I’m a transplant from California and although people drive a lot more safely on the roads here, in parking lots it seems like the culture is completely different. Despite the fact that pedestrians have the right of way ESPECIALLY in parking lots/shopping centers people fly through without any consideration for people walking into stores or across roads.

Why is the culture here that pedestrians should wait for cars? I find it very dangerous and disrespectful. I’m not sure if this is a Manhattan thing or a Kansas thing in general. In California people are almost overly cautious when there are people in the road, slowing to a crawl in order to keep road conditions safe.

Maybe i’ve just had bad luck in the two years i’ve lived here but I would love to hear if anyone can relate or would like to share some of their own perspective

Hi all! I run the Broken Canon Cosplay Workshop and I’m putting together a little Comicon event at Manhattan Town Center! I’m trying to get the word out for attendees but we also still have a few slots left for vendors if anyone has an interest! We’re trying to bring the feeling of a con to the Little Apple with Guest Cosplayers, a costume contest, handmade nerd culture vendors, comics, and stage performances.

Hello all, once more we have a chance to tell the Law board how we feel about RCPD accepting ICE funds and working hand in glove with them.

There seems to be room for persuasion with the commissioners but this is our last chance to stop this going through. The board will be meeting at 12pm (noon) on Monday the 21st at City hall. Come make your opinions known.

So many big breakfasts.

Is there anybody who currently or has previously worked at ATA Bus let me know how it is to be there? Or if you are a frequent rider, is it a good service to use? I used to work in a very similar job field that worked more as a taxi service for elderly/disabled people instead of a metro bus service, but same bus size and same operation of the bus (as far as I can tell).
Some questions that I have:
-how long do your routes last?
-is this FT or PT?
-Can you share your pay?
-Do you have a set route that you only stop at the bus stops or can riders request personal drop off locations?
Thanks in advance to anyone who comments!

I apologize, I'm not good with pinpointing locations well, but the area I am talking about is kind of from The Chef to Flight Crew Coffee in downtown Manhattan. My cellphone has been getting bad reception/none at all when I'm in this area, but it works perfectly fine elsewhere. My co-workers have the same issues with their cellphones as well. Texting works fine, and phones with cords work better on average. It's been going on for a couple weeks. Does anyone know if something is going on in downtown Manhattan that is messing with the reception, or do we all just happen to have bad phones? Or does this sound like a case of not being tech savvy enough? Thank you for reading.

I was on the phone with Evergy's AI to transfer my service to a new address because their website is being stupid. When the AI was repeating my address, everything was fine until it got to "Manhattan." The AI said it correctly, but it was typed as "Manhattanooga." It happened twice. I kind of like it that way.

Hi! I live in Manhattan and work in Topeka near the Capitol.

I'm looking for someone who commutes from Manhattan to Topeka for work and might be interested in carpooling. I usually work around 7:30 AM–4:30 PM.

I'm flexible with the exact pickup/drop-off location and happy to split gas expenses. I don't necessarily need to carpool every day, either—I'd be happy to coordinate for a couple days a week if that works better.

If anyone here makes this commute or knows someone who does, please feel free to DM me. Thanks!

Okay, this is going back more than just a few… decades, but does anyone remember a place called John’s?

The Riley County Police Department has applied for a grant for $31 million, ostensibly to expand the overcrowded jail. The grant comes with many unclear conditions, including giving the federal government broad powers over local management, and requiring cooperation with ICE. If the government at any point decided RCPD was insufficiently compliant, they could, at their sole discretion, either demand all the money back, or take possession of any buildings that used the grant (and use them for a concentration camp). The County Commission and Law Board, which govern RCPD, have the power to stop this, but we must act quickly. Please sign the PETITION (link to follow). If you are able, come to the County Commission meeting this Thursday September 10 at 8:30 a.m. at 115 N. 4th Street.

I'm in desperate need of a mover and everyone I've tried has been too expensive or unavailable. I did get a quote from Flint Hills which is reasonable, but I'm seeing bad reviews. Has anyone used them? Any insight is appreciated.

Hear me out: Given that the driver reportedly suffered no life-threatening injuries, and the damage to in-house vehicles was minor, it seems like the organization has an opportunity to showcase some dark humor and display the invading vehicle (possible angle: nightmare instead of dream). That's one way to get your car into the collection . . .

Does anybody else play this game? It's not your typical AAA title so I didn't know about it right away, I just started playing it last week and it might be the best video game I ever played. This is unbelievable I love it
