The good stuff is the whatever is on the daily special. I thought everyone local knew that.
Asparagus cakes surely are on the horizon...

Topeka man injured in accidental shooting at Perry Lake
Oh, people are going to look like idiots even if the facts are all in. Let's see... camping in Perry, Kansas (dangerous!!! I'm skeered. Better take my gunz!), self-inflicted gunshot wound in the middle of the night. Probably just a misunderstanding of some kind. Seriously, what kind of idiot would defend that guy KNOWING all the facts? (My apologies to people who know the guy and think he's a great person--which he might very well be--who, other than shooting himself, proudly represents the 2nd amendment). Responsible gun owners ought to be mocking this guy.
I'm still waiting for the LJW to do a story about me and my life yesterday, a whole day when I didn't shoot myself. Didn't today yet. Probably won't tomorrow either. I might even go camping--and I still won't shoot myself. That's a huge story right there.

Mexican restaurant Tapas closes as it loses lease on downtown building; Mexquisito expands into Eudora
Chillax, John_Tesh. They're about 10 doors apart, opened at roughly the same time, was confusing to patrons as to which was which, and the best restaurant of the two is staying open. Tapas was the antithesis of what "tapas" is expected to be as cuisine. I sure wouldn't call it Latin. Did you even eat there? It was not a small plate/bocas style place...

Mexican restaurant Tapas closes as it loses lease on downtown building; Mexquisito expands into Eudora
Agree. Mexquisito on Mass is probably the tastiest Mex in town in a long time. Decent beer specials too, if that helps offset having to pay a couple bucks for chips. I heap that praise even though I'm personally not wild about Tortas Jalisco (which may be the most authentic mexican place in Lawrence, if that's your thing.) I hope they can succeed in Eudora with the Mexquisito model.
Tapas, on the other hand, was/is just another in a long line of average to horrible Mexican restaurants in Lawrence.

City to start process of building $10 million worth of infrastructure at Farmland site
Fine idea, but cart before the horse... how much digging do you really want plan out there until you know what kind of wasteland you're dealing with?

Sound Off: When heading north or south on Iowa Street and turning left onto 27th, why is the light a
SB Iowa to EB 27th: turn left on 26th to right on Ridge Ct. to left 27th.
NB Iowa to EB 27th: turn into frontage road at Dale Willey, make right onto 27th at Runza.
NB Iowa to WB 27th: turn left onto frontage at Jack Elena, cut through Sears parking lot and make left on WB 27th.
SB Iowa to WB 27th... no problem.
Coming from 27th either way. Just plan to sit and wait three minutes unless you got lucky.
