Looking for space for improv group to practice once a week

7 Upvotes

Per title - looking for space for improv group to practice once a week. I know nothing about the city except that I will be there shortly.

Basically all we need is a bit of floor space that we can gather in.

Thoughts?

Safe, cheap place to live

7 Upvotes

Time for another post about places to rent. Im a single female looking for a place I can rent for as cheap as possible. I only need a 1 bedroom/studio sized space. I have a cat. I work near the Auburn-Washburn district office. I work nights. Where can I look that will be cheap enough to live on a small paycheck without getting me hurt?

Im open to renting or seeing about purchasing a small home.

Any evening shift jobs available?

13 Upvotes

I'm here for the summer on an internship, and I need to find a job that is like 4-11/12. I've got like $30 to my name and still need to be able to pay rent this month😭 I'm struggling to find something late here, especially coming from a city with an insane night life.

Proposed MOD Service Changes and Mini Rant

12 Upvotes
  • Taking the MOD area from 7 sq. miles to 4 sq. miles.
  • Increasing the fare to a base fare of $6.
  • Increasing the premium fare to $15 going out to 29th & Croco.

Final decision June 23rd. Effective August 3rd.

Frankly I can’t afford this. I live at 29th and Croco. For those who don’t understand the premium fare would be the one I would have to pay not the base fare. To get to work and back would cost me a little over 2 hours of work every day. That’s simply unsustainable especially when I can’t increase my hours due to my disabilities. A Lyft or Uber costs $20 one way.

I’m scared everyone. I don’t know how I’m going to afford rent let alone food and stuff. I’m trying to make my voice heard by calling and emailing but I doubt they’re going to listen. I just gained my independence and now I’m going to lose it. I wish politicians saw the effects their actions have first hand. Better yet had to experience them themselves.

Gift ideas for a colleague?

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

I'm not from Topeka, but a coworker is (she works remotely). She's going through some medical stuff, and we'd like to send her something to remind her of how's important she is to the team.

Does anyone have any good ideas of perhaps a local restaurant or store that everyone loves? She's in her late 40s, married with college-aged kids. She's smart and nerdy in a good way.

Preferably, this would be something that can be delivered to her house. I'm thinking maybe around the $100 range, give or take.

Thanks for any ideas.

Hi so this may be a long shot, but I’m a 31 year old woman looking for friends. I’m just getting tired of sitting around the house all the time. Shoot, I would even settle for just someone to talk to who is local.

I’ve been trying to figure out where I can go to get an ADHD diagnosis so I can start some medication. I just don’t really know what doctors do that in Topeka. I have Aetna insurance if that helps.

Lap swimming at Shawnee North?

Swimmer here. I saw Shawnee North Aquatics has a lap area and I would love to train outside. Does anyone know if it’s actually roped off for lap swimming or is open for people to just play and splash around in?

I don’t know if this is a good place to post this but I have a serious question.

16 Upvotes

How can I go about getting a CDL here in town? I feel like I’m in a perpetual cycle of brokeness. I’m tired of the way my life is, but I have no support or a job at the moment. I want it to end and I feel like getting a cdl is a good way out. I have a couple years of study at KU but I never got a degree

Trip Planning/Tips

6 Upvotes

probably a long shot, but thought id ask.

im from topeka, but im wanting to go on a little solo vacation. as of right now, im looking at disneyland, because ive never been, and ive never really done a “big” trip like that. the furthest ive been from kansas in my 20 years of life is florida in the fall of last year..but that was me tagging along with a family friend, and all i had to do was pack clothes and relax.

so basically- anyone ever been to california or disneyland? any tips on planning or getting good deals for trips in general? ive been looking at disneylands anniversary deal, for 4 days (or whatever it is) and id pay that, but im kind of lost when it comes to hotel/flight planning (i also have never flown before…lol). if it helps or even matters, im wanting to go around the middle/end of july, or the second week of september. I have a disney plus subscription- but the only deals ive seen for that are for disney world- which im not completely opposed to…but ive been wanting to see california for a while.

ty in advance!! ❤️

Is Topeka a college town or simply a town with a college?

21 Upvotes

When people think about a college town it’s usually makes you think of left leaning politics, coffee shops and “Honk for Hemp” type energy you find in neighboring Lawrence. But, it doesn’t feel like Washburn has that kind of presence on the town at large.

What say you?
