In Truman Capote's novel "In Cold Blood" he describes Emporia as "a large town, almost a city, and a safe place..." Emporia still feels that way. It has aspects of a town where people know one another and yet can also seem at times like a small city. My family moved here when I was a boy and I grew up in Emporia. I live in rural Lyon County not far from there now. The photo is from two miles out side of town facing toward Emporia. Emporia is not a big town or a place for tourists but I know the town well and I will show you all the things an outsider would miss.

 The University Inn has been closed for over three years. Many consider The Grand Hotel in Cottonwood Falls (20 miles southwest of Emporia), the best place to stay in the area.
