Hey friends,
What. A. Week. Wichita got slammed with 101 mph winds, downed trees, and power outages all over the city. If your yard looks like a small lumberyard right now… same here.

On top of the storm chaos, we’re also saying goodbye to a Wichita staple—Towne West Square is officially closing. I’ve got all the details (and a little nostalgia) below if you want to take one last stroll before it’s gone.

And if you’re ready to shake off the storm stress, this weekend’s packed: Wichita Open, Juneteenth celebrations, outdoor movies, and my latest video on where all the smart Wichita families are moving—worth a watch if you’re thinking about your next move. Check it out HERE.

Let’s get into it 👇

Towne West Square - End of an Era

After decades as a west-side staple, Towne West Square is officially closing its doors. For many in Wichita, it was more than just a shopping center—it was a hangout spot, a place for first jobs, weekend plans, and maybe even a first date or two. Whether you remember lining up at the movie theater, hunting down deals at your favorite store, or just walking the mall with friends, it’s hard not to feel a little nostalgic.

The good news? Not everything is going away. Boulevard Theatres, JCPenney, and Dillard’s will stay open. But the rest of the mall will soon be a memory.

If you want one last look around, mark your calendar for a final walkthrough on June 29. It’s a chance to say goodbye, take it all in, and maybe share a few stories.

Got any favorite memories from Towne West? And any guesses what will happen to this building next? It’s definitely the end of an era—but maybe also the start of something new.
