Geographic features
Flint Hills Discovery Center in Manhattan
Manhattan is in Kansas' Flint Hills region, which consists of continuous rolling hills covered in tall grasses. However, the downtown area – Manhattan's original site – was built on a broad, flat floodplain at the junction of the Kansas and Big Blue rivers. Manhattan is largest town in the Flint Hills, and is home to the Flint Hills Discovery Center.
Tuttle Creek Reservoir is 5 miles (8 km) north of Manhattan. The lake was formed when the Big Blue River was dammed for flood control in the 1960s, and it is now a state park that offers many recreational opportunities. South of the city is the Konza Prairie, a tallgrass prairie preserve owned by The Nature Conservancy and Kansas State University.

Six Past U.S. Secretaries of Agriculture Speaking at Kansas State on October 21, 2013
Six Past U.S. Secretaries of Agriculture at the Landon Lectures series, October 21, 2013. The Landon Lecture Series on Public Issues has a long tradition of highlighting leaders in agriculture, but to have six of the nation's agriculture leaders on the same stage is nothing short of monumental, said Jackie Hartman, the university's chief of staff and director of community relations. In addition, this forum is very fitting given the university's celebration of the sesquicentennial and our land-grant mission.

Lawrence, Kansas and Ames, Iowa
Two fairly typical college towns in the American Midwest. Located just 269 miles from each other, or about a 4 hour drive. Why am I comparing them?
Well I’m from Lawrence.
And I’m Xander from the channel ARTexplains. I live in Ames.
Both: And we’re filming a collaboration!
Both Lawrence and Ames are dominated by the major universities in each city. Lawrence is the home of the University of Kansas, the largest university in Kansas, and Ames is the home of Iowa State University, the largest university in Iowa.
So yeah, overwhelmingly the largest employer in both cities are those two universities. After that, most workers in both towns work for either the city government, school district, or hospital in town.
Both Lawrence and Ames are relatively cheap places to live compared to the rest of the country, although Ames is 3 percent more expensive than Lawrence.
Both are consistently ranked on various lists of the top college towns to raise a family or retire. I don’t know, though, aren’t those lists fairly arbitrary? Yeah, I think those lists are pretty much meaningless.
Both are about the exact same distance from major urban centers. Lawrence is short drive west from Kansas City, and Ames is a short drive north from Des Moines.
Both cities have similar, continental climates, although Lawrence gets more precipitation than Ames, and since Ames is further north it gets colder and gets more snowfall than Lawrence.
Both cities are on the prairie, in areas where lots of agriculture is going on. Farmers represent. Wheat tends to be more common around Lawrence, and not to sound corny, but corn is all around us in Ames.
Both cities were founded during the Civil War Era. Kansas in 1854, and Ames in 1864. Now, Lawrence had a much more chaotic first few years compared to Ames. It started with the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, a law which said the people living in Kansas and Nebraska territories could vote on whether they wanted slavery to be legal or not when they voted for statehood. This idea of popular sovereignty to determine whether or not Kansas would be a slave state or not caused a flood of Americans to migrate there. Many of the first settlers of Lawrence were Free Staters, or those who wanted Kansas to be a free state. However, due to developing a reputation as a Free Stater hotbed, Lawrence became a huge target for pro-slavery bushwhackers, who raided the town multiple times, most famously during the Lawrence Massacre, aka Quantrill’s Raid. The violence in Lawrence and around the state was so bad it became known as Bleeding Kansas.
Uh, yeah, Ames was pretty quiet and chill in its early years. It was pretty much just a railroad crossing.
Lawrence has a lot more people living there than Ames. Lawrence recently crossed the 100,000 mark, while Ames has around 67,000 people.
Ames has lower taxes than Lawrence. We just pay a 7% sales tax rate and we don’t pay taxes on groceries like you silly Kansans.
Yeah we pay taxes on groceries and over a 9% sales tax. But property taxes are a little lower in Lawrence so there’s that.
Ames has more residents with bachelor’s degrees and a higher graduation rate than Lawrence. Ames also has a lower unemployment rate currently than Lawrence.
Are you sure about that, Xander? It’s pretty low here. It’s 3.3%.
Yeah, it’s 2.1% in Ames.
Ames has significantly better air quality than Lawrence.
Lawrence has less poverty than Ames.
