A Kansan Day Trip - Part 3

Back on the road again ... looking for Sun City and ready for that pie.

Here it is! Sun City - in all its glory! Population? Debby said a little over 60! Certainly isn't like the Sun City retirement resorts we know about. Retirement? Yes. Resort, no.

Complete with a hitching post.


This is Buster's! As we drove up an "older gentleman" called out, "Do you wanna a beer?" Rich replied, "Do you have pie?" Well, the other man couldn't hear and this little conversation went back and forth. Good for a laugh. They had two portions of chocolate pie and apple crisp left from lunch. We were in luck!!



This is pretty much what you'd expect a place like Buster's to look like - complete with animal heads.

We were told people come from all over to eat here. People had been there earlier who came from east of Wichita and Tulsa! Must be good food. Will have to make another trip! When I asked the hostess to take our photo, she insisted the best place was in front of the mirror, behind the bar. So here we are!

The town has two churches; Sun City Baptist and The Father's House of Worship.

Post Office.

Signs of the past and present!

Leaving Buster's Allen checked our route with this gentleman who suggested a different route than the map. Debby kept asking, "Is it pretty? We want pretty."  He said we'd like it, so off we went.


Leaving town we saw this old boarded up home. Must have been quite beautiful in its day.

And across the road, this property owner is expressing his opinion!

This reminded me of the TV program, "If These Walls Could Talk". Plenty of tales would be told, I'm thinking.


This new route took us into open range, across cattle crossings. It was indeed pretty!



Last stop would be in Greensburg.
