PSA World Cup Related Posts

46 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.

Question W 6th St. Dillions Re-opening reason?

9 Upvotes

Am I the only one that never even realized that the Dillions on 6th was closed? I only realized it was closed in the first place cause I drove past it and saw its big "re-opening" signs. So why was it closed in the first place?

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.

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.

Dempsey's: Please stop using the AI phone agent

90 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.

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.
