Tuesday, March 27

Sound Off: Is Crestline Drive a public or private street between Bob Billings Parkway and University Drive? There is a large commercial sign in the middle of the road, and I thought it was a private development instead of a public street. Which is it? Can private enterprises have signs on public roads?

Sunday, March 18

Saturday, March 17

Sound Off: On the new job classified system on LJWorld.com, why do jobs not always appear the day they are posted? I check the website several times during the day and it shows no jobs for that day, but when I visit the site the next day, it states there were jobs posted “yesterday.”

Tuesday, March 13

Sound Off: I plan to have a watch party Sunday for KU’s second NCAA Tournament game and need to know what time that game will be played. I don’t understand why the Journal-World can’t just print the tipoff time for both games in Omaha, instead of just the Friday game. Please tell me what time Sunday’s game is.

Monday, March 12

Monday, March 5

Sound Off: Lots of businesses around town that have double-doors at their entrance have a habit of only unlocking one. As a customer, I find it very annoying to tug on a door only to find that it’s locked, and I have to use the one next to it. In addition to being annoying, is this also a fire code violation?
