Knology changes its name to WOW!; lifts usage caps on Internet service

Service level also dictates connection speed - at least it used to. Haven't looked in awhile.

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

Proof that Lawrence is not as "cool" or "business friendly" as our "leaders" like to think it is. I enjoy living here but just don't get the hype.

You just can't mention Lawrence in the same sentence as Fort Collins. The locally brewed beer scene is much more extensive out there than it is here. Sorry, Free State.

Have you noticed a bad taste in the city's water?

Lawrence tap water has always tasted nasty.

I have a whole-house carbon filter to get rid of most of the smell and taste, and another carbon filter at the kitchen sink to finish the job. No bottles for me.

Would you like to see the new Lawrence Public Library building include a coffee shop in the lobby?

Bad idea. Cups, napkins, stir sticks left everywhere. Who gets to clean up the mess? It had better not be the library staff.

Construction to reduce downtown Kansas River bridges to one lane beginning Monday

This. This irritated me almost daily on my commute.

City set to make additional improvements to Sixth and Iowa intersection

I love the sound of this. I use that intersection at least twice a day getting the kiddo to daycare then back to work. Fortunately my wife is a teacher and will be staying home with our daughter over the summer so the impact to my commute will be minimal.

Double left turn lane onto 6th and dedicated left turn lane onto southbound Iowa are long overdue.

Jayhawks: ‘There’s nothing to celebrate’

Can YOU read, Thom?

"Or as senior guard Elijah Johnson noted: “I mean, it’s nine straight, but we don’t celebrate until everything is said and done. There’s nothing to celebrate about right now, anyway.”

WOW. How short KU fans' memories are. Just last year, reported right here at the LJWorld:

"Self made sure the Jayhawks did not take this eighth-straight title lightly following Monday’s 70-58 win at his alma mater, OSU.

He had the players place the league championship trophy on the floor of the locker room after accepting it from Big 12 associate commissioner John Underwood and had the Jayhawks do a bit of dancing around the hardware.

Self took part in the dancing.

“It was great. We were all dancing. I’ve done it four times now,” said red-shirt junior center Jeff Withey. “It’s always the same, a great feeling,” he added. “It’s really fun to be able to do that.”"

The fact is that KU are sore winners <i>and</i> sore losers. They can't handle having to share the title with K-State. I'm not anti-KU, but to minimize the title just because you had to share it is a bit...well, arrogant.
