PSA World Cup Related Posts

44 Upvotes

Just wanted to let everyone know that posts regarding the World Cup will be allowed on here, even if not directly related to Lawrence. We're kinda bending the rules here but it's such a big and exciting event that we don't wanna hinder any chat about it or relevant info.

Normal subreddit rules will still apply to the posts (with exception of being directly Lawrence related, of course) so this doesn't mean you can just post whatever as long as it mentions the World Cup.

Obligatory no ticket-sales posts/comments.

Where can I go to play pool where there isn’t alcohol available to buy? I work with recovering addicts and they want to play pool but everywhere we can think of has alcohol.

Thanks!

I Voted in Person Today

13 Upvotes

I voted in person today at the Douglas County Elections Office in the Malls Shopping Center (23rd & Louisiana). It was busy at 9:30 am and it took 10 minutes. I voted on the two propositions (constitutional amendment and transit tax) but didn't read them. Nor did I vote on the many judges. The last day to vote early is Monday, Nov 2 (until noon).

Question Which library is best?

4 Upvotes

I’m newer to Lawrence and live on the west side. I wanted to get a library card but when I looked up libraries in Lawrence there’s multiple. Which one is the best one that you recommend? I love to read but don’t frequent them too much so one across town wouldn’t bother me.

Pretty crazy thunderstorm today

46 Upvotes

I was just walking out of the grocery store tonight and saw some lightning connecting with the ground somewhere not too far away. Then I saw more lightning strikes, and heard booming thunder like with multiple syllables. I saw clouds looking like ash and look pretty low to the ground in my opinion.

Honestly, definitely seen thunderstorms before, but there was a lot of lightning. I have some trash to take out but I think later as I would rather not get struck by lightning.

Good day to stay inside.

Still reminiscing about Lawrence

36 Upvotes

With basketball season approaching and looking forward to watching KU bball, it really has me missing my time in Lawrence. I’ve been googling some of my favorite places and using Google Maps a lot to virtually “drive around”. I was there in early 2000’s and so much has changed. Areas around the campus have modernized, old bars are no longer around, new developments have popped up, but some of my favorite areas look to be untouched. I know this isn’t exclusive to Lawrence. It’s just part of life/evolution. But I’m curious to hear from locals how Lawrence has changed over the last 25 years and do you think it’s for the better? What do you miss the most and what has stood the test of time?

Wichita Developer Wants Sales Taxes from Costco

81 Upvotes

Phil Bundy, a Wichita developer, has plans for a development in the Wakarusa River 100-year floodplain (and also at 15th St. and K-10, and at the airport too). He wants to fund them all with STAR bonds.  If the City grants the bonds, all sales tax revenue from the projects will be foregone (the public loses this revenue for 20 years). In a strange twist, the new Costco sales tax revenues will claimed by the developer, even though Costco is not his project!

Basement humidity levels

5 Upvotes

Do you have a finished basement? If yes, do you measure the moisture levels? What is it typically during summer? Ours is around 60-65 during the day and I’m told we have a moisture or drainage problem but I’ve asked a few friends and theirs are also in the 60s. Thought I check here too!

Hey Lawrence, heading to my first Zombie Walk this year. Is South Park the best place to catch the kickoff, or do people usually grab a spot along Mass St? Would love any advice on timing and where to stand. Thanks!

Question Beetlejuice movie at Oak Hill cemetery

2 Upvotes

I was just wondering how many people are planning on going to the Beetlejuice event at Oak Hills Cemetery on October 24. I know it’s going to be a smashing good time. This will be my first time I’ve ever seeing a movie in a graveyard but it hasn’t been my first time that I’ve seen Beetlejuice. If anybody would like to have a discussion about the Beetlejuice movie and what a good movie it is feel free to hit me up
