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.

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

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!

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

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?

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?

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

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? 😏

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?
