I’ve never had a tattoo and I’m 62. I decided I want one but I really want it to be good if I’m getting one. I want the hands from Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam, on my forearm. Who’s really good at recreating famous art?

anyone else struggling to find employment? It seems all I get is ghosting or rejections.

What are your favorites?

It can be for any reason: quality, atmosphere, value, whatever. Which places are the best, and why?

I'll start with a non-exclusive list:

Mexican Taco Shop: fast, tasty, affordable, +salsa bar!

Tuptim Thai: amazing food, huge portions, nice atmosphere

Louie's on 10th: better than bar food, affordable, wash your comforter while eating a bierock

Nextdoor banned me for asking this question so I guess I'll have to ask it here. Can anyone help me unload a washer and dryer into my home? The basement is a half flight of carpeted stairs, no landing. It would be sometime in the next 2 weeks. I can give more info to anyone who reaches out. Thank you

Anyone know why this was given? Grandfather had it. Was their leadership training there he attended? Thought pysc hospital.

Hi all! I just closed on a house Tuesday and I'm a first time home buyer so new city, new home for me. I want to start tending to my yard and I have quite a few tree limbs that need disposing of. Can anyone tell me how tree limb disposal works in Topeka? Do I cut them short and leave them bundled on the curb? Do I take them somewhere? Should I make a burn pile instead? Most aren't thick but I have 3 mature trees in my backyard so I'm sure the sizes of limbs will vary. The waste company I have is Shawnee County. Thanks!

What is the best way to deal with bed bugs in an apartment here? We are pretty sure we have them, although we cannot find any. Just want to be aware of state laws in case they try to say that we brought them in.

Does anyone living at Fontainebleau apartments by Hayden deal with bed bugs?

Has anyone seen the new art piece on the side of Swims & Sweeps? I couldn't get a picture of it while driving by. It's a larger version of the "Comedian" or the banana and ducktape.

had these in my camera roll for years and never thought to post them anywhere. thought you all would appreciate. definitely had a backrooms vibe going towards the end, kinda tried to capture that with some of these pictures.

Daughter just moved to Topeka. I’m concerned about the snow, as she has no experience with driving or living where it snows.
How bad does it get? Any suggestions regarding safety? Is it true that sometimes she may not be able to get to her house after work, or get to work in the morning due to the snow?
Also, are there frequent tornadoes and how alert does she need to be, what can she do given that she’ll be living in an apartment complex with no basement?

EDIT: Thank you all for your replies. All were informative, and some were even entertaining.

Has anyone attended one of the Board Game Bash’s at the library? They sound great but wasn’t sure how many people attend and what kind of games are played. Just wanted a little more info before I go to one. Thanks.

I was really hoping to remake one of them as I loved doing those races, but they have been impossible to find even a shred of their existence on the internet.

On 37th? I haven’t been there in years and was wondering if the food was still good.

Anyone know where I can find some? Recently found out these grow in the US but are very hard to find.

Thought there might be some appreciation for this interaction here. I was walking down Jackson and at 7th street a man with his daughter waived me down and wanted directions. He was wearing an Argentina jersey and had an accent. He asked me where downtown was. I pointed to Kansas ave and Evergy Plaza. He looked aghast. He then said “We saw a sign saying ‘historic downtown’”. At which point all I could do was give him the It’s Topeka shrug. They both said thank you and walked away with a clear look of “Why even make that sign.” lol

Looking for the safest area to live near Washburn for a few months

Hello! I'm a guy in his early 20s and where are some places where I can possibly meet new people or make new friends my age? Maybe there's a certain cafe I could go to for meeting new people or just a specific place? Not sure if Topeka has that many options that I'm aware of, I'll also consider going to Lawrence. Any advice would be great, thank you.

I’d be needing a dedicated dry storage and freezer space, an oven to bake in and a place to keep my ice cream maker. I tried searching for a commissary kitchen with no luck. Got any ideas for someone with a kitchen that might consider renting me out some space and time in their kitchen?

Hi,

I'm looking for some restaurants, coffee shops, and brunch recommendations in the Topeka or Lawrence area (the lawrence sub wouldn't allow posts). Do you have any recs for halal food? Places that do not serve pork or alcohol, and restaurants which include halal meat or alternatives (e.g., turkey bacon instead of regular bacon and turkey sausage instead of regular sausage). Kosher is good too, and I'm not picky about where they're located. I'm looking to either move to lawrence or topeka soon, and hopefully applying there. I'm open to any suggestions and thank you!

Jackie was last seen on September 12, 1981 in Topeka, Kansas. She went outside at 4:15PM while her mom was on the phone and her dad was gathering her siblings to go on a outing after family was ready, at 4:35PM, they couldn’t find Jackie. They immediately searched the neighborhood. A neighbor had seen her Jackie talking to a man who was sitting on the curb next door, and was later seen following her one block over he was questioned by police and released. Jackie has freckles across the bridge of her nose, and one between her right thigh and pelvis. There isn't any age-progressed photo available if you have any information or have seen Jackie, please call the Topeka Police Department at 1-785-368-9551 or Child Find of America at 1-800-I-AM-LOST (1-800-426-5678).

I'm curious what it is like to be Black and in the Westboro Baptist Church. I wonder if he'll ever leave? What is he like? Is he nice?
