The Lawrence Kansas Monthly Blog

  Hey there folks, me again! Guess what you guys, I just got an update from my folks. The condo just got sold, and in two weeks, I’m finally back in Lawrence! So to kick things off, here’s my summer bucket list of things to do. 1. Pineapple Dream I wanna go to Topeka with Stephanie and try out an ice cream shop called Pineapple Dream. It’s in 6750 SW 29th St., and it’s got Dole Whip just like the ones they have in Disney World. It also has a selection of floats and smoothies of any flavor to pick out. I gotta say that this will be one of my picks on the list. This is what Dole whip in an ice cream cone looks like. If you’ve seen enough like Sylas & Maddy’s and Cold Stone, then consider this my next summer treat. I hope this one cools you off. 2. Fugitive Beach The fun never stops in the coolest water park in Missouri. So I think it’ll be a great place to check out for the summer. If I’m not mistaken about this place, it’s just like the beach in California or in Hawaii. There’s ...

  Hello again, and welcome back to my monthly blog. Last time, I wrote to you about the new places I wanna try in Topeka like The Pennant and Round Table Bookstore. Now here's part two of my blog entry on places to visiting when I'm back in Kansas. Let's get started. The Wheel Barrel  This is the kind of place I wanna try out in Topeka, it's at 925 N. Kansas Ave. But the question is, "Where to begin?". Well if you like Burgers and wings at Jefferson's and Johnny's Tavern, then we should try out The Wheel Barrel. And trust me, it's really fun. It's  a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Topeka, Kansas. And t his rustic haven promises more than just a meal, it's an experience. So just picture  yourself sinking into a plush seat, savoring the warmth of a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich that transcends the ordinary. And it's  home to an award-winning selection of gourmet grilled cheese creations, as well as rotational craft beer options and ...

  Do you think that maybe it's probably time to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Lawrence Kansas this time around? The answer is a big YES! If so, here's the scoop on that. Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner in the month of May. And when the time comes, it's time to celebrate. So let's review some ideas of what we can do that this special day. Here's what we might be thinking when I finally come back. Idea #1:  Plan a special Cinco de Mayo themed block party in downtown Lawrence. If I can think of a location to get the party going in Cinco de Mayo, it would probably be somewhere here at... 804 New Hampshire St. right next to Cieliti Lindo where it's temporarily closed. It was where my dad used to perform music there back in the day. And this is where I can finally get it all set up. And to do that, we need someone who can help me out on this. We need the music set up, a variety of foods and drinks such as tacos nachos, taquitos, quesadillas, and enchiladas, and t...

  Hello there, welcome back to my monthly blog. So as you may know my move back to Lawrence Kansas has been delayed for two years. That's until the year 2027 or at least my folks made a decision in two weeks. That means we have until April 1st which my birthday is coming up. In the meantime, I'm gonna keep on writing my own stories on the upcoming blog until I'm ready to move back there. I'll keep you updated with more details as we get informed soon. Anyway, on to the story. I just got another idea about a place in Topeka that I wanna visit when I'm finally back in Kansas. And trust me, this is one that I really wanna check out. It's something that Stephanie suggested to me and that is... The Pennant! Have you ever wondered what it's like to eat out at this place before? Well my friend, I’ll be happy to tell you about it. It's located in historical Topeka at 915 S Kansas Ave. Okay, this place is the one that I wanna try out when I'm back in Kansas. ...
