Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 10th of July.
Good morning, Lawrence.
Lawrence Transit recently hosted a Travel Training program for seniors from Babcock Place.
Mobility Manager Dre’Vel Taylor led first-time riders on a guided bus trip where they learned to track routes on the Transit app and use ramp features.
Lawrence will honor Rick Tiger Dowdell and Harry Nick Rice with historical markers and a commemorative program at the Watkins Museum of History on Sunday, July 12, with additional unveiling ceremonies on July 16 near the south entrance of the alley and on July 20 at 1241 Oread Ave.
KU Theatre & Dance is set to launch its 2026-27 season at Murphy Hall with five shows, including a humorous retelling of Eurydice that uses Italian commedia dell’arte, ballet and 'The Spongebob Musical.' Performances are scheduled for October, November, March and April+ promising creative stage events.
Lawrence artist Dave Loewenstein is designing a 20-by-50-ft mural titled 'Estamos Aquí — We Are Here' for Free State's Eastside Brewery on 1927 Moodie Road.
The project approved by the Cultural Arts Commission draws from star charts and local wildlife and will feature a public painting event.
KU researcher James Saulsbury said new research from a well-preserved fossil forest (dating to 74 million years ago) in New Mexico shows dinosaurs ate larger fruits and seeds earlier than thought, challenging ideas that flowering plants only developed big fruits after the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous.
