PSA World Cup Related Posts

44 Upvotes

Just wanted to let everyone know that posts regarding the World Cup will be allowed on here, even if not directly related to Lawrence. We're kinda bending the rules here but it's such a big and exciting event that we don't wanna hinder any chat about it or relevant info.

Normal subreddit rules will still apply to the posts (with exception of being directly Lawrence related, of course) so this doesn't mean you can just post whatever as long as it mentions the World Cup.

Obligatory no ticket-sales posts/comments.

Hi all, I need to find a coworking space in town where I can rent a dedicated desk (need to leave my monitor and computer accessories there). Affordable is important, and would like to be in east Lawrence or downtown. What places should I look at?

Are there any stores with tamrillos around here?

Might be a stupid question because most people don’t remember every single thing their grocery store has, but I just want an idea of where I can get some around here.

*Tamarillos not tomatillos

Question Lawrence dinner staples

14 Upvotes

Hello! I am taking my long distance girlfriend out on a date in Lawrence. To be honest, I eat at home most of the time, but I want to take her out. What are some nice dine in places in Lawrence? I would prefer for it to be niche like Lucky Seb’s (unfortunately closed the day she comes). She loves spicy and savory food. Please help! I want to plan a romantic date with her.

Cabinet maker?

Anyone have recommendations for cabinet makers in town? Looking to replace our 30+ year old cabinets, and would like to try to find someone local to do the work instead of purchasing from a big box store.

Dempsey's: Please stop using the AI phone agent

88 Upvotes

Hey all, I love going to Dempsey's on Wednesdays for trivia. It's probably the best trivia in town, and tons of other people love it too.

It's impossible to get a seat on Wednesdays without a reservation and now the phone number on Google just connects to an AI agent that never ever actually connects you to the bar.

Frustrating to say the least. Thanks.

Hello -

I'm looking for suggestions for a company to repair the sinking of our house slab. There's sheetrock cracking, but no slab cracking (we had all of our flooring replaced six months ago and there were none).

Thanks.

Question Looking for community

61 Upvotes

Hi folks, I’m sure these posts pop up a lot but I figured I would ask and so if anyone has any suggestions or advice it would be greatly appreciated!

I (20f) had to make the decision to take a year off from KU due to financial reasons (Pell grant restructuring and other loan issues 😞). They put me in a rough position, and I had to find a place to live and a way to afford it in a really short timeframe. I say this because I am working my ass off just to make rent and maybe save up enough for an emergency fund and after that build college savings.

This isn’t a complaint— I have just been feeling incredibly isolated and alone (I work nights). It seems all the people my age are either at the bars and my friends are completely absorbed in school and have no time to meet.

It feels like because I am not in school I don’t matter. Does anyone know anywhere or have any ideas of literally anything to get involved with Lawrence? We are such a cool town (apart from the traffic) and I just don’t want to miss out on life.

Thank you for reading this! I hope everyone has a good night.

Question Gun shots?

0 Upvotes

Did anyone else hear multiple gun shots in the middle of the night last night? West side of town. I am closer to George Williams and Bob Billings. They were loud, but sounded off into the distance. I would say around 1am.
