On October 16, 2003, the Wichita Area Treatment, Education & Remediation (WATER) Center, the treatment center for the Gilbert-Mosley Project, located within the Herman-Hill Park, celebrated its grand opening.

"The Gilbert & Mosley Project is considered to be one of the most innovative public-private partnerships ever created to solve the complex environmental problem of groundwater contamination," . "This project has earned the City of Wichita national recognition for its development to avoid Superfund intervention and the impacts upon public health, environmental risks and the local economy." The State Legislature at the time forward-thinking legislation was passed to make the clean up a reality.

The facility located in Herman-Hill Park houses the equipment, a hydraulic-venturi air stripper treatment system, needed to clean the polluted groundwater, and is designed to encourage public interest and observation on how groundwater is remediated. The other half of the remediation system consists of 5.5 miles of conveyance piping and thirteen extraction wells, which extract and convey the polluted groundwater to the WATER Center treatment facility. The system is operated to limit the spread of and to remove the groundwater contamination.]]> Water treatment demonstration project at Herman Hill Park

Wichita once had as many Drive-in theatres as are
currently operating throughout the entire state of
Kansas. There is some compensation and solace,
by the fact that Wichita's sole remaining outdoor
picture show is an exemplary Drive-in experience.
It is also the largest of the state's Drive-in theatres,
with two screens and a capacity for up to 1300 cars.
The Starlite's twins are lit with double features, and
on Friday and Saturday nites, a bonus triple feature, for
one admission price. Audio is provided with a local FM
radio broadcast, as well as traditional pole speakers.]]> Starlite Twin Drive-in

From the link below:
"The first large-scale production version of the Stratofortress was the B-52D (Model 464-201-7), of which 170 were built between June 1956 and November 1957. The B-52D was externally indistinguishable from the B-52C which preceded it. The only significant internal difference was the adoption of the MD-9 fire control system as fitted to the final B-52C. The powerplants were the J57-P-19W or -29W. In contrast to the B-52C, which was readily convertible to the reconnaissance configuration, the B-52D was built exclusively for the long-range bombing role.

The B-52D was the first Stratofortress to be built at two different locations. 69 examples were built at Boeing's Wichita, Kansas facility, with the remainer being built in the main Boeing plant in Seattle. The Wichita plant had originally been owned by the Stearman Aircraft Company but had been acquired by Boeing in 1934 and became a Boeing division in 1939. It had been used during World War 2 as an inland site for B-29 manufacture. The decision to shift B-52 production from Seattle to Wichita was a result of several factors. The commercial business at Seattle was picking up and Boeing needed more plant space to handle the orders. It so happened that there was a large, well-qualified work force already at hand in Wichita which was working on the B-47, the production of which was winding down.
