You do realize that is in no way a logical statement, don't you?
Unless you're being sarcastic. In which case nicely played!"
- Congratulations, you picked up on the sarcstic tone. But I predict that either way things turn out the "authorities" will use this line of reasoning.

Yes. A relatively problem free festival would indicate that the measures taken had been successfull. Then again, if there are problems the indication is that more measures are necessary.

Nitrous tanks, LSD, mushrooms seized around festival
If they've only nailed 6 people so far, I would say 1) the police aren't being very effective, and 2) there are going to be 14,994 stoned festival goers who are going to have fun and will come back next year!

Library plans unveiled
It is wonderful that, following a story presenting proposals for a new, expanded library, the citizens of Lawrence that are most in need of the resources and benefits of a new hub for intellectual stimulation and enrichment have saddled up to their keyboards and inadvertently provide the justification for raising the level of knowledge and culture in or fair city. Thanks folks, keep up the good work.

Abe & Jake's is city's burden
Jafs, Your response to Coldsplice's comments indicate that you did not read very carefully.
Coldspice wrote: "Getting it was one thing but to have it re-wired up to code alone was well into the 6 figures (over a decade ago)."
Jafs responds: "If he invested six figures a decade ago, I'm sure he's made all of that back and more by now. " Did you miss the fact that Coldspice was talking about re-wiring ALONE.
I don't think that anyone who has commented thusfar has a grasp of the level of funding needed to transform this property into what it is today.
On a separate note, this article displays the level of journalistic quality that one would expect from a high school newspaper, not an "Award Winning" organization like the Journal World. How did this get past the editor?
