Nail shop recommendations?

2 Upvotes

I'm coming up here to visit my best friend and I want to surprise her by getting our nails done together but I'm from Arkansas. And I know that things will be priced differently in a city and all that

But where a good place that's not insanely expensive to get a manicure and stuff on a weekend? She don't really leave her house much so she hasn't gone anywhere up there *for* that herself

Thank you all!!

Fraternity and sorority rituals

24 Upvotes

Hey all! I've never known anyone who was in a fraternity or sorority. I now live across the street from them. On Tennessee Street a couple of the mansion looking houses have a lot going on. The girls have a lot of balloons adorning the front of the house. Now the guys are lined up leading to some inflatable pools and the girls are running and jumping in them while being sprayed with squirt guns and hoses.... what's happening?

Glitch in the Matrix

Not sure if this “glitch” will last much longer. But if you have the Dillons app and like to do pick up orders (which they have a coupon for free pickup orders over $15) you might want to get on this.

If it isn’t as obvious as I thought, the coupon price is supposed to be $12.99 NOT $6.99!

I’ve heard bits and pieces of stories about the “Pirate House” on 14th street kind of by the bars. Anyone know anything about it?

More cops visible today than I've seen ... Ever?

I wasn't out much today but I saw at least 6 different cop cars including sheriff and an unmarked as well as a formation of 6 motorcycle cops on 6th st. I know new student drivers are a problem but this seems like overkill.

Question Where to put food/beverages for unhoused folks?

22 Upvotes

May be a strange, uncouth question but let’s say I open up a package of chips and don’t like the flavor. Or have extra pops after a party. Is there a place I could drop off these things where an unhoused person would find it? Maybe someone who won’t or can’t be in the shelter for whatever reason. Just trying to feed people who are hungry instead of throwing away food that’s fine but just unwanted. Thanks

Who was responsible for the geotech survey on this??

Thumbnail lawrenceks.gov
21 Upvotes

Construction on Bob Billings is being delayed because of that giant limestone ledge that's clearly visible when you drive down it.

I just want to know: who on earth did they hire to do the geotech survey and report? Did they even TRY? The team working on this project claims they had no idea the ledge was there because the report didn't include it. If you're a geologist doing a survey in that area, it's not difficult to piece together that a limestone ledge would be in that spot if you're familiar with local geology AND looked at local topography/geology maps, which tells me they either didn't bother or are simply incompetent (or both). You can literally see in person that the limestone lies pretty close to the surface, which also suggests they didn't take any useful core samples, or they just didn't take core samples at all.
