Now you may be asking yourself, what kind of place is El Dorado, Kansas? \u00a0At the Red Coach Inn breakfast Fox News was on the television. \u00a0I could have purchased a Glenn Beck book titled Control for $7.64 from the Inn’s magazine rack and the local paper had, on the front page, news that a new middle school sidewalk had been built.<\/p>\n
