It’s not an easy road to Greensburg, Kan.
No airlines offer direct flights from Chattanooga, and most route you through three other cities before your turboprop reaches the dusty municipal runway in Dodge City, 10 hours after you left the Scenic City. Then you drive 50 miles on flat Kansas blacktop to reach Greensburg, whose population is smaller than some East Brainerd neighborhoods.
“We’re back up to about 850 or 900 people,” said Greensburg Mayor Bob Dixson.
The closest Walmart is 30 miles west of town. Until a few years ago, the drugstore sold drinks out of a soda fountain, and for decades, the town’s main tourist attraction was the world’s largest hand-dug well (109 feet, built in 1888).
