Another day, another 100 degree weekend on the horizon. I barely even look at the forecast anymore and just assume it’ll be warm. Although the mornings can be quite refreshing.
Let's get to it!

Together with Meritrust Credit Union
Downtown Wichita is getting ready for a major new addition, and Meritrust Credit Union is already there.
The new 350,000-square-foot Wichita Biomedical Campus is taking shape downtown and is set to welcome students in 2027, bringing together health care education and research from Wichita State, WSU Tech and KU.
Right next door, Meritrust’s brand-new Biomed Branch is officially open at 333 E. English.
Whether you live, work or are just spending time downtown, you can stop in for everyday banking, home and auto loans, wealth management and more.
