Wichita Then and Now

We've been wanting to make this video for quite some time. Just a little bit of history for those who don't know or like to reminisce! This week we take a look at some of Wichita's oldest and most historic buildings.
P.S. We clean a few of them =)
I own none of the old photos, all credit goes to wichitaphotos.org and their original producers.
If you would like to see more old pics please check them out, also take a look at wichitavortex.com/ict/ which is where we got a lot of inspiration.

Geesh...haven't ANYTHING change! I was born and raised in Wichita but I've literally been gone for 20 years! I could imagine how I would feel if I was to go back. It would probably feel like if I was going back in time literally! But say, ain't no place like home❤️❤️❤️

[@ButterCookie1984]

I was born in 77, moved there in around 79-80. Left in the mid 80s for Memphis. My gosh, Wichita has always had my heart. It was the place of my formative years. Even tho I'm black, I never felt racial tension there, not even when we moved out to Derby by 84. Wichita will forever be my home, and I am relocating there in 2 yrs.
Wichita, I'm coming home.

The library just got moved to a new spot. I used to go to all the car shows at century two and my mma gym is in the Delano district

[@revomedia1629]

I’m from there. Good to know it will look the same if I ever decide to move back.

[@timothysmith7436]

Revo Media you won’t recognize the place.

Yrs ago I drove by the city building when the clock tower was on fire. I wish I had a camera it was a stunning & oddly beautiful sight to behold.
Thx for uploading this (nice work)

When I saw the old photo of Union Station my thought was, "bet that place is gone!" Much to my surprise the old station still exists. I can't imagine passenger trains depart from it anymore as I don't think there is any railroad passenger service to Wichita. So what purpose is the Union Station now? Nobody seems to know!

Its a call center now

This is old enough now you could ad a third image to each of these and there would be some surprisingly big changes. Call it "Wichita Then and Then and Now".

WICHITA NEEDS SOMETHING WITH AN OBSERVATION DECK 500+ FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL.

[@TwiggyKeely]

They have one on the 24th floor of the Garvey Building. I lived in a penthouse apartment on the 25th floor, best views of Wichita ever!

[@cubby091398]

@@TwiggyKeely Hunny I want something more than double the height of the Garvey Center. Wichita needs to go big. Every major city in the Midwest has a building or icon that is 600+ feet tall except for South Dakota and North Dakota. Our tallest building is the Epic Center and is 385 feet to the tip of the iconic sloped roof.

[@cubby091398]

@@TwiggyKeely In addition Des Moines, Iowa which is half the population and half the size of Wichita has a building that is 630 feet tall and they have had it since 1991.
