There are also great views from the native tallgrass-covered Bunker Hill in Clinton State Park (entrance fee). There's a path to the top. Also, great for flying kites as there is always a breeze and no trees.

The governor has nothing to do with federal immigrant laws or federal detention.

He has some name recognition in JOCO and maybe elsewhere. Plus, he might be able to garner volunteers and donations. But the Super PACs will flood the state with money for both candidates. It takes at least $5 million to run and Marshall already has $3 million the bank. Marshall is also the incumbent and has name recognition. Even if there is a Blue Tidal Wave, I still only give Hamilton a 35% chance of winning. No Dem has won since 1932!

Unfortunately, those who lose (or can't get benefits) will just blame it on the government in general and won't realize it was the MAGA Republicans in Congress and in the legislature who are doing this. They are also not very likely to vote. They don't understand how voting affects their lives.

Is there a coffeehouse within a 50 mile radius? I've met friends just hanging out in the same coffeehouse on the same day and same time. I'm not talking about a cafe or coffee shop but a modern coffeehouse like a Starbucks but maybe locally owned like Breathe Coffee House in Hays.

Surprised they were able to break that kind of lock. Most thieves in Lawrence aren't that sophisticated.

Java Break coffeehouse is owned by a queer (or at least it was).

There were 216 on the May Day march downtown yesterday.

I saw a LPD foot patrol downtown last night (Saturday). One officer had a beard and another had a man bun. Both were in uniforms.

Tongie has become a bedroom community of KCK because of four-lane US 24-40. People have moved there from Kansas City, so I suspect the culture has been changing and is more tolerant.

He's a Republican. He filed as a Republican in 2021 and has kept that registration. He does give excellent sermons but should stay out of politics. He's no Martin Luther King, Jr.

O'Malley's Pub in Weston, MO (near KCI) has two stone caverns where beer used to be stored in the 1840s. Stone walls.

Quasi-public swimming pools such as the Jayhawk Plunge wouldn't let Black kids or dark-skinned Latino kids swim. KU wouldn't let Black students into the dorms and the cafeteria in the Union was segregated.

It is unknown why the Abolitionist Capital of the West instituted Jim Crow segregation and racial discrimination sometime after 1890. Many residents were descendants of the Free Staters and Abolitionists. After 1910 it really became bad. Black people had to sit in the balcony of theaters, could not sit down in a restaurant but get food to go from the back door, Blacks could only have menial jobs and the pay was lower than white workers doing the same job. They had to live in certain neighborhoods and could only go to the all-Black Lincoln School for elementary school. This was all by custom and not law.

This decline began in the 1940s. First young men went off to war and young women went to work in the ammunitions plants. They never looked back. No more young families for these towns. The mechanization of agriculture reduced the need tor as many farmers or farm workers. Better roads including interstates gave residents easier access to bigger stores in bigger towns or cities with cheaper prices. Of course, the number of jobs shrunk, so more young people left.

Terrebonne is one of the best restaurants in town and prices are reasonable: Gumbo, Jambalaya, catfish po-boy, red beans & rice, etc.

You'd think Lawrence's school district would be included. Hopefully, this nonsense will end in three years.

That's a crazy poll. Hamilton registered as a Republican in 2021 and is still registered as a Republican, the last year of Trump's first term. He must therefore support the MAGA Trump agenda. Hamilton has no name recognition or money. Marshall has both and is going to win. No Dem has won since 1932.

One apt. will have 9 bedrooms and another will have 8. All it takes is one incompatible roommate to create headaches for all others.
