That Hutchinson would rather be the largest city in its district rather than just sit in Wichita's shadow should surprise no one. And Hutchinson strikes me as the type of place where people would be very adamant that they aren't a Wichita suburb (much like St. Cloud. Or Boulder, CO, or Reading and Lancaster, PA, or Kenosh and Racine, WI, and even places where it's not as defensible a position like Bel Air, MD, Rockland County, NY and where StatesRights was from.)

I've known about that Minneapolis, KS for awhile, what made things even more amusing for me at the time is there is also a Mankato, KS, and it's not too far from Minneapolis, the distance is actually comparable to the distance between the Minnesota Mankato and Minneapolis. Of course Mankato, KS is north of Minneapolis, KS, unlike in the Minnesota version.
