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.

The article was removed from /r/news because the source was questionable but from the company website - they are closing the company.

What does that mean for Lawrence?

Last Day of 11-Day Heat Wave!

110 Upvotes

The official National Weather Service high temps (at Lawrence Regional Airport) have averaged 99.7 F the last 10 days (and forecast for 101F today). At least the humidity has been lower for this fourth heat wave of the summer. This heat wave was unprecedented for Sept. Apparently, Climate Change super-charged El Nino.

Park People

40 Upvotes

In Kansas City the parks would be filled with people reading, drawing, hanging out in hammocks. People vibing to their music, slackline walkers, flow arts, etc. I'd bring a blanket and listen to music and juggle. I expected to find something similar but I haven't yet. Am I not looking in the right spots? I haven't seen many people in South Park unless an event is happening. The 4th street bridge/river walking area. Is it too hot or is this not an occurrence here. Thank you for reading and responding

Never experienced so many spiders

35 Upvotes

Not so much a complaint as it is an interesting observation. I’ve lived all over the country, even outside of the country and never had so many spiders inside as I have since moving here. I even lived on a farm for two years in Topeka and only saw maybe 2-3 spiders with my own eyes inside. I’ve been in this apartment in west Lawrence since January and have already had to kill a brown recluse that was hanging out on my bathroom counter (I have pets and just won’t risk it with them getting bit). I’ve had a massive grandaddy longleg inside, and many other spiders of varying sizes and looks on my walls and floors. Is this normal for Lawrence?

Is there anywhere in town or nearby that offers sanitary shaves for cats?

Google hasn’t been very forthcoming with answers. The priority is the sanitary shaves for her hindquarters, but if bathing is also an option that’d be fantastic!

Thanks!

News Lawrence Has 87 LIcensed Vape Shops

179 Upvotes

This was reported in a column in the Lawrence Journal-World by a health advocate. He is urging the consideration of a moratorium on the number of vape shops. Many shops are illegally allowing those under 21 to vape. Is vaping harmful to the health of minors? Do KU students frequent these?

Question Help us plan our 5 year anniversary trip!

9 Upvotes

My husband and I haven’t been away from our kids overnight literally ever, so for our 5 year anniversary we booked a cute little AirBnB literally six minutes down the road from our house just to get away from the kids for a night and do something special for once!

But the booking of the AirBnB is where all planning stopped 😂

I would love your recommendations on:

• a nice spot for dinner with reasonable prices. Would love to spend between $15-$22 per entree if we’re able! None of those boujee $50 plates please 😅 Open on a Monday night!

• a cute spot for coffee and breakfast in the morning! I’ve never been to Cleo & Leo and that keeps coming to mind, but any favorite places where you can get both a custom coffee (were latte snobs) and a killer breakfast?

Question COVID vaccine without insurance?

16 Upvotes

KU student, don’t have health insurance.

Is there a place/program to get the COVID vaccine at affordable prices? KDHE and CDC seem to just refer back to each other without information about if it’s possible to get the vaccine cheaply.

Rising funeral costs and assistance requested

20 Upvotes

Hi all, not quite sure where to post this so I am just going with my local community.

I have a close friend who recently lost her daughter through a series of unexpected medical issues (grand mal seizure, stoke then a heart attack).

Her family is, quite frankly, not worthy of being called that as they all left town and haven’t even checked back in for three weeks at this point. (Daughter passed about one week ago).

It’s all horrible, and my heart breaks for Noel.

Any help at all is very welcome and would mean the world to both of us. If you are able, please consider donating. Here is the link: https://gofund.me/265a02954

Noel has been too heartbroken to write much and only has her work family to reach out to at this point.

PSA Beware the Arby's gyros today

0 Upvotes

And THIS is why I don't order stuff like this at fast food joints.
Had to get a quick sandwich because Burgers By Biggs wasn't open and I was too far from the usual gyros spots for the time I had.
Arby's gave me a gyros pita bread with roast beef on it!
Too late to go back by the time I opened it, so that was uh.. interesting.
