Gray

Gray, KS is an elevator and a few structures; not much else.

One funny thing about this that the Pride Ag Resources website spells the town's name as "Grey." I googled quite a bit, and it seems that no one else has ever spelled it that way... but I guess it's their business, so they can call it what they want. 

Hanston

From driving through Hanston, you would never suspect that the town's name was a point of significant conflict. According to the library's website:

The City of Hanston was established as the town of Marena in 1878. In 1901, the railroad came through town and the town name was changed to Olney-Hannston. A depot with stockyards was built for the transport of cattle. The name of the town changed again in 1902 to Hanston. The Hann family had donated land to the city. There was a lengthy feud over the changing of the town name.

As we drove into town, we saw Saint Anthony's Parish Church, a cemetery outside of town, and an elementary school. Hanston also has some quiet little neighborhoods, a few dirt roads, and a grain elevator, as well as a few other churches. On Main Street, we saw the library, city hall, a senior center, and Ruff Stuff Parts Supply. We also saw three defunct gas stations of varying ages. The city park is on the edge of town, right next to a cornfield.

Jetmore

Jetmore, home of the Longhorns (and also, at one time, our friend Keith)!

This town has an RV park, some quiet little neighborhoods on dirt roads, and an auto parts store. The kids really liked the excellent city park with a well-maintained playground, sand volleyball court, and exercise area. 

Some of the neighborhoods are paved, and though the town does have some older buildings, it does not have an air of decay. The street signs are white with red letters and Longhorn silhouettes on them.

An old church was converted into the Hodgeman Community Thrift Store. There's a really nice downtown area with restaurants, shops, and the Hodgeman County Courthouse.

For those who love the water, Horsethief Reservoir and Jetmore City Lake are both nearby.
