Would you pay $5 a month for curbside recycling?
Do they offer weekly pickup with no sorting required?

A good beer is often $4. Most people tip as well.

$20 million gift to help build new business school
Those bathroom sinks are pretty outdated. I'm glad they were so persuasive! Thank you Mr. Dicus and Dean Bendapudi for making this much-needed project move forward!

My wife and I were both big fans of El Mezcal and decided to visit this new place that replaced Ixtapa (we really liked owner Jesse). The menus prices are kinda high for Mexican food but my wife and I eat the shrimp and carnitas soft tacos ala carte and absolutely LOVE them. Cant get that at El Mez plus $1 drinks everyday keeps us going back for more. If you like Mexican food, you guys should give it a try and decide for yourself. (Unfortunately) you wont have to wait for a table. It's never really busy so I hope they can make it. Atmosphere is plain and parking lot is cramped but the food is my first priority. Trust me guys, pulled pork tacos here are the bomb! To momadon: you are right they are just pork (and pico de gallo) but they still taste better than the bland chicken and beef tacos everywhere else. These things are full of meat and don't really need cheese or lettuce in my opinion.

Kansas House advances bill putting restrictions on sexually oriented businesses
“It’s traditional family values” motivating this. I hope they don't decide bikinis are "morally too revealing" when I am at the pool. Where does it end???

Lawrence man who attacked woman on bicycle path gets 14 years in prison
In fifteen years he will be out of prison. Without any rehabilitation he will probably come out worse than he went in. I do believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Maybe a little therapy during his time in jail will cost us much less than investigating and prosecuting a more serious crime in 2027.

New coalition pushing to relax Kansas liquor laws
There is a lot of Kansas liquor revenue going to Missouri in Kansas City. A well established grocery store (Hy-Vee/Price Chopper) or convenience store (Royal) in MO can survive on less markup than a standalone liquor store in Kansas. A lot of people drive across state line to save a couple bucks. It would be nice here in Lawrence if the wife could grab a good six pack while she is grocery shopping.

New coalition pushing to relax Kansas liquor laws
When I was a minor it was MUCH easier to cross into Missouri and buy from grocery and drug stores. Liquor stores were much more likely to keep your fake ID.

They do not want minors to have a reason being in the liquor store.
