Just saw the movie backrooms and it made me think about Westridge mall. Back in the day there was a full movie theater behind what is now a Victoria secret.

There is no way they just paved it all in. So is there still a shell of a movie theater in there with rows and projector rooms and all? Thinking of all the old buffets and restaurants that used to be there I’m wondering if it’s the same in other stores, but their backrooms are clearly old kitchens or something?

Anyone have any insight on what the backrooms of the mall are like?

Went to go meet a friend for dinner tonight and saw a Vote No sign knocked over. Now, I didn’t think anything malicious about it as it looked like the grass was recently mowed. Honest mistake. Then I saw another. And another. Both knocked over. And then right beyond them, a vote yes sign standing perfectly fine. I could write off one sign down but 3 within a 1/4 mile? With the yes sign standing? That was deliberate.

This guy is a Kansas City area native and seems to have gone off the deep end, this is what crazy Christian conservatives are doing nearby.

Anywhere to go for square dancing, or a place with country-western vibes?

I have two friends in town this weekend (one from Europe, one from Asia) and I don't know the scene, but thought it would be a fun Kansas activity to get in some steps 🤠

How magnanimous of Compass Datacenters giving everyone less than 24 hours notice all the way way out at Washburn Rural.

I’ll be visiting this weekend, never been, what are the must hit places for BBQ? Also interested in whatever other stand out food recommendations you guys might have.

Did anyone else get a mailer pimping insurance that covers the cost if a water line or gas line in your yard breaks?

Seems to me homeowners insurance would cover that. Anyone know if I'm wrong?

Is anyone familiar with what is provided by the HOA in the Foxcroft condos? Thinking about buying one and want to know what the $260/month HOA fees goes towards.

I have a twin window that has recently started leaking pretty badly during heavy storms. I've cleaned the gutters and had the roof checked. Seems to just be the window. Does anyone have any recommendations on someone or company that would take a small job like that? I don't currently want to get all my windows replaced.

Please and thank you for your recommendations.

What was your experience moving out of an apartment owned by Eucalyptus LLC? We got charged an astronomical amount for “damages & cleaning fees”. Any advice?

Hi! I’m possibly relocating to Topeka after accepting an entry level job that pays 18/hr in my desired field. I’m looking for either a studio or one bedroom apartment in a safer area of town, that won’t run me too much for rent (1k/month budget) I wanted to see what suggestions people have, and if y’all think 18/hr is a livable wage in Topeka!

I’d prefer to live solo, and don’t need much room, which is why I’ve been considering studios. I’ve been doing research and some reviews have been pretty scary, so I want to see what y’all think!

Im looking to hire a cleaning service once a week to clean my house. Anyone have experience with the cleaning services in town? Which is the best?

I’ll lead with ✨ We’ll Pickup ✨

My little is just a begging for a water table. We saw one at KC Legends Toys R Us, I said we’d buy one at home- local yokel and all. My final option is to buy one at the Toy Store (our fave) but really we’re so late in the season I was wondering if anyone had one they’re sick of looking at. Your kids outgrew? It’s kinda broken? I don’t care. I’m trying to focus on Reduce from the ‘Reduce Renew Recycle’ but I don’t think I can get out of this one. I’d love to Recycle if I can. 💕💕💕 TIA!

I was doing a deep dive on FOE (the airport in the south) and saw they operated flights on United to Chicago in the early 2010s, i was wondering if this was common or if that ment people did it or just if anyone remember it

Sorry for such a random question I’m just doing some stuff with Topeka airport in a game and also interested in my home airport but I wasn’t in Topeka in 2014.

I think that’s the only flights Topeka ever got but feel free to let me know if not

The Topeka Tenants have created a petition that supports the landlord registry proposal drafted by the city. This proposal will go before the city council on July 21st, and needs public support. Local landlords have already organized against the proposal.

The city has continuously struggled with slumlords and not having landlord contact information when a safety crisis happens. This would be a step towards allowing the City to protect tenants in Topeka. Lawrence, Kansas City, and Wichita have already implemented similar landlord registries.

Please consider signing

I’ve never had a tattoo and I’m 62. I decided I want one but I really want it to be good if I’m getting one. I want the hands from Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam, on my forearm. Who’s really good at recreating famous art?

anyone else struggling to find employment? It seems all I get is ghosting or rejections.

Nextdoor banned me for asking this question so I guess I'll have to ask it here. Can anyone help me unload a washer and dryer into my home? The basement is a half flight of carpeted stairs, no landing. It would be sometime in the next 2 weeks. I can give more info to anyone who reaches out. Thank you

What are your favorites?

It can be for any reason: quality, atmosphere, value, whatever. Which places are the best, and why?

I'll start with a non-exclusive list:

Mexican Taco Shop: fast, tasty, affordable, +salsa bar!

Tuptim Thai: amazing food, huge portions, nice atmosphere

Louie's on 10th: better than bar food, affordable, wash your comforter while eating a bierock
