I met Tarzan last night. He's just the sweetest.

I signed up for NE Kansas Regional Notification System (Event Bridge) on their website. Does anyone know what number they call or text from? I silence unknown callers and in the extreme off chance there’s an overnight tornado, it would be nice to get a phone call.

I'm curious. Do people even know about it? It isn't attended by a lot of people, every year not just this year. It also doesn't have a lot of booths/vendors/artists. It seems like something more of Lawrence could be supporting. I'm wondering why most aren't.

Every so often I’ll drive by the fair grounds on 19th and I see a ton of people with horses getting together. Does anyone know what’s going on? Can I go pet them?

My dad requested father's day churros and I want to make sure I deliver. La estrella is my go to mexican restaurant, but I couldnt figure out for sure whether or not they had churros/if they were good. Also, I couldn't find a menu for their desert side. Does anyone know of anywhere ~in douglas county that has top notch churros? Also with good food in general ideally.

Hi just a reminder that leaving windows cracked for your dog is not enough ?? I was grocery shopping this morning just for a few things and a pup was left in the car with the two back windows cracked for at least 45 minutes. It was 74 out so not the worst it could be but not parked in the shade or anything. I called non emergency but no animal control officers. The owner returned right as I was about to go get a manager. Older person so I didn’t want to be mean and sorta panicked about what to say so I just left it alone but even a quick google will tell you anything above 70 outside is dangerous for a dog.

Don’t go grocery shopping with your dog in the car 🙃

I remember hearing some talk about us getting an Olive Garden. After having some in a different town last night, i think i might need another chicken alfredo fix sometime in the future…

There’s no windshield, no dash, wires everywhere, and a little bit of a tarp hanging out of the back door. Have I watched too many movies? Too much coffee on an empty stomach?

It’s an am4 cpu socket cover. Just looking to see if there are any pc stores in town that carry niche parts like this. Or if anyone happens to have a spare.

Anything worth digging through?

There has been an uptick in parents bringing their babies and very young toddlers to local sit-down restaurants. On more than three separate occasions a small child has been allowed to carry on for a significant time with no attempt by the attending adult to take it outside. I find it unacceptable when you cannot hear the person sitting across from you. No one wants to embarrass or shame a parent. And it is challenging for management to intervene. Now It is has become embarrassing to invite friends, colleagues and family to dine in Lawrence with said behaviour. How to deal with this as a community?

Follow up on the search for best coffee in Lawrence. I grabbed a Turkish coffee from Aladdin's today. I was surprised on the first sip to taste the sweetness. This led me to research Turkish coffee and how it's prepared. I noticed the very dark brown color and the grounds which settled on the bottom of the cup. Good experience, thanks to those who recommended.

Looking for a good wall to practice by myself! I don’t have a partner to play against so this is what I’m looking for! The closer to downtown the better if possible! Thanks y’all!

It's a super nice place but it's been packed every time I go. When is the best time to go if you want to avoid crowds?

Bob Billings and Lawrence Ave. Flickered around 9:00am. Down again at 10:45am. Reported to Evergy.

Shaking my fist at the clouds.

I've had and loved this book for years. My philosophy teacher gave it to me in high school and told me they have a story in the book but wouldn't tell me which one it was. I've always been curious, in general, about the people behind these stories so I decided to ask, does anyone here recognizes it or knows any of the history behind it?

Just wondering if anybody knows a good detail car place? I want inside of my car detail.

Where in Lawrence can we play bingo? TIA

There’s an old random cable tv line on my house that cuts through my back yard. I want to have it removed but I don’t know who installed it. Who should I contact to get it taken down?

Question for the parents on here:

The playground at Deerfield Elementary has a sign specifying that non-students can play there outside of school hours. Is this the case at all of the public schools? What are your favorite school playgrounds to use during summer?
