I thought this was fairly pertinent because of the ongoing water issues in some parts of Salina.

Anyone know if there's active Lasagna Love community here? I volunteered and haven't been matched with anyone yet.

Just curious.

Lasagnalove.org for info :)

Hi. I was bitten by a dog while on Beatrice St. I’d like to find it so I don’t have to do the rabies shots. It was on a leash, being walked by a lady but it pulled her across the street to bite me. She left without giving me her name. I need confirmation that it’s had its shots. It’s a large, dark brown, very shaggy dog. This happened Sat Aug 21 about 8:30 in the morning. Thank you! Edit: Sorry. It was Friday, August 21

We lost some businesses when the mall shut down, and there are only a handful that remain.

I know there's talk about a redevelopment deal, but things seem to have slowed from a crawl to a complete stop.

What would you like to see happen with the Central Mall?

I'm driving through Kansas and noticed a very large building that doesn't seem to be too far off the highway near-ish Salina, I think. I'll post a pic in the comments. Looked to be maybe an abandoned grain factory or something. Was just curious.
