That's why I asked! There's not much more 'smack dab in the middle of the state' than Hoisington! Most people have never even heard of Hoisington.
I lived in Hoisington from age 1 to age 10 ... long time ago, though. Been back a couple of times over the years to just drive through and see the old home town. Lived at 1st Street and Green Street, across from the lumber yard and funeral home. Sold lemonade and fireworks on the sidewalk. Hung out at Rexall and Manweiler Chevrolet. Loved the annual Labor Day celebration: parade, carnival, the whole thing. My mom was a commercial artist and painted all the store windows with promos for the various events during the year, including Labor Day, Christmas, etc. And, she painted the advertising billboards at the ball park. Best fun was root beers at Chet's A&W, exploring the swampy areas along the Missouri-Pacific tracks, and weekends at Lake Barton.
