Stark Cafe Draws Friday Night Crowd in Rural Kansas
In Stark Kansas a single downtown block centers community life around the Stark Cafe. On Friday nights 30 plus cars line the street as locals and visitors come for fried chicken, live music and a welcoming open mic. The cafe, started in 1969, now spans two buildings after community volunteers knocked down a fire wall to expand.
