If you are at that stage in your life where you are finally ready to leave the workforce behind and retire, well, congratulations. You’ve worked hard, perhaps for your whole life, and now that it’s time to retire, that’s exactly what you’ll have plenty of: time. Time to travel, to take up that hobby you always wanted to, or perhaps just kick back and relax with a book. With all of these options available to you now, there is one question left unanswered: Where is the best place to do it?
The Movoto Real Estate Blog has been on a mission to answer that question. Today, we’re looking at you, Kansas. Here are the 10 best places in the Sunflower State to retire to, starting with our winner, Pittsburg.
1. City of Pittsburg
2. City of Newton
3. Arkansas City
4. City of Haysville
5. El Dorado City
5. City of Wichita
7. City of Leawood
8. City of Derby
8. City of Parsons
10. City of Overland Park
Kansas locals can probably see that these results are as varied as can be; but for retirees, there are a few commonalities that all of these places share.

On April 2, 2014 the School Resource Officer at Haysville Middle School was made aware of an incident involving a student creating a list of other students that was viewed to be threatening in nature. After investigating it appears that the student who was writing the list was taking part in a variation of an “Assassin game”. The Assassin game consists of groups of people being on a list. Players on the list will attempt to “assassinate” other players by marking them, in this case with a sharpie marker. The game is over when there is only one person left on the list. According to a simple internet search, the game is popular amongst college students as well as with summer camps. There are rules posted on various sites on the internet. In this particular case it does not appear that any criminal activity has occurred. Officers will continue to follow up on any additional information that is found. The Sedgwick County District Attorney’s office has also been consulted, although no formal charges will be presented to them at this time. The Haysville School District may impose consequences for violation of school policy.
Statement from Haysville Public Schools:
Haysville USD 261 strives to provide a safe and secure learning environment for all our students. Haysville Middle was not the appropriate setting for the “Assassin Game” to be played.
When a threatening note listing several students was found safety protocols were initiated with District and Law Enforcement personnel investigating the incident. Compiling a list targeting other students is NEVER appropriate. District officials will meet to decide suitable disciplinary action.
