Lawrence ranked second-worst-performing small metro area, according to new national economic index

Maybe we LIKE it just the way it IS - and IF it changed too much, we might not want to be here??? Beauty (and performance based on economics) are in the eye of the beholder.

Obama coming to Lawrence to visit KU on Friday

Wow! Hope I can figure out how to at least see him.

Lawrence officer who died in auto accident had blood-alcohol level three times legal limit

Although the comments here are unlikely to produce any direct effect, the open discussion of the problem of drinking and driving will only ever be addressed and, hopefully, someday corrected by continually shedding light on these cases rather than the historical covering-up. There are just too many cases which have been uncovered that show individuals who have been given diversions over and over and over until they finally kill someone. Too many cases where judges and/or juries have gone easy on a drunk driver, putting themselves in the offender's position and thinking, 'it could have been me," when they should have been putting themselves in the victims's position. Until our society comes to its senses and openly accepts and proclaims that drinking and driving is just completely and totally unacceptable, these sad cases will continue to occur. It does NOT make it any less sad or terrible that this man died because of something that was within his control. In fact, it makes it all the sadder that it was within his control - or possibly the at-least-partial control of someone who knew and saw him get into his car when he clearly should not have done so...

Winter storm forces cancellation of classes, events

Maybe their union should include that in future negotiations. When/if the entire rest of the city has already come to its senses the day/night before, there should be NO debate. Better safe than sorry, I say. There is NO logic to adding vehicles full of school children to snowy/sleety/icy roads. And, if it's a false alarm sometimes, it's still the better option.

Winter storm forces cancellation of classes, events

I agree. Don't let anyone else dictate your decisions about your kid's/kids' safety.

Rule changes on how many unrelated people can live in a house up for discussion at City Hall

Wouldn't it make more sense for the limit to be related to (1) the number of bedrooms/bathrooms and (2) the # of available parking spaces/tenants with vehicles?

Do you knit, crochet or do any other kinds of crafts?

Not sure what the goal was, but I think this was not a well-constructed nor well-thought out poll. Many, many people who both knit and crochet also do other "crafts," such as sewing, embroidery, etc., not to mention cake decorating, painting and/or a great variety of other things. Who on earth does just one thing in his/her spare time?

Ottawa man allegedly fires round into apartment; no one injured

The weapon and/or any other weapons this person has SHOULD be confiscated. Until/unless he can demonstrate that he is trained and capable of being responsible with a firearm, he should NOT have access to one. No different than not allowing a drunk to get back into his/her vehicle and driving off.
