  • My Oh-So-Shocking Secret...Revealed!

    by Lisa Sisley on August 20, 2014

    I have an embarrassing secret. I love it when the K-State students come back to town. I really, really do. This just isn’t a sentiment we long-time Manhattanites ever ’fess up to having. It just isn’t done. Instead, we loudly complain about the hellhole that is Walmart from...

    by Lisa Sisley on December 3, 2012

    Sometimes I’m asked what kind of incentive programs we have for employees. Really, we have just one: the pants. A pair of XXL Old Navy pajama pants, drawstring waist, printed with tiny gnomes all over. Gnomes have been a thing here since our early days. About six years ago, my...
