City recreation leaders not in favor of lighted tennis court plan near Lawrence High

Why all this finger pointing? The city's plan was to replace the tennis center, and to this point it has not been completed. Why not simply finish it?

Kansas in middle of pack on higher-education funding during last few years

Where do we find the "flat amounts of funding"? The governor said, I believe, that Kansas spends more on education than surrounding states.

Activist Sandra Fluke to speak at KU in March

You should look at the entire Oxford English Dictionary entry for "fluke." It is much more likely her name is drawn from that of the fish--compare Fish, Bass, etc.

Town Talk: City trying to determine what type of fine it can levy on Varsity House project; Deciphera undertaking new strategy, rumors of layoffs

Saying this house was a "dump" and that it could not be restored are merely opinions. This house was determined by the Historic Resources commission to be a contributing structure in the environs of a historic district. They had no choice; under the definitions in the law that is what it was. What remains is that this developer agreed to preserve this house in return for approval of the larger project. He says that he did not break that agreement. That's where things stand.

City wants payment over Varsity House reassembly spat

This discussion seems to treat everything but the central issue. The Historic Resources Committee decided that this house was a contributing structure as defined by law. There was a compromise that involved saving that structure. The city commission and the planning department believe that compromise was violated. If the developer wants to contest that opinion he can. Most complaints of other cases in this discussion illustrate that the city has a planning process and that they attempt to enforce it.

This project has made Indiana street difficult and dangerous for pedestrians. The building itself significantly differs from the drawings shown to the planning commission. And now the are building a parody of the house they agreed to restore. A model project.

Parents, staff offer thoughts on improvements to Pinckney School

Pinckney School has a remarkable history due to its students, staff, and the building that embodies it. The architect in this story is not listing the positive features of this landmark building because that is not the purpose of his report. Once his plans are complete the question of cost effectiveness will be relevant.
