Kansas City man arrested Sunday morning in Lawrence on gun charge

Funny you should say this. I just found out the other day that the old promoter for Last Call will be promoting for the 23rd Street Roadhouse very soon. Should be interesting to see what happens with that venue.

Costs, scope of proposed recreation center escalate

It seems like everyone is scared about the Next Level Sports Center going into the Legends. If Basketball was going to be supported there, I would be to. If you look at their direction, they will only be supporting soccer and lacrosse.
Lawrence has an opportunity to become a destination for basketball tournaments. The majority of the games could be played in the proposed city facility and the championship game could be played in Allen Field House. Now that would be a draw.

Kansas boat tax question winning

The boat taxes in Kansas are some of the highest in the country. Too many of my friends register their boats in OK or MO because it is hundreds of dollars cheaper. For example, the taxes on my boat taxes is kansas was stated at $612, MO was stated at $125, and OK was $101. This bill, hopefully it passed, will bring more money into Kansas even though the taxes would be lower. It's a win-win for boat owners and Kansas.

Boo-boo’d: Chiefs fans jeer injured QB Cassel

I was at the game and I cheered when Quinn came on to the field. Just like everyone else did. I also cheered when Cassel walked off the field. But, just as Jason Whitlock wrote, the Chiefs fans deserve better!! It's time for Paoli, Crennel, Cassel, and Winston to leave and bring in people who care about the fans!

I'm tired about people complaining about chief fans being wrong. We buy the tickets, pay for parking and buy food at the stadium; we definitely have the right to voice our opinions about the owner, GM, coaches and the players!

This is a great read -

Wow! What a great gym. I have lived in Lawrence for over 20 years. I have belonged to all the main gyms; LAC, Maximus/Genisis, and Next Level. Punch beats them all. All there machines work, because they are new. When I was there, I watched the manager, before a boxing class started, take apart one of the tredmills because the belt was very loose and replace a screw to fix it. LAC and Maximus have most of there equipment falling apart.
Punch's instructors are incredible. They really push you. I have knee problems and they adapted exercises for me. Even though there was 20 people in the class I tried, I feel like they gave everyone a lot of attention. I didn't get this from Title. I've heard a rumor that Punch's instructors are not certified. I can tell you that this is only a rumor. They are all certified. Even the boxing instructors have at least 5 years of experience in the ring or have coaching certificates. I can't say this about Title. One of their instructors said their 2 week ceritfication program is a joke. I would normally not think anything of this but it came from a current employee.
The biggest item theat got me to join is it is a family oriented gym. Their members come in all shapes, sizes and age groups. During the classes, the instructors adapt exercises for all of them. Other gyms do not do this. This made me feel that everyone in the class is important to the instructor.
This is a great gym with quality instructors that has ownership and management that truly go the extra mile for the members.

Man pistol-whipped in attempted robbery at The Reserve apartments; two suspects in custody

LOL! "Students are back" How about "looks like someone ran out of money for drugs so they decided to get money the easiest way they know."

Average ACT score for Lawrence students lower this year

The kids would probably learn a little more if they were not out of school all the time. Half days on Wednesdays and some other days off every month. What happend to the days when school was five days a week, eight hours a day?

Officers pour resources into underage drinking battle

Wasn't it Mrs. Bob Dole that stuck this legislature on the back end of the highway funds? To get highway funds from the US government the states had to raise the drinking age.

Officers pour resources into underage drinking battle

Unfortunately there are people at every age group that are not responsible enough to handle it just not this age group.

Officers pour resources into underage drinking battle

The drinking age should be 19. By this age the person will be out of high school. And If you want to close down some bars for 30 days you might as well add Salty Iguana, 23rd Street Brewery, the bowling alley, Buffalo Wild Wings, Saints, every El Mezcal, On The Border, every bar in the Oread, Tres Mexicanos, and Celinta Lindos. I could keep adding but I think you get the picture. And if you do not think these establishments are not serving underagers, then you need to open your eyes.
