Ride to Post

I need a ride to Post Friday at 1500. I have a doctor appointment at IACH. I’ll pay for gas and time. Please message me.

edit: I’m not on FB. But, I can meet someone at the Visitor Center and they drive me to IACH? I can walk back to the Visitor Center after my appointment.

If I cannot find anything else maybe I’ll join FB just for this?

Rant about locals and recent events…

I’ve posted some negative thoughts on here but the only way to get this information out there is if I post on one of the Facebook groups. Not sure how many ppl here are from Manhattan but I grew up there and had to leave because of the community constantly bad mouthing ppl like my boyfriend and myself.

I do wonder tho why so many ppl call the police and think the town is safe especially lately with the crime rate. That ppl that are committing these crimes are complete idiots. I never used to judge but that was when it was just drug charges and petty stuff. I don’t know what makes any of them think that they are going to do time for those gun charges and it’s just a lot of sh*t u can’t pull off in a town like that. Also anyone that has been there for years is usually someone that used to say they were going away for a long time since they had so many cases and they are still catching cases which doesn’t happen unless they tell on ppl. So if anyone knows someone that keeps getting arrested, that person is surely working as an informant. A few years back the police decided to get everyone that was left in town that had ever done drugs, their goal was to get them charged so most of them have ended up leaving town since then because they had to change somehow. Manhattan community is very disconnected and many seem brainwashed into thinking authorities will always save them and it’s safe. I’ve never understood that either. I think now with how bad crime has gotten it should be obvious that the police are stretched thin and they’ve lost control in a way. Before they had everyone fooled because of drug busts and how easy that is to blame crime increase on….now they are only getting ppl for weed. U can’t have it both ways. U either support the community by dropping the judgement and giving ppl a chance that really weren’t out there shooting ppl or doing anything violent or things can keep getting worse….i always thought that it was the fault of the community for essentially wanting ppl punished for something that had no effect on them. Most places actually allow people to get a job and have some places that accept felon housing but Manhattan is so different in this regard that it comes off as very pretentious and ignorant.

Just wonder if anyone else has felt the same especially since I’ve been seeing more topics about getting the cannabis law changed. The view of drugs not just here but in Lawrence as well is so looked down upon. It’s beyond what addicts are told in recovery and rehab. What’s crazy now is that things have to change because of the settlement for opioid addiction. It’s making it so that jails and probation officers and all these people that never wanted to give it a thought now have to provide medication and treatment options. These ppl hate addicts and want them to do jail time so I’m hoping at some point they have to open up about the changes in their job but for right now I think a lot of them don’t realize what’s coming.

Random question: what was the cause of fraternity fire in 1991?

I was thinking back to the fire at the Phi Kappa Phi fraternity at 1716 Fairchild Ave on June 30, 1991. Does anyone know if the cause was ever identified? The newspapers show that it was labeled an arson and flammable liquids were found at the scene.

Where are all the great food spots to eat at?!?

Long story short food use to be good here years ago. Moved away, lived in many cities with excellent restaurants and food choices, moved back and really disappointed in the food scene here now. Besides prices going up and quality service going down it just doesn't taste good like how I remember it. I bet there is still a hidden gem here to try.

Please give your recommendations.

Places I like to go: El Patron Baan Thai Freddy's Chick-fil-A

Phi delta theta

Misogynistic slobs These guys not only feel entitled to do what ever they want it's encouraged. Had a guy say "date poor girls they'll do anything for you because they so badly want out of poverty. " These guys are not for women I'm pretty sure if you belong to this frat you only like dudes. And they all have Trump tshirts and signs. Clearly they hate women.

City Tax Increase

The new 14% tax increase on homeowners is going to do nothing to help people with affordable housing. In fact it is going to force people out of their existing homes. Why is it the citizens responsibility to pay for a city government that can’t manage its finances? I would be walking through offices and firing everyone that is goofing off on the internet, and believe me there are many. Then I would fire city employees caught parked under a shady tree sleeping. The problem is nobody has the guts to drain the city swamp. The city government is full of freeloaders that give us zero return on our tax dollars. What do others think?
