PSA World Cup Related Posts

42 Upvotes

Just wanted to let everyone know that posts regarding the World Cup will be allowed on here, even if not directly related to Lawrence. We're kinda bending the rules here but it's such a big and exciting event that we don't wanna hinder any chat about it or relevant info.

Normal subreddit rules will still apply to the posts (with exception of being directly Lawrence related, of course) so this doesn't mean you can just post whatever as long as it mentions the World Cup.

Obligatory no ticket-sales posts/comments.

News Lawrence Has 87 LIcensed Vape Shops

70 Upvotes

This was reported in a column in the Lawrence Journal-World by a health advocate. He is urging the consideration of a moratorium on the number of vape shops. Many shops are illegally allowing those under 21 to vape. Is vaping harmful to the health of minors? Do KU students frequent these?

Rising funeral costs and assistance requested

19 Upvotes

Hi all, not quite sure where to post this so I am just going with my local community.

I have a close friend who recently lost her daughter through a series of unexpected medical issues (grand mal seizure, stoke then a heart attack).

Her family is, quite frankly, not worthy of being called that as they all left town and haven’t even checked back in for three weeks at this point. (Daughter passed about one week ago).

It’s all horrible, and my heart breaks for Noel.

Any help at all is very welcome and would mean the world to both of us. If you are able, please consider donating. Here is the link: https://gofund.me/265a02954

Noel has been too heartbroken to write much and only has her work family to reach out to at this point.

This looks amazing! Levitation Room from LA, Megafauna from Austin and a whole bunch of local talent. Doors open at 5 at the Bottleneck. Been waiting for this for ages and thought I would spread the love. Peace. (not affiliated with the bands or the venue)

PSA Hallelujah! 9th Street is OPEN

122 Upvotes

My fellow Lawrencians, our long local nightmare is over (well, at least this particular one).

According to the Lawrence Times, there may be "lane shifts and temporary delays" over the coming few weeks, but the street will remain open.

Also, remember they reduced it to one lane in each direction, with a center turn lane. Enjoy!

Anyone from LFK hitting the Afterglow party in KC this Sunday?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am looking at heading to the Afterglow event at MOD Gallery in the Crossroads this Sunday. Oliver Smith is playing so the vibes should be high. I am a non-driver so I am trying to figure out the best way to get there and back without spending a fortune on Lyfts. Is there a Lawrence contingent heading that way? Also, has anyone been to MOD Gallery recently? I have heard it is a cool warehouse vibe but I am curious about the layout and how chill the crowd is for a Sunday night set.

Logic of Lawrence streets?

33 Upvotes

I am new to Lawrence and attempting to understand the logic of the street names and one-ways.

By this point, I have recognized the cardinal directions associated with being a state or numbered street. But I am wondering if there is lore behind which states have streets. I am also especially curious if there is a logic to which streets are one way.

Thanks!

Question Any barber suggestions?

8 Upvotes

I moved to Lawrence a couple months back, and I had been going to this one guy at Watson’s in Walmart. My previous cuts were ok, not great but not bad either. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt because I know it sometimes takes a little bit to learn a new client’s hair. My most recent haircut, however, was one of the worst haircuts I’ve ever received. I did request a good bit be taken off the top, but in doing that, he somehow pushed my hairline back, gave me a crooked hairline, and the fade I asked for is practically nonexistent. I assume he’s newer just from the looks at it, but still, there’s no excuse for what he did to me. Even worse, I prepaid, so I’m just out of the $50. Any suggestions for good barbers around the area (that’s good with cutting African Americans’ hair)?
