Regal chain buys Lawrence's Hollywood Theaters; speculation begins on whether upgrade is in the future

Basically the Regal guy is saying...we don't have any competition in Lawrence, so why upgrade? It is a well run facility. Don't hold your breath on those upgrades.

If LightLyre film house was smart...it would purchase a space and convert it into a dollar house. OR....how about a 2.00 drive in? Wireless sound?

Artists an untapped resource for community development, expert says

If there is any federal money involved, Brownback and his men will sniff you out and demand you return the funds. Can't have federal handouts in our "pure" state.

School board hires principals, discusses bond plans

Actually studies show, in urban populations, students respect female administrators more than male. Many urban youth come from single family households where mothers or, in many cases, grandmothers govern the family. The argument for a male administrator in an urban district would be for that person to provide a positive role model for the students, showing them that men can be committed and caring.

Editorial: Master plan

Colleges like Baker and Park University have known for decades that online ed offerings, not buildings were the way to go. In our Developer driven Lawrence, you can bet the comptons and fritzels will be gunnung for more buildings. Don't let them push you around Bernadette!

Letter: Creativity is key

Music is one of this countries largest export products! Entertainment exports are a HUGE piece of America's GDP. We dont see it because we live in the midwest but hundreds of thousands of "creatives" are employed on the coasts. They need to recognized. It is a viable career option.

Letter: Creativity is key

I know a district in Kansas that took art out of the elementary schools due to budget cuts at the state. Now they cant figure out why their kids cant think outside of the box. They want their kids to collaborate and be creative but they were told what do every step of the way. The students are always asking permission to do things. Can I color this green? Its a travesty.

Bills seek to overhaul high school competition

I disagree. The low income kids will be scouted nd recruited.
