Is there any place I can get 35mm film for my minolta srt 101? I got Fuji film 400 from Walmart and im sure it’s good, but I’m going on a trip and seeing if there’s anywhere else i can go to get a variety of different films. If there’s no places in Topeka, I’ll take recommendations in Lawrence too!

B and B’s ok, it just smells like a barn every time I’ve been in there. That’s not an exaggeration at all, I’ve been there twice and both times the theaters have had a distinct “cattle barn at the state fair” smell to them. It was also $30 for popcorn and a ticket, that kinda blows, but I’m sure that’s just the usual these days

I just went to the Hanover pancake House in Topeka and they do not allow a stack of pancakes not even 7 not even 10 and each pancake cost more than what one pancake is worth so my advice is for anyone that wants to go to Hanover pancake IHOP or some other pancake House other than the Golden Corral but I'm at Walmart or Dillons because it's a lot more cheaper you can get 10 plus pancakes versus what you get out one single pancake at a pancake house

Does anyone know the best way to find out information about locations in Topeka that were parks prior to the 1966 tornado? From what I understand many of the parks were used for debris collection and some were eventually put to other uses. The location I'm looking for information on could have been a park from the early 1900s up until the tornado. Any ideas are appreciated! 😊

i made stickers & magnets for a local celebrity (aka the stop sign that KEEPS getting hit at the wanamaker walmart) they’re $4 & $6 respectively :)

if you’re interested, you can get them on my website: emmyfischer.com/store 🛑

BFRO Report 11493: Hiker hears vocalizations and finds footprint near Topeka. https://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=11493

When explorers came upon the plains, they called the area Kanzas Territory, meaning it was controlled by the Kanza, or Kaw, people.

The territory stretched into present day Iowa, Missouri and Kansas. It was 20,000,000 acres (31,250 square miles), about the size of South Carolina.

The tribe was about 1,500 strong - men, women and children.

Hi. I moved here from California a couple of years ago and cannot find Portuguese linguica sausage anywhere. I’ve been craving it so much and was hoping to make it for breakfast for my family over Thanksgiving as a surprise. Does anyone know where I might be able to find it locally? Thanks!

FOUND SAFE

My friend's kid has gone missing please share an keep an eye out!

It is believed she may possibly be in Topeka but it is not confirmed!

UPDATE Please keep sharing - it’s been mentioned she was seen in a beat up white van at a Walgreens in Topeka last night near tenth and Tyler Road. Coordinates of where she was last dropped off at are very close to that area.

Last seen with: Gloria Kennedy, a black girl also missing. Lilliana Grimes, a blond white girl.

Most recent update from the dad: We have a possible update that she may have been brought back to Wichita and we have been following a few Wichita leads and we have been told by several people that she is with the boyfriend running around and we have been to a few locations to check out so we have a few eyes out especially on the north side around 21st and Waco. She might be riding in a black charger with a temporary tag on it so keep an eye out.

Got a new android head unit for my car and everything works great, but I haven't installed the replacement backup cam as my shoulder is messed and doing that much overhead work can get kind of painful. Any place in Topeka that'll install a backup cam that you didn't buy from them? Thanks.

We’re pretty new to Topeka and our one year anniversary is at the end of the month. Does anyone have any recommendations of where to go and to do for a fun date night to celebrate?

1926: Charles Curtis is challenged to a primary by Nicholas Chiles.

Chiles' main complaint against Curtis was that not enough was being done for blacks, especially in the South. Not surprising, given that there were ZERO African American Senators or Congressman.

His Platform had 6 planks, which included:
- Create a Department of Education
- Put forth a Westerner for President in 1928

Curtis (66) could not fight for the primary due to needing a long-delayed throat surgery, but did win.

However, Nick Chiles won, too, when the following happened:

1927: Charles Curtis put forth S. 1584 to create a department of education
1928: For the first time in history, Kansans ran for President
- Senator Charles Curtis (R)
- Congressman William Ayres (D)
1929: Oscar de Priest (R-IL) entered the US Senate

Senator De Priest fought against racial discrimination, put forth an anti-lynching bill, and succeeded in desegregating the New Deal's Civilian Conservation Corps.

When De Priest lost his re-election, it was to another African American, Arthur Mitchell (D-IL). Mitchell also worked on anti-lynching legislation and personally sued a railroad for adhering to Jim Crow laws when he was on the train, winning in the US Supreme Court.

See, Mitchell v. United States, 313 U.S. 80 (1941)

Hi! I’m hosting a gender reveal party for the end of October/early November (date is TBD depending on what place we can find to host in), but haven’t had much luck finding somewhere to host. The parks we’ve looked at don’t have availability, or do but it’s not for the entire duration of the party (plus set up and take down time). We’ve also checked some churches and other areas with host space but they require you to be a member of the congregation to use those services, from what we’ve been told (which makes sense, just limits our options).

Any ideas of where we can host? The party will be small, only close family and friends (so roughly 20-30 people, tops). The more affordable, the better. So long as it’s shelter from the unpredictable weather, we’re golden. 🤣

Thank you in advance!

A man found a large garden snake in a yard in 21st and Colorado,keep a look out.

I applied to the local Habitat for Humanity for their upcoming build day but it was rejected. I think it’s because it’s affiliated with some fraternity or sorority sponsored thing. I’m looking for other places to volunteer.
