Happy Friday! Not sure about you, but May’s been a whirlwind so far—soccer games, birthday parties, and our girls already jumped into my parents’ freezing pool! We’ve been spending our evenings outside riding bikes, hitting parks, and I’ve been helping people buy and sell their homes all over town. Between family fun and the busy spring market, there’s never a dull moment around here lately!

Also… I ran out of time and didn’t get a YouTube video put out this week. So to make it up to you, I asked ChatGPT to recreate Wichita in Minecraft. Enjoy!

Let's jump right in!

I thought it would be fun to ask AI what Wichita would look like in Minecraft. Here’s what it gave me! Recognize any of these spots around town?

🌸Plentibloom Opens This Month!
Wichita is getting a food hall! Plentibloom is set to open at the end of May in the historic Ruffin Building (100 N. Broadway), and it’s shaping up to be a delicious new addition to the downtown scene.

This vibrant new space will feature a mix of familiar favorites—like N&J Cafe and Bronx Pizza & Pints—plus brand-new concepts from local chefs, including fresh creations by chef Kayson Chong. Whether you're in the mood for Mediterranean, pizza, or something totally new, there’s going to be a little bit of everything.

It’s the kind of spot you’ll want to hit up with friends, try something new, and maybe even become a regular. We’re excited—and hungry already.
