If you remember back in January, the big news was that every man, woman and child would soon be getting a $600 COVID-19 relief check from the federal government. Well, the checks certainly came, and in most Kansas communities, a big boost in spending followed. But that wasn’t the case in Lawrence.
The latest sales tax numbers from Kansas officials show that Lawrence’s business activity is off to the ...
It is one thing as a dean at the University of Kansas to be asked to make sweeping cuts to your department to help the overall university deal with frightening budget shortfalls.

But no one knew exactly what a hybrid education would look like, especially in terms of how many classes would be taught in person versus online. New numbers now are giving us a ...
North Lawrence is a long way from Tokyo, and it is just far enough from Massachusetts Street too. At least that is the case for Tokyo Sushi, which has moved from the 600 block of Massachusetts Street to a small North Lawrence location along the Kansas River.
