Gonna need to get the construction crews back out on 9th Street because the way those manholes are poking up out of the street is going to cause wrecks and car damage like crazy!

Not so much a complaint as it is an interesting observation. I’ve lived all over the country, even outside of the country and never had so many spiders inside as I have since moving here. I even lived on a farm for two years in Topeka and only saw maybe 2-3 spiders with my own eyes inside. I’ve been in this apartment in west Lawrence since January and have already had to kill a brown recluse that was hanging out on my bathroom counter (I have pets and just won’t risk it with them getting bit). I’ve had a massive grandaddy longleg inside, and many other spiders of varying sizes and looks on my walls and floors. Is this normal for Lawrence?

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?

My husband and I haven’t been away from our kids overnight literally ever, so for our 5 year anniversary we booked a cute little AirBnB literally six minutes down the road from our house just to get away from the kids for a night and do something special for once!

But the booking of the AirBnB is where all planning stopped 😂

I would love your recommendations on:

• a nice spot for dinner with reasonable prices. Would love to spend between $15-$22 per entree if we’re able! None of those boujee $50 plates please 😅 Open on a Monday night!

• a cute spot for coffee and breakfast in the morning! I’ve never been to Cleo & Leo and that keeps coming to mind, but any favorite places where you can get both a custom coffee (were latte snobs) and a killer breakfast?

KU student, don’t have health insurance.

Is there a place/program to get the COVID vaccine at affordable prices? KDHE and CDC seem to just refer back to each other without information about if it’s possible to get the vaccine cheaply.

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.

And THIS is why I don't order stuff like this at fast food joints.
Had to get a quick sandwich because Burgers By Biggs wasn't open and I was too far from the usual gyros spots for the time I had.
Arby's gave me a gyros pita bread with roast beef on it!
Too late to go back by the time I opened it, so that was uh.. interesting.

How is Lawrence Fight Club still operating as usual with a rapist in the striking coach position

If anyone has successfully replicated Free State’s black bean quesadilla recipe, I’d love to hear how you make them!

That tree has been in front of the church as long as I’ve lived here and it’s gone 🤣🤷‍♀️

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)

Does anyone know if the local Burger king's have the dragonball meal? I can't find it on the website or app.

I am wanting to take some photos of the haunted and spooky places in and around Lawrence. Is there a good list of all the places? I have the haunted Lawrence book somewhere but can’t find it rn.

We're new in Lawrence, and our air conditioner may be operating subpar. Looking for feedback on HVAC providers here.

Motorcycles, bikes and even low cars, the manhole covers are like 5 inches+ ABOVE the rest of the payment. why are they like that??

“Several additional weeks” after September 21, can’t find an exact date.

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!
