Pratt, Kansas

Home of the Miss Kansas Pageant. Main Street is still brick and the Hot and Cold towers are still standing.
A few other odd facts: Pratt has 5 consignment stores (all on Main Street), at least 5 Mexican restaurant, 5 auto/parts stores and not a single ice cream parlor!
With a population of about 8,000, do we really need that many Mexican restaurants? Bring back the Dairy Queen!!!
Local mascots: PCC Beavers, Pratt High Greenbacks (yeah, that would be a frog), Skyline Thunderbirds (Go Blue!)
There is a Pratt County Historical Museum, but only the grade school students ever seem to go to it. I remember going with I was in 5th grade and it was FREEZING the whole time!

Ok, so this post is a little different than usual. Mom and I went to all the consignment stores on Saturday and it got me thinking about how odd this little town really is and since I hadn't updated this thing in a while I thought I'd share the oddities with all of you. Our little shopping trip was some what successful I found two books and a sweater and Mom spent a whopping 10 cents on a light globe (you know the glass thingy that goes around the light bulb on a wall fixture.)

Nothing new and exciting has happened here, just living life, and still looking for a job.
