Today was the first time I’d driven I-70 across Kansas since, I believe, 2002 so I was looking for things that had changed. I notice a few small items not worth mentioning but this one was just funny. On the Western edge of Russell, KS there is a big sign telling everyone how the town is the home of both Bob Dole and Arlen Spector. Right next to it was an even bigger sign advertising one of the several adult superstores along the highway. Ah, the free market.
