Late-night food cart approved in downtown Lawrence
City commissioners unanimously approved the Last Stop Snack Shop permit to operate on the southwest corner of 10th and Massachusetts streets in front of the former Masonic Temple. KU student Jason Mandel and co owner aim to serve hot dogs and other items to the late night bar crowd, with operations planned from Wednesday through Saturday and carts allowed until 2 30 a.m. This comes amid objections from a building landlord and Downtown Lawrence Inc. leaders who worry about late night drinking and sidewalk gatherings.

Yellow House Store owner trial over alleged stolen goods sale
A Kansas City federal court began Carrie Neighbors trial, owner of the Yellow House Store in Lawrence, on 18 counts of wire fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering. Prosecutors allege she knowingly bought stolen items from a source linked to local thefts and sold them on eBay, with recorded conversations and financial records to support the case. Her husband faces separate charges and competency issues, as investigators name Lawrence retailers and police among witnesses.

Interim Commissioner Diane DeBacker faces calls to resume a search for a new education chief, while board guidance and budget concerns delay action.
