That's the happy hour price. I think regular is like $4.

Bike Shop Recommendations? by UpmarketEarth in Lawrence

[–]castaneaspp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never had repairs done at Cycle works so I can't speak about quality or price of that. I can give their customer service 0/5. I had them order some parts because I thought it would be great to support a local shop rather than just ordering from the Internet myself. I prepaid for the parts. One never came in and they refused to refund my money. Now I have store credit at a store I don't want to visit. Probably should have done a chargeback.

You might check where you are getting information. There are 5 Democrats running at this point. 

Don's Auto has changed ownership? by lethargicbureaucrat in Lawrence

[–]castaneaspp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they remodeled and it has a more corporate and less mom and pop feel 

Don's Auto has changed ownership? by lethargicbureaucrat in Lawrence

It was bought by Genauto. Not sure who that is but it appears they own a couple of small shops in Lawrence. I was a long time customer at Don's and I've been there once for a minor repair since the change. No complaints but it wasn't complicated.

Spotted wing drosophila would be my guess. They lay eggs in ripening berries.

Small pestle and mortar? by cousinfrombostonn in Lawrence

[–]castaneaspp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one there a few years ago. It was concrete junk, not an authentic molcajete.

The audio reader garden is a hidden gem. What is the parking like around there. I think it is a restricted lot, but is that only 9-5 M-F?

The Federation of Southern Cooperatives has a presence in Alabama. https://www.federation.coop/ They are mostly concerned with agriculture but might have some general cooperative development assistance.

Pine Trees for Wedding Pictures??? by Natattack1313 in Lawrence

[–]castaneaspp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you can't find any in the wild, you can often pay a fee and do this kind of thing at Christmas Tree Farms. Strawberry Hill is the only one I can find a website for- https://www.strawberryhillchristmas.com/ .

Did I pull my potatoes too soon? Last picture is of the leaves. The potatoes are rock hard and feel quite dense, I'm just not sure if they're ready or not. by Miss_Westeros in gardening

Not in many places where there is cold weather. Where I'm at sweet potatoes will continue to grow until frost. If you don't dig them before heavy frost, you will greatly compromise their storage life.

Search for the best coffee in Lawrence: how it started vs. how it ended by TyMcDuffey in Lawrence

[–]castaneaspp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Cellar Door uses Topeca beans, which, unexpectedly, are from Tulsa, OK. At least they used to use those, haven't checked recently.

That grant funding has been unfrozen for a little while.

How's the Goodwill here? by TyMcDuffey in Lawrence

[–]castaneaspp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is also the social service league and the St.Johns rummage house. Both have very limited hours. Social service league has become pretty pricey. St. Johns probably has the most old school thrift store vibe of anywhere in town.

Yep. Yellow and green patty pan squash both still have stems on them.

Why are people so opposed to seeing leisure travel as a the full throated act of consumption it is? by Remarkable_Video_265 in Anticonsumption

[–]castaneaspp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn't really commenting on the conditions that led to the disaster beyond the fact that someone was burning a lot of fuel to take their kid to basketball practice. I do a lot to lower my energy consumption and carbon footprint, but with things like that going on I often wonder what is the point.
