying about live music. Since covid mandates were lifted, the live music scene woke back up in Auntie Mae's, Finn's, the Hat, Yard Bar, Arts in the Park, and the new venue AG Press. There's also Ax Throwing, Oktoberfest, MidfestMHK, and if you come early and stay late, Latin Dance night at Tates. Manhattan Ballroom also hosts walk-in workshops in the weekends. Pain and Sip.
It's kinda sad that you're missing a lot of the entertainment that this town offers. Keep in mind I've excluded K-state-related events since not everybody's a Wildcat fan. I've lived here since 2013, and have seen how much and how fast things have changed throughout the years.
Go on Facebook for the events, look at the city websites, or find the flyers at the local library. You'd be surprised and how active this town is.

I'm sorry you forgot about all these events and places.

The Zoo is inhumane. It is criminal. depressing. Animal abuse. Shut it down!

lol, if your first complaint is road construction, man dude, road construction is in every city you live in/go to. As far as Ft Riley, it’s not every day and only on training days. You make it sound like it’s a daily thing. I agree with the cost of living and the adult places to hang out at. For family activities, there is the pools, Zoo, Linear Trail, the Konza Prairie, bowling, parks, camping and Fishing, museums, the Discovery Center, the water park but agree that there needs to be more.

I watched enough of this video to turn it off and share my disdain of what has become of my hometown. Manhattan was a wonderful place before Ritchie Rich decided that it didn't suit the needs of people MOVING here. No one thought to include, discuss or ask what the people from Manhattan might think, say or answer. Surveys and research were done but did it really matter? What is the need for not one but two parking garages in such a compact area?! We're in Kansas, People! We're used to a blue skyline!

Love your videos - knew about Manhattan, Ks but I did not realize this town to be so beautiful 🎉

I was stationed at Fort Riley in 89-92. Every Thursday we would hit Rock a Belli Deli in Aggieville and I adored Manhattan. There was a great place out by Tuttle Creek that had live music that may have been called Tuttle Creek inn but it was big and again lotta fun for us single guys at least. The fact that your so close to Lawerence and 2 hours to KC may have driven real estate up but like you said Manhattan is gonna attract people with the means to afford it and much cheaper then most big cities. I think the best thing you listed are things for kids/ young adults in high school because not everyone fishes or hunts. I was saddened to hear the tornado about 20 years ago wiped out a lot of places I remembered and heard Last Chance Saloon closed or was damaged and sold. Great video and cool you being in real estate are this honest. ☮️

what about the museums, the zoo, the lake, there is a lot for kids to do

Moving for college this year. What can I expect coming all the way from Ireland?

I live in Manhattan honestly it's bigger than you think

You should live in Rockford I'll. Road construction here to
