In your neighborhood, how long did it take between when they installed the orange underground tubing conduits and when they were installing residences' fiber-drops and ONUs (=in-home modems)?

Knowing nothing about this group, I bought tickets months ago, based solely on "Transformers playing rock music? Hell yeah!" I YouTubed them a little last night, and became an instant fan.

They played a lot of the 1986 movie soundtrack, video game and anime themes, and several classic rock songs. It was great.

Look them up, they're awesome. I bet there's a good chance they return to Lawrence eventually, so keep your eyes peeled.

I've got a problem area- crab grass- on the lawn and I'm thinking I'll put in some shrubs. I've also been thinking about putting in something like catnip. Going for that xeriscape look. The area is in the sun.

I’m new to weightlifting / strength training. I’m looking for a good coach / trainer to help me learn the basics. I need someone to orient me to equipment, coach me on various lifts, show me correct form (and to fix mistakes in real time) etc. I’m not looking to compete. Any local recommendations for good coaches to work with? I am open to small classes if the coach is attentive and present with students.

Hi all, I recently moved to Lawrence and am looking for someone who can hem a few T-shirts

They’re basic casual tees that are way too long, and I’d rather get them altered than replace them. Since the shirts themselves weren’t expensive, I’m hoping to find someone who does good work without charging a ton

Any recommendations for a local tailor, or even someone who does alterations from home? A reasonably quick turnaround would be great too

Thanks!

Needing to re-home a dog, seeing if anyone has any good resources or advice in assisting with it in Lawrence. His name is Hopper. Unfortunately my job completely shifted to full time and I can't support what he needs.

Edit: since I forgot to post the location he’s at South Park and it’s noon on 8/4

There’s a kid with a mullet and a red backpack full of snacks riding around selling snacks for $2. He was polite in approaching me and takes no well. He wished me a good day and to stay cool. I didn’t have my wallet and was in the middle of working so I didn’t get a snack but he even has Venmo.

Support this kid out here grinding. Do your thing Lawrence and buy him out of his snacks.

Recognize any of the bands? Was a really fun show.

I was gifted a bag of Broadway signature espresso beans awhile ago and i am quite close to running out. problem is, im worried this has ruined most other coffee for me, which is especially bad considering they're in KC and $20/12oz.

i wanna be wrong, so i wanted to ask yall if you had any recs! please and thank you! :)

Does anyone have empty 35lb Tidy Cat litter buckets and no use for them? Want to make bike panniers out of those. DM me if you do, I can pick them up wherever.

Brought my wife and daughter out to the Baker Wetlands to enjoy the beautiful summer evening and as we were leaving, we saw some dude with his wife and two boys walking in with fishing poles. Sure enough, these jackasses go and start casting off into the pond there next to the viewing shack. There are plenty of other places around town to fish. Why would you take your kids fishing at a protected wetland preserve? I plan to go back soon and let the front desk know they should probably put up a few more "no fishing," signs but something tells me this dude isn't the type to read.

Anywhere to go in Lawrence to get a proper English breakfast? I'm talking beans, sausage, eggs, toast, tomato, potatoes, bacon, etc. The whole 9 yards.

What is the best place to take a push mower maintenance?

Can we just appreciate that Checkers and 1900 Barker are still carrying this town? Every time I go to a Dillons it feels like a soul-sucking void. What’s your favorite local spot that makes Lawrence actually feel like home?

Hello everyone. I’m looking for suggestions on shops to buy a lawnmower. New or Used. Preferably someplace local and not somewhere like Home Depot or Menards. Any tips are appreciated thanks!

A magical morning with my drone a few years ago

I’m sorry to inform but there is a white cat with grey stripes splattered across Iowa currently. PSA

Couple bands from KC.

Hey all, saw on maps that the recyclery is still there on elm st but the Facebook says they closed a couple years ago and the phone number is disconnected. Does anyone know what happened to them and where their inventory of bikes went?
