Wichita is not without crime - and this is a photo of the jail. 
Previously this month, you may of seen this walkway posted. This is a shot of the same walk way - and, shows the parking garage that it's attached to. The angle only shows the walkway crossing over one street, but it turns and crosses a second street at the intersection, as well. Guess that makes it a "double crosser".
This shot was taken in a downtown Wichita "pocket park", and shows a round table for the downtowners to sit and rest, while viewing and enjoying the park, or their lunch - or both. Also in the background of the picture is the lunch counter statue, which I've posted about in a past entry.
Most of Wichita's fire hydrants look like this one. 
This is a photo, of the base, of the Keeper of the Plain's statue, seen in this blog's header.
The tall Indian Brave stands atop this man made boulder, and keeps watch over Wichita.
While the statue stands tall and proud, someone, behind this door keeps watch over the statue and plaza area.
A movie theater photo, taken as the big curtain rose slowly in its scalloped pattern. 
This walkway turns a corner and crosses a second street. When I see it, I recall the days when shoppers would walk from the parking garage, that was connected by this walkway, to Macy's Department Store.
I like this scene of calm waters and man made river edging. In the background is one of two bridges that leads across the rivers to the Keeper of the Plains.
This photo was taken, by the river, not far from the Keeper of the Plains Plaza. From my understanding, this grate along the bike/walking path was over an unsightly drainage area that would of been costly to clean up and renovate. Instead, the city came up with an idea to add character to it, for a fraction of the cost. Those who look closely beneath this drainage grate, will find -- a Troll. It's a great addition to the area, giving something for young and old, to know about, look for, and find. October and halloween, seems like a good month to post this somewhat creepy, yet fun, and whimsical character.
This is how graves were often marked during the covered wagon, and cowboy days. It reads "unknown", instead of a name. This grave marker is located beside an old covered wagon that had fallen under indian attack. It can be seen when entering Old Cowtown. It's, of course, just for depiction of the wild west era - not a real grave. I thought this photo would go well with yesterday's theme of cemetaries and tombstones.
