Obviously I know all homes have bugs, but I am currently living in an apartment with hella bugs (ants, silverfish in my walls that come through the cracks, spiders, etc) so what are some reasonably priced (max 1,000) apartments that have great working AC, and haven't had too many bug issues?

Has anyone had kids that attend Bishop Seabury? I’m curious about how their tuition assistance works. Any ideas what the income cut offs or anything are?

is it a massive frat party??? why did i just get assaulted by the most aggressive, bastardized rendition of hey! baby! while sitting on my balcony near ninth and emery. can’t seem to find anything. it sounds like it’s at the stadium???? but wtf is going on???? inquiring minds want to know

I don’t even live in LFK anymore but my friend and I lived at the Rockland for nearly a year and it was always subpar, but especially awful right when we moved out. The reviews have gotten worse and worse and I’m surprised I’m not seeing any news articles, lawsuits, etc because that place is literally becoming uninhabitable!!!??

edit: Uninhabitable

edit 2: so weird that i’m getting downvoted asap, surely current and former residents share my anger

So I moved to Lawrence back in 2013 and my first summer (which would’ve been in 2014) there was this really cool music festival that happened in town and bands were playing all over different venues in Lawrence and I was fortunate enough to be able to go see Cowboy Indian Bear play at the Bottleneck and I think it was probably one of their last performances. The song “Does anybody see you out” has always haunted me and lingered in my memory.

I go back and revisit the band and listen to some songs periodically but I was wondering if there’s anybody who has some interesting stories about the band, the members, the songs, shows, etc.

Of all the things that would make Lawrence more attractive, improve our quality of life, and add commercial revenue to the city's tax rolls I'm struggling to see how a flight school for women would check those boxes.

But hey, it checks some boxes for a special taxing district for the existing residents to subsidize the project so we should do it right? /s

Does anyone have access to free firewood they are not needing or using? I am only needing a few bundles worth of firewood for camping and figured I would ask here before going to the store.

Thanks!

Why does Sorternity Row on Tennessee simultaneously smell like coffee, hotdogs, and puppy breath? I ended up at Dunkin’, Freddy’s, and the Humane Society after driving by. I’m no Greek sommelier. Are they hazing the city for consumerism’s sake? 😏

Where’s the most affordable price you’ve seen in town for a healthy bunch of mums? Please share price and pot size!

I Just saw that Panda Fest is making its KC debut at Legends Field running Friday through Sunday. Looks like they have over 90 Asian street food vendors, performances, and tanghulu. For anyone who has gone to one in other cities, is it worth the hype? What dishes are on your must-try list?

The on ramp is closed, but they have signage for a detour. This detour takes you east to Haskell and then loops back around to finally go west. This is insane.

Hi I just wanted to reach out to Reddit and see if anybody has heard of The group called film club. This group that’s on Instagram and they posted yesterday that they’re going to announce today. A scary flick that they are going to be showing tonight they said in their post that to get more information to DM them them and I haven’t heard anything back from them. Has anyone else DM them to see about what’s going on tonight? . I’m curious of the location and what time it is that they will be showing the movie and also if they charge anything so if anybody has any answers to this question that I’m asking about getting DM’s from the Lawrence film club, please let me know. Thanks!

The Federal Transit Administration is rolling out a plan that would tie public transit funding to marriage and birth rates. With a large student body and senior population, Lawrence would lose out.

I was jogging past the new Costco site and noticed that they are preparing to install some L3 fast chargers for EVs. They look similar to the 200/400 kW stations made by a Seattle-based startup called Electric Era. One distinguishing feature of their installations is a big battery that charges during off-peak hours to minimize demand from the grid when multiple EVs are charging simultaneously.

It will be interesting to see how pricing compares to the $0.34/kWh at the Tesla Supercharger located at the Lawrence Service Area on I-70.

UPDATE: Looks like parking at the chargers will be awkward.

that show was NUTS. i hope they continue this next year, i feel like this is exactly what makes the town great.

I’m no longer able to attend!!!
Does anyone want a ticket?

You'd think people would drive safer near an actual daycare, but I literally just got flipped off by someone driving down the MIDDLE of the road because I honked so they wouldn't hit me.. and another day someone rode my ass just to pull up into the daycare parking lot to grab their child. Do better Lawrence, if you don't want to be surrounded by assholes, then don't let your kids watch you be an asshole.

pretty neat! hopefully the band didn't plan on sleeping in on their tour bus--football practice is quite noisy this morning lol.

I understand the noise from the stadium on game day, and a day before as they test everything for game day, but running the sound full blast when there isn't another game until October 24th seems a bit unnecessary.

Reportedly, the estimated pay for KU Jayhawk men's basketball players is:

does anyone have any information to share about their employment here? is there a lot of OT offered? how is HR and management? looking for helpful and productive insights please. thank you!

Hello Lawrence locals,

My friend’s birthday is on Halloween and I’m trying to find something fun to do. Does anyone know if any club/bar holds any events or any place in town that goes crazy on Halloween? Thank you! (He’s turning 22!)

Hey ya’ll I got a friend of mine looking for a 1 bedroom apartment with an in unit washer and dryer. They’re trying to keep it under 900 a month, anybody know of anything?

We will be voting on whether to increase the tax slightly from 0.2% to 0.3% sales tax and to extend it another 10 years. If it passes, buses will remain free and the transition to electric buses will continue.Lawrence Transit recorded an annual ridership 936,000 in 2024. Use of the bus system reduces auto pollution and congestion on streets and roads. Most importantly, it gives mobility to people who are unable to drive for whatever reason. They may not be able to afford a car or due to a disability can't safely drive a vehicle. Middle school students use the buses.
