this is the real/virtual realm of Nowhere Kansas. Nowhere, KS is really a town name as it was at one time a terminus of the Midland Railway. It is near Baldwin City. Source(s): http://www.midland-ry.org/midland/midlan…

No "Road to Nowhere" by Talking Heads on your soundtrack?

Did you travel that route? Or did you just look up driving directions on the Google machine?

I think the task wants you to find the middle of nowhere, not study and learn about the middle of nowhere.

I think I did FIND it. If you really insist on a physical presence in the midst of nowhere, isn't that existentially contradictory?


If you would like, you can press the "View Larger Map" below the book recommendation and go to street level-- pushing the white arrow for the extent of your Google maps virtual road trip.

Highly recommended

The spirit of this completion was the idea that Nowhere Kansas is a figurative literary expression - like BF Egypt. The idea that is exists moves it beyond the subjective which is what someones opinion might entail.

I was thinking about doing a video journey into my vacuum cleaner -- but it has been done.

But please do enjoy the google roadtrip by pressing the white arrows on street level and this haiku
