The 5 Best Little-Known Places In Atchison, KS

Libby Clum

This is the second edition of “Little known places in Atchison”.

Enjoy and go explore Atchison.

1. Vintage Gypsy

This store is right across from another place on this list (Snowball) and is very unique. There are many random things in this store, from rosaries to candles and beads to make jewelry. Definitely an interesting place to pass time if not anything else.

2. Iron Horse

This is a really great barbecue restaurant in town, right across from the YMCA. It is almost hidden, you have to really work to find it if you want the food. But once you do find it, the food is amazing and will leave you smelling like barbecue for days to come (which is not a bad thing.)

3. Artist Box

I went into this store for just a little while but I wish I could’ve stayed longer. There are paintings and painted pottery for sale but they also have unpainted items that you can work on yourself in the back of the store. It is very unique and would be a really good place to spend an hour or a few getting creative!

4. Chuck and Hank’s

This restaurant is a mix between Mexican and barbecue food, which is probably the best combination there could possibly be. It is located down on the river and has very delicious food.

5. SnowBall

Ok so pretty much everyone knows about Snowball but I just thought I’d include it on the list for the few people who didn't know about it, plus its one of my favorite places off campus. Snowball serves icecream (duh) but also has a full menu of different meals and drinks you can get while studying in their large study space. They have FREE WIFI (the password is BestCoffee, you’re welcome) which really comes in handy when BC’s wifi is down. The people who work there are very friendly and it is a great place to go when you need good food/ to get off campus.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

8 Things All Siblings Know Too Well

As told by Ross and Monica Geller.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
