ATTENTION TOPEKA RESIDENTS:
For the next month, you apparently will be living in Google, Kansas…. Yes it’s true, some companies and brands can get SO big, they will swallow your whole town if you ask them to!!! Click here for the details…….
……and I can’t resist…… If we’re gonna call one of the most stereotypically-slow-Midwestern towns by a new name, a name that comes with global, worldly connotations, I’m sure we could do the same for the rest of the metro…… I will reward from the Prize Kitchen judiciously the best entries… And of course, peer pressure counts… The peers being you, of course…
I’ll try to get it started… Liberty, for whatever reason, has always seemed to me to be the whitest town in the metro… The most white-bread/midwestern city in the metro… Let’s rename it Harlem for a month… Or maybe Peking…
Independence is Spindependence and Sugar Creek is Sugar Tweek!

Since Lawrence has practically no crime it could be called New York or The Big Apple for a month….since New York city is ranked #1 as the FBI’s U.S. city with the highest crime rate.

Westport can be called the city of Hopps for bar hopping, and beer is made of hopps.

Melissa – Sugar Tweek could definitely work.
Brynn – My wife was actually tellin’ me Lawrence has had its crime rate go up….
Vicky – How about we call it Swill?

We might have had a few incidents over the last few years….but, compare us to KC, or Topeka, or Wichita. I know they’re larger cities, but, we’re nowhere close to any of them.
