Looks about as fake as possible to me.

On some NCAA tourney preview show on ESPN one of the commentators said "Your not playing at the topeka YMCA anymore"

I suppose I don't know if that exact picture is real, but a house across from WBC was painted to resemble a gay pride flag.

It's for realz, drove by it yesterday (not to look at it, it was just on my way)

Anybody tried the pizza and pub place by college hill? Any good?

Also that little Chinese shack at 29th and fairlawn closed and it is now a Mexican place

It's real.

I just read "Banished" by Lauren Drain. Pretty good insight on how the Westboro Baptist Church operates.

I don't think they have staying power now that many of the young members are leaving. Once Shirley croaks, it's over (IMO)

I tried Pizza Pub. It's like the Subway of pizza. They give you tons of choices of toppings to mask the fact that they are serving you a circle of crap hot garbage. It's basically a Totino's with your own custom toppings.

The menu of that mexican place actually looks interesting. They have "real tacos"

I pulled off the highway to fill up on the south side of Topeka. As I was getting out of my car, a t-shirt squawk rolled up next to me in a red 1989 Toyota 4Runner. He had brownish yellow teeth and a gaunt countenance punctuated by piercing blue eyes. He rolled down his window, proudly stuck out a large Tide liquid laundry detergent bottle filled with what he referred to as 'gasoline', and asked if I would please buy it from him. I said, "No thank you sir" and had a pleasant drive back to TITLETOWN.

College Hill Pizza may be the best pizza in town. See the pizza thread.

El Taquito Express is tasty, though not as good as Tacos El Mex and El Sol.

I had Pizza Pub one night over winter break while I was back home. I was super PAK'd so I thought it was pretty good. I have not tried it sober.

Get used to it. My buddy's the engineer, and he's talking delays.

Had pizza pub for lunch yesterday, the crust sucks (really chewy), buy the toppings and cheese were fine. Definitely a lunch place, they would be smart to do salads too, they already have almost everything they would need.

I'm drinking coffee out of a Logan Jr. High mug today. I'm not sure how it came in to my possession, I certainly didn't get it for anything while I was in school there.

I figure this is as good of a thread as any for this. I will be moving back to Topeka for the fall semester and was wondering if anyone had suggestions on where would be a good place to live. I'm not too picky on how far from campus. I lived on College Hill before and I'd like to live somewhere without bars within walking distance. tia.

I may consider trying to have a roommate this time around. I don't really know anyone that I would/could live with in Topeka though.

Might be worth something if it was a Northern Hills mug.

Pfft. My class dominated Northern Hills in everything but being pud loserfaces. As freshman we combined to be a powerhouse, we might be the winning-est class in Seaman High history (completely unfounded assertion).
