Lawrence retail sales grew by about 2 percent in 2013, according to new report
It appears everybody this year did their pre-Christmas calisthenics. Jumping jacks? No. Jumping the line at the checkout counter? Yes. Push-ups? Forget about it. Pushing your way to the discounted Halloween candy corn? Absolutely.
What? How can you not know what I'm talking about? A certain someone in my household told me this was critical. You must stretch your shopping muscles before the holiday season begins.
Regardless, lots of Lawrence shoppers apparently did just that. According to a new report from City Hall, retail sales from mid-October to mid-November were up by a solid 8.4 percent, compared with the same period a year ago. We'll have to wait another week or two for the next sales tax report to see whether that momentum carried into the true holiday shopping season.
But the report does give us a look at how retail spending shaped up in 2013. The report is based off the December sales tax payment the city received from the state, which means we now have 12 months of sales tax data.
The result? A fair to middling year for retail sales in Lawrence. Consumers in Lawrence racked up $1.38 billion in taxable sales in 2013. (The majority of it is retail sales, but it also includes the sales tax you pay on your utility bills, for example.) That's up 2.1 percent from 2012 totals.
A 2 percent growth rate is nothing to sneer at. Remember, back in 2009 and 2010, the city saw retail sales actually decline. And over the last 10 years, the city's retail sales have grown on average by about 2.3 percent per year. So, in that regard, 2013 was just a tick below average. But the 2.1 percent rate was the slowest since the economy started to recover after the recession. In 2011, sales grew by 4.5 percent and in 2012 they grew by 5.2 percent. Clearly, the recovery lost some steam in 2013.
And you perhaps could argue that it lost a little more steam in Lawrence than it did elsewhere in the state. Statewide, sales tax collections grew by 3.5 percent, according to figures from the Kansas Department of Revenue. But the growth was really hit or miss. Several of the state's larger retail areas didn't see that much growth. Here's a look at how several area communities and some of the larger retail markets in the state fared.
— Baldwin City: up 2 percent
— Emporia: up 3 percent
— Eudora: up 10.5 percent
— Garden City: up 6.2 percent
— Hays: down 12.7 percent
— Hutchinson: up 4.4 percent
— Junction City: up 0.2 percent
— Kansas City: up 5.8 percent
— Leavenworth: up 4.7 percent
— Lecompton: up 7.8 percent
— Manhattan: down 0.3 percent
— Olathe: up 4 percent
— Ottawa: up 4.7 percent
— Overland Park: up 2.9 percent
— Shawnee: up 3.9 percent
— Tonganoxie: up 8.9 percent
— Topeka: up 1.4 percent
— Sedgwick County: up 3.3 percent
One other thing I like to do is see how much Lawrence retail sales have grown after being adjusted for inflation. That exercise shows something important has happened. On an inflation-adjusted basis, Lawrence sales have again reached the level they were at prior to the recession. In other words, we finally have gained back our losses. Here's a look at the actual sales totals, with the number in parenthesis adjusted to 2013 dollars, based on the consumer price index.
2013: $1.38 billion
2012: $1.35 billion ($1.37 billion)
2011: $1.29 billion ($1.34 billion)
2010: $1.23 billion ($1.31 billion)
2009: $1.25 billion ($1.36 billion)
2008: $1.28 billion ($1.38 billion)
We'll have an even clearer picture of 2013 in the next few weeks when the report showing sales activity for late November and December is released. We'll have to wait and see what that shows about the true holiday shopping season. In the meantime, I have a lot of old candy corn left to eat.
Menard's project highlights city rule on vacant space; a look at how Lawrence ranks in state retail report
Build it, and it will be empty. That's the motto of Lawrence, at least in one way.
City planners will be reminded of that tonight. The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission will consider a proposal by Menard's, the large home improvement chain, to build a 190,000-square-foot store just east of 31st and Iowa streets. As we previously reported, the city's planning staff is recommending denial of the proposal.
But you may not be aware of one of the reasons the project has received a negative recommendation: When large retail projects are proposed in the city, planners are required to look at a retail market analysis to determine what the city's retail vacancy rate will be after the project is built. The way the rules are written, the vacancy rate is to be calculated by assuming the new project will be 100 percent vacant.
So when city officials do the calculations for this project, they put aside the fact that Menard's has no plans to build a 190,000-square-foot building and then leave it empty. Instead, the city adds the 190,000 square feet of the new store onto the city's estimated amount of vacant square footage, which stood at 643,000 square feet the last time it was calculated, in 2010.
When the city planners add on the 190,000 square feet, that pushes the city's supposed vacancy rate to 8.4 percent from 7 percent — which is just above the 8 percent total that is supposed to be a red flag when it comes to vacancy rates. According to a planning staff report, if you add in the approximately 65,000 square feet of smaller retail space proposed to be built along the outer edges of the Menard's project, the vacancy rate would jump to 9.6 percent.
But the city's planning rules also suggest planners go a step further. The city staff looked at all the retail zoning that currently is in place in the city, but doesn't yet have any buildings on it. That totals about 932,000 additional square feet. The city then makes the assumption that all of that will be built, and then be completely empty. That produces a frightening vacancy rate of 17.8 percent.
Planners, of course, don't think people are going to build large retail buildings without first having a tenant to occupy them. The city's planners understand the city's building market better than most because they are on the front lines of development proposals. But already I have heard people complaining about the city's Planning Department and why it would make this type of assumption. Well, city planners get the thankless job of being a referee in the city's politically charged development arena.
In other words, the job of a planner is to apply the rules to the project — not to rewrite the rules. Rewriting the rules is the job of city commissioners, and the rule that requires the city to assume large new retail buildings are going to be vacant has been on the city's books for at least the past decade.
Its days may be numbered, though. Scott McCullough, the city's planning director, told me the process has begun to change the rule. But it won't reach the City Commission in time to be considered for the Menard's proposal.
The rule change probably will get some opposition as well. There is certainly a group of local citizens that is very convinced the city's retail scene is overbuilt. They argue that even though a new Menard's building won't be empty, the addition of that much retail space in the city will cause an approximate amount of retail square footage elsewhere in the community to go vacant. That theory is how the rule got put in place to begin with.
In other words, the way the city's rules are written right now, retail is assumed to be a zero-sum game. For every one square foot of new retail space that comes into town, you must assume one square foot elsewhere will become vacant. Maybe that is the case in some economic climates. But maybe it isn't the case in other economic conditions.
What's certain is that retail zoning requests are a judgment call. The first round of judging will begin tonight at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, when the Planning Commission meets. Ultimately, city commissioners will make the final decision on the Menard's request.
• One other piece of information that was included in the city staff's report was a mention of a state report that ranks how Lawrence's retail scene is doing compared to other Kansas cities. It is called a "pull factor" report, and it is basically a look at how Lawrence's per capita sales tax collections compared to the statewide average. It is called a pull factor because it is assumed that cities with averages much higher than the state are "pulling" customers from other communities to shop.
It is a perfect statistic for retail developers because it can be manipulated to fit the situation. When the pull factor is low, it can be argued that more retail development is needed in order to stop the amount of Lawrence residents who go outside of the city to shop. When the number is high, it can be presented as evidence that retail demand is high and the market can support additional retail development.
But the numbers are interesting because they do a good job of showing how Lawrence's per capita spending stacks up against other cities. The most recent report, which is for the state's 2012 fiscal year, shows Lawrence's numbers have rebounded. The city's pull factor was 1.07, which means it is 7 percent higher than the statewide average. As recently as 2000, the city's pull factor was .99. Going back farther, the city hit a high-water mark of 1.13 in 2000. So, we're somewhere in the middle of the range but trending upward.
Here's a look at how other large towns in the state fared. I'll leave the analysis up to you: Lenexa: 1.52 Overland Park: 1.51 Salina: 1.47 Garden City: 1.47 Manhattan: 1.40 Leawood: 1.40 Topeka: 1.37 Hutchinson: 1.27 Liberal: 1.23 Dodge City: 1.22 Olathe: 1.18 Pittsburg: 1.13 Junction City: 1.12 Wichita: 1.11 Fort Scott: 1.09 Coffeyville: 1.08 Emporia: 1.08 Lawrence: 1.07 Parsons: 1.05 Shawnee: .93 Atchison: .89 Kansas City: .86 Newton: .87 Leavenworth; .73 Prairie Village: .64
Business prepares to move to make way for South Lawrence Trafficway; details and speculation about what else the SLT may bring
Construction on the South Lawrence Trafficway is still at least six months away from getting started, but signs of the coming changes already are starting to show up.
The one known business that will have to relocate due to the SLT recently has signed a deal for a new southeast Lawrence location. The business formerly known as RSC Equipment Rental will move to 930 E. 30th St., which is the space that used to be the parking lot and maintenance facility for the city's public transit buses.
RSC Equipment Rental now goes by the name of United Rentals, after the RSC chain of stores was purchased by United recently. The company rents aerial lifts and other types of construction equipment.
The company plans to use the existing 5,000-square-foot building on the site, but it will undergo about $250,000 worth of remodeling, according to plans filed at City Hall. An employee at United told me the move is likely to happen in the next month.
The business now is at the southeast corner of 31st and Haskell. But soon enough, a new road will run through that location. No, the new road won't be the South Lawrence Trafficway. It will be the new road called 32nd Street, which will be the local road that will run just north of the SLT. It will replace the thinly paved joy of driving that we currently know as 31st Street.
If you have forgotten about that new street, you probably have forgotten about several others. The South Lawrence Trafficway project likely will produce the most change in the city's street network of any project in decades. Take a look at the map on this page to see the details. Here's a reminder of what you are looking at:
• A portion of Haskell Avenue will move about 1,000 feet east of where it is today. Haskell will start making its shift to the east at about the point where it intersects with 29th Street today. In other words, right near where Hiper Technologies is located, or — if you are an old timer — where the Honeywell avionics plant used to be. Haskell will shift back to its current alignment before it reaches the Wakarusa River bridge. (At that point the road is actually called County Route 1055 because it is outside the city limits, for all you geography sticklers.)
• The existing portion of Haskell Avenue between 29th Street and the current 31st Street will remain in place to serve as a frontage road for the businesses — such as the new United Rentals building — that are just west of the existing Haskell Avenue.
• The existing 31st Street between Haskell and Louisiana will be removed and the property will be converted back to wetlands. The new 32nd Street — which will be four lanes — will be the local route through the wetlands.
• Louisiana Street south of 31st Street will undergo major changes. The road will be moved a half-mile to the west, in order to get the road farther away from the Baker Wetlands. In other words, if you are driving on Louisiana Street north of 31st Street and want to continue south, you are going to have to turn west onto the new 32nd Street. You'll take that new road — which turns into the existing portion of 31st Street in the city — for a half-mile. Then you can turn back south onto the new Louisiana Street. The new Louisiana Street eventually will curve back to the east and connect with the existing Louisiana Street (technically E 1400 Road outside the city limits) before it crosses the Wakarusa River. If you are trying to picture where the new Louisiana Street will intersect with 31st Street, it will be just east of the large apartment complex at 31st and Ousdahl.
The state plans to accept bids on the SLT project in September, and construction in the wetlands could be begin this fall. Work on the Haskell and Louisiana parts of the project wouldn't begin until 2014.
All of these new roads — with the largest, of course, being the new four-lane SLT — will create a lot of question both in the business community and at City Hall. The best way to get a feel for some of them is to go to Google Maps and type in the area of 31st and Louisiana. Zoom in several clicks, and the map will show you the route of the SLT and of the new 32nd, Haskell and Louisiana streets. That map does a good job of highlighting several pieces of property that seemingly will have a lot more development pressure in the near future.
Some properties and questions that jumped out at me include:
• The former Gaslight Mobile Home Park just east of Home Depot. As we have reported, Menards has filed a plan to build a new store on the property, plus have lots for several smaller retailers or restaurants. This is going to be an issue very soon. The Planning Commission is tentatively scheduled to review the plans in April. In order for the project to be approved, the city is going to have to change its planning documents. The city's planning documents call for the property to be developed as apartments.
Here's the question: Will the city stick to those plans when a major retailer clearly wants to be on the site? Now that a new 32nd Street is going to be built just east of the site, the property will be on one of the most highly improved roads in the city. That's generally where most cities want their retail.
The more political question is whether the City Commission will do everything it can to steer all new retail development to Sixth Street and the South Lawrence Trafficway in northwest Lawrence? After all, that is where the city will be investing $25 million for a new recreation center. But Menards has had plenty of opportunities to sign a deal to locate in the existing — and vacant — Mercato development at Sixth and the SLT. Company officials have told the city the site doesn't meet their current needs. Will the city hold its ground on steering development to Sixth and the SLT, or will it blink?
• The former E&E Display building at 29th and Haskell. That's a decent size manufacturing/warehouse building with some vacant/underutilized ground near it. When the SLT is built, it really will only be about a minute away from the freeway. I'll keep my eyes open for some sort of jobs producing deal for that location. If one doesn't materialize, given its location, economic developers should be asking what's wrong with our community?
• The vacant ground directly behind Wal-Mart at 33rd and Iowa streets. Until you look on the Google Maps, it is easy to forget about that piece of property. But the map makes it clear that it is one to remember. The ground stretches all the way from the Walmart/Crown Toyota area on the west to the former Printing Solutions building at 31st and Louisiana on the east. The entire piece of property will have great visibility from the South Lawrence Trafficway. As a bonus, the new Louisiana Street will cut through the property as well.
City commissioners talk about the need for planning, but what is the plan for that area? I'm sure there is something in a plan somewhere about that area, but it is an area that hasn't been talked about by city commissioners for awhile. It would seem — given its location next to major retailers such as Wal-Mart, Kohl's and others — that the market may have an interest in putting some retail there. Will the city share that interest?
It will be interesting to watch, and I'm pretty sure I won't be the only one watching. In fact, if you see a tent staked up on that vacant property, that's my wife. She wants to make sure she doesn't miss out on any early-bird specials.
Home sales up in January; new numbers on county's property tax base; median home values fall sharply in Baldwin, Eudora, rural areas; weekly land transfers
The signs of spring are starting to show up: morning sunlight and chirping birds, an article in the newspaper about crabgrass prevention, and me looking for my hidey-hole when my wife starts talking about the spring cleaning of the garage.
Of course, one other sign of spring soon will be the banners, balloons, pyrotechnic displays and whatever else real estate agents are using these days to attract attention to the large number of spring open houses. So, with that, how about some real estate news today? There are a few new reports of interest out.
• Lawrence home sales in January continued to show signs of improvement. A new report from the Lawrence Board of Realtors found home sales in January were up 44 percent compared to January 2012, rising to 36 from 25. It continues a multimonth streak of sales increases on a year-over-year basis, which has given real estate professionals cautious optimism that a recovery is starting to take hold in Lawrence.
One of the more interesting numbers in the report is that there has been a significant decline in the number of homes on the market, which real estate agents say is a sign the market is starting to get more balanced between buyers and sellers. In January, there were 380 homes on the market, down from 460 during the same period a year ago.
The number of days a home is sitting on the market, though, hasn't yet started to show that trend. The median days on market: 81, up from 72 a year ago.
• The Douglas County Appraiser's office has new information out about the county's real estate tax base. It appears Douglas County and the city of Lawrence once will again will avoid a major hit to their property tax bases.
The numbers aren't final yet because property owners can still file appeals related to their properties' assessed values, but the appraiser's office shows a decline of 0.29 percent for 2013. The total assessed valuation — remember, assessed value is the taxable value, not the market value — checks in at $1.024 billion in 2013, down from $1.027 billion in 2012.
The county is not used to declines but it has avoided the 5 percent or more declines in values that many other markets across the country have experienced.
Just for some historical perspective, I looked up some past numbers. Since 2008, the county's tax base has grown just 1.3 percent during the tough economic times. Since 2003, the county's tax base has grown 36.7 percent. To put an even finer point on how the last decade has been a tale of two halves, the numbers show that in the last half of the decade, the county's tax base has grown by less than 2 percent total. For the first half of the decade, the numbers show that from 2003 to 2008, the tax base grew by 35.8 percent. In case you are wondering, the rate of inflation for that time period was about 17 percent, according to the Consumer Price Index.
The housing bubble was fun for governments who rely on property tax dollars. Now, the question they're all still trying to figure out: What is the new normal?
• The appraiser's office hasn't provided a report that shows the assessed valuation by community yet, but normally Lawrence tracks closely with the overall county total — since Lawrence has most of the county's tax base within its boundaries.
But there may be real questions about what happens to the tax base in some of the smaller communities and townships in Douglas County.
The appraiser's office has put together a report estimating the median market values for residential property in each city in the county. The report shows significant drops everywhere but Lawrence. The median value in Lawrence in 2013 is $159,625, down 0.6 percent from the median of 2012.
That's nothing compared with what the report shows for the other areas of Douglas County. Here's a look:
• Eudora: the median market value has dropped 10.2 percent to $125,600, down from $140,000.
• Baldwin City: Down 7.4 percent to $132,700 from $143,400.
• Lecompton: Down 16.6 percent to $83,950 from $100,670
• Rural Douglas County: Down 22.8 percent to $153,400 from $198,805.
I haven't had a chance to talk to the appraiser yet about these numbers, but it seems to indicate the real estate market outside of Lawrence hasn't held up as well as the market inside of Lawrence.
• Finally, I have fallen behind on our weekly updates of land transfers and property sales as recorded by the Douglas County Register of Deeds. Click here to see listings for the last couple of weeks.
Ross department store set to open this week in Lawrence
Lawrence's latest retail chain store is about to make its debut.
Officials with Ross Dress for Less have confirmed that they will hold their grand opening celebration at 9 a.m. on Saturday. The store is going into the location at 3234 Iowa Street that previously was occupied by Old Navy. In other words, it will be in the building right next to Kohl's department store near 33rd and Iowa.
It looks to me, though, that shoppers will get their first chance at the new retailer on Friday. I drove by the location yesterday. (I bought a $4 tie at Kohl's after a Sertoma club luncheon created a battle between some pasta salad and the tie I wore to the event. The pasta salad won.) There was a sign on the Ross building that said the store was opening Friday.
I never have been successful in actually talking with a Ross official on the phone, so I don't know much about why the retailer chose to come to the Lawrence market or why it took it almost a year to open the store once it filed its plans with City Hall.
But they are here now, and according to a release from the company, this will be its third new store in the "Kansas City area" since October 2012. It is opening 20 other stores, in addition to the Lawrence store, this week. Overall, the company has about 1,000 stores across the country, and it bills itself as the "nation's largest off-price apparel and home fashion chain."
I don't know exactly what that means, other than I can probably expect to see a new addition to my monthly credit card bill. But according to the company's Web site, it carries a large line of women's clothing, in addition to some clothing or men and children, plus some shoes, accessories and home decor items.
We'll see whether it carries $4 ties because I'm pretty sure my battles with pasta salad aren't done. Or with BBQ sauce or with grape jelly or with chocolate pudding or with . . .
Menards files plans for Lawrence store next to Home Depot near 31st and Iowa streets
A home improvement center battle in Lawrence is about to begin.
Menards has filed plans at Lawrence City Hall to build a large home improvement center right next to Home Depot near 31st and Iowa streets.
The company — as was previously speculated — wants to locate in the former Gaslight Mobile Home Village.
The retailer has opened new stores in Topeka and Manhattan in recent months. Menards officials said in their application that significant numbers of Lawrence residents have been driving to the Topeka Menards. The retailer sells home improvement items — much like Home Depot or Lowes — but it also has a broader offerings that include home goods and other items.
The plans call for the 41.5 acres to be rezoned from an apartment/multi-family zoning designation to a Planned Commercial Development designation.
Documents included in the submittal indicate Menards is looking to build a 162,340 square foot store, although it isn't clear whether that number is the size of the building or also includes outdoor storage yards and such.
Either way, it appears the store would be significantly larger than the Home Depot store, which is just west of the proposed site.
The proposal will create a major retail question at City Hall. The city's long-range planning documents don't call for the former Gaslight Mobile Home Village to become a retail development. The plans call for it to become an apartment development. (You may remember a Texas-based company proposed a large student apartment complex for the site last year, but then pulled out when it determined the Lawrence market couldn't support it.) City commissioners will have to decide how much they want to stick to their previous statements that indicated the next area for big box store development should be the intersection of Sixth Street and the SLT, which not coincidentally is where the city and KU are working to build the new Rock Chalk Park sports village.
But Menards officials, in a letter to the city, made it clear they have no interest in that site.
"This site (Sixth and SLT) is very removed from the city's rooftops and is surrounded by vacant ground on three sides for many miles," Menards real estate representative Tyler Edwards wrote. "Additionally this site is not visible from the existing retail on Sixth Street due to a large hill. The amount of commercially oriented traffic that would pass by the store on Sixth Street or K-10 would be close to none and not enough to make a successful store."
The area around the Sixth and SLT site is obviously developing with the Rock Chalk Park project and just last night the city approved the preliminary development plan for The Links, a 630 unit apartment complex that will surround a private nine-hole golf course.
But none of that has been enough to convince Menards that the area will be viable for their store in the near future.
In the past — when Home Depot and Best Buy were built at the 31st and Iowa intersection more than a decade ago — neighbors expressed concern that retail shouldn't stretch east down 31st Street because of traffic and other issues that could impact nearby neighborhoods.
But with the South Lawrence Trafficway scheduled to start construction later this year, 31st Street will undergo major changes. An entirely new high-capacity street, dubbed 32nd Street, will be built through the nearby Baker Wetlands and connect with the existing 31st Street just east of the proposed Menards site.
This project may be the first one that causes people in the community to realize how much the completion of the SLT and the new U.S. Highway 59 is going to change south Lawrence. In addition to the Menards, the development plan also has room for another 65,000 square feet of retail space spread out over six lots on the site. But documents in the plan indicated those would be part of a Phase II that likely would not begin until a few years after Menards opens.
Menards confirmed it looked at creating a new retail site south of the SLT — basically between the SLT's Iowa Street bridge and the Wakarusa River — but determined the cost of dealing with the floodplain on the site was prohibitive. But I wouldn't be surprised to see other retailers look strongly at that site in the future.
In the meantime, expect a lot of discussion about Menards at City Hall. The earliest the development proposal could make it to the Planning Commission is in late April, meaning it will be the next City Commission that decides this issue.
Sporting goods store coming to 23rd Street and other retail rumblings
There's a trade in the works that sounds mighty familiar from my youth: Trading books for bats and balls.
I have received confirmation that University Book Shop, 1116 W. 23rd St., is on the way out, and Jock's Nitch sporting goods is on the way in.
Scott Ozier, a store manager for Jock's Nitch, told me the company will be vacating its space at 916 Massachusetts St. in order to offer a more full-line sporting goods store in the much larger space on 23rd Street.
"This will allow us to carry a lot more sporting goods," said Ryan Boler, another manager at the company, which has eight stores in eastern and central Kansas and another five in Missouri and Oklahoma. "There is a need for it in Lawrence. There are not a lot of options in Lawrence right now, and we think the location on 23rd Street will make it easier for people to get to."
The Jock's Nitch store at 837 Massachusetts St. will remain open. That store serves as the company's KU fan shop store, focusing on apparel and other team merchandise rather than sporting goods.
The new store on 23rd Street will be more than twice as large as the company's store on Massachusetts Street.
Ozier said the new store can handle a larger line of products in all categories, but he said the soccer section is expected to expand significantly, and more football gear is expected during season as well. In addition, the company will start running a team center out of the store, selling custom apparel to youth and high school teams.
Ozier said he hopes the store can be open by April 1. The company's store at 916 Massachusetts has been closed all week, but reopened today to begin a moving liquidation sale. The store is marking down items 25 percent to 75 percent in an effort to reduce the amount of merchandise that the company will have to move. Ozier said the store will be open through the holidays, but likely would close in early 2013, and then reopen a few months later on 23rd Street.
No word yet on when the last day for the University Book Shop will be. It does not come as a surprise that UBS is leaving the location. We reported earlier this year that the building was on the market. Plus, the owners of UBS also own Jayhawk Bookstore, which has a prime textbook selling location right on the edge of the KU campus.
• I know talk of a sporting goods store will cause people to wonder about whether one of the big box retailers, like a Dick's Sporting Goods Store, is eyeing Lawrence.
That rumor certainly has been around for awhile, but so far it has remained just that — a rumor. The former Sears building at 27th and Iowa has been a rumor hub for such developments. Dick's has been mentioned as a possible tenant for that location, but my understanding is that the long-term future of the Sears building is uncertain because Sears' parent company and the Los Angeles real estate company that owns the building haven't yet agreed how to dispose of the remaining time left on the building's lease.
The latest rumor I've heard — and I haven't yet confirmed it — is that a local car dealership plans to move into a portion of the building while it does major work on one of its dealership buildings. I'll check on that and see if there is any truth there.
As for big box stores, though, I'm pretty certain Lawrence is getting some serious looks from a few. I don't know all the names yet, but Menards sure seems to be mentioned a lot these days. We had reported there may be some interest in converting the former Gaslight Mobile Home Village into retail space, now that a deal for an apartment complex has fallen through at that location. But I'm pretty certain there are other locations Menards and other big box stores are looking at.
Certainly, there is the retail area the Schawda's are trying to develop at Sixth and the South Lawrence Trafficway, which they hope will get a boost from the proposed KU/city sports park. But I'm going to be keeping a close eye on the South Iowa Street corridor. I think there is a lot of momentum building in the southern Lawrence area.
Do you think it is coincidence that it is building about the same time folks think the South Lawrence Trafficway will be completed?
I'll let you know when I hear more solid details.

If adopted by the governor and the Legislature, the switch to managed care would slow, but not halt or reverse, the growth of the state's burgeoning Medicaid bill.
"Nobody's saying we're going to need less money next year," said state Health Officer Don Williamson.
For the past few months, Williamson has headed a 16-member panel appointed by Gov. Robert Bentley to reform the state's Medicaid system. Medicaid is a program, funded by both the state and federal governments, that provides health coverage for people living in poverty.
The total cost of the state's program is in the billions, with only a portion of that money coming out of the state budget. The cost to the state has skyrocketed over recent years as a struggling economy resulted in more people placed on the Medicaid rolls. A majority of the state's children — 53 percent — are now born to mothers on Medicaid.
Bentley appointed the panel to find reforms that could trim the program's cost, which took up $603 million of the state budget this year.
The board considered two options. One would have turned Medicaid over to commercial managed-care companies, which would be paid a set fee per patient. The profit motive, supporters said, would give the companies incentive to keep costs down.
The other option was a community-based care network, in which local entities create systems to monitor and manage patient costs, in much the same way as a commercial managed-care company.
Both options were projected to save the state money, said Steve Schramm, an independent auditor hired to project the savings from both plans. By 2018, Schramm said, the community care approach would save the state between $148 million and $320 million; the projected savings from commercial managed care were higher — $268 million to $364 million over the same period.
Neither option means that Medicaid would cost less — just that it would cost less than without reform. Williamson said it wouldn't stop the state's Medicaid bill from growing to $650 million, but "this lets you stay at $650 million a little longer."
Mike McKinney, former Texas health commissioner and later head of Indiana's Medicaid managed-care plan, said that in his experience, community care plans don't save money. He said commercial managed- care plans have a proven track record.
"We concentrate on basic care," he said. "We try not to manage the money, but to manage the care."
But commission members remained skeptical of the commercial approach. Rep Ed Henry, R-Decatur, said he was concerned that the plan would give state money to out-of-state companies.
On a voice vote, the commission voted overwhelmingly to approve the community care approach. Williamson said there was only one vote against — Kyle Godfrey, the commission member appointed to represent the commercial providers. Godfrey is a lawyer for United Healthcare.
It wasn't clear how many members abstained from the vote.
The commission's plan would divide the state into Medicaid regions, with a plan to develop a community care network in each. The state already operates similar patient care networks in four cities, but unlike private managed-care companies, those networks aren't funded with a simple per-patient fee. The commission's plan would expand those networks and move them toward the per-patient fee approach.
The vote is just the beginning of potential reform for the Medicaid system, however. Williamson said it would be up to Bentley to accept or reject the recommendation. Full implementation of the change would likely require legislative action as well.
The change would also require the state to get a waiver to deviate from current federal Medicaid rules. That could take a year, if it happens at all, Williamson said.
"This was the easy part," he said of the Wednesday vote.

Forget flip flops, spend the rest of the summer in sandals
Popsugar reports that GQ writer Glenn O'Brien is not down with flip flops and I'm inclined to agree. They're great for the beach but for work or social occasions flip flops are just a little too studenty. Unless you're applying to appear on CH4′s Shipwrecked they shouldn't really be part of your day-to-day wardrobe.
O'Brien says: "Flip-flops are for the beach or maybe for washing the car or spaniel. They are not the next big thing. They are the last sad thing on the road to stylistic surrender." Worst of all are the 'sporty' or dress flip flop with rugged all-terrain stylings (left), they should never be worn. See after the jump for my pick of the best sandals so you'll never have to resort to flip flops again.

The 54th Annual
Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference:
"Human Security in the Information Age"
April 8-10, 2014
Registration for NAFAC 2014 is now closed. Please send any questions to firstname.lastname@example.com
For confirmed delegates, Roundtable assignments will be sent out shortly, and please be sure to check out the Delegate Paper Guidance!The 54th Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference will look at the nature of the changing relationship between the individual and the state within the context of the Information Age.
This conference aims to examine the Information Age within the paradigm of human security emphasizing the security of the individual over the traditional construct of national security. The last three decades have seen a proliferation of information technologies and increasingly complex social networks. These technologies enable citizens to interact, collaborate, inform, and take collective action in ways that are redefining the traditional understanding of what it means to be secure in our persons. Political, criminal, and violent threats made possible by the Information Age not only threaten individual security but also undermine the ability of the state to protect its citizens. Likewise, the Information Age is forcing a reevaluation of the role of the state itself with regards to the exchange of information amongst its people, with non-state actors, and with other states. How does the Information Age affect the security of the individual? What form will the interactions between states and the individual take in this new Information Age? Has the Information Age enabled freedom or strengthened control?
Established in 1961, the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference brings together more than 150 undergraduate students from the United States and over a dozen foreign countries every year for three days of critical discussions, lectures, informal exchanges, and social events.

Blogging is going mainstream. Just ask the California Library Association. CLA recently started a weblog, or blog, to update members on upcoming events, encourage action on important issues, send news about changes in policies and procedures, and help create community between CLA staff and its membership.
CLA is just one among a growing number of associations turning to blogging — online journals, usually written in reverse chronological order and in a much more conversational tone than other association publications — to pump up interest in their events, and in their organizations. Is blogging right for you?
The Upside of Blogging
A blog is a chance to showcase your event as the place to go for expert information. "You can open a debate about any of the sessions being offered, or discuss the market impact of different products being showcased," says Rich Westerfield, who manages The Westerfield Group, a marketing consulting company in Pittsburgh. "You can discuss trends, and legal and other issues that interest your audience."
Blogs "make an association's Web site more informal, friendly, energetic, and even funny," says Lori Bowen Ayre, president of the Galecia Group, based in Petaluma, Calif., who developed the blog for the California Library Association. "They get more people involved in the association, and they show how active and exciting the organization is based on what's going on in its blog."
Susan Negreen, the Sacramento, Calif.-based CLAs executive director, says, "Our members were really excited about the blog, and now that we're using it, I am too." She says that CLA's blog (www.cla-net.org/weblog), which uses blogging software Moveable Type, is integrated seamlessly with the rest of the Web site. It is so easy to use that the association now is using it in a pilot project to allow the information-technology section leaders to post their own updates, rather than sending them in to headquarters for staff to deal with. "If the pilot works out well, we might do it for other sections, too," she says.
Because they usually contain many outbound links, and they tend to link to each other, blogs also tend to bound to the top of searches on link-loving search engines like Google and Yahoo!. This means you will be extending your reach far beyond your usual promotional mailing list to others who will find you through a keyword search for topics you just so happen to be blogging about.
Negreen isn't sure yet what impact it may have on membership — she thinks it might have the potential to catch the attention of the younger generations — but the blog, started in January 2005, already has saved printing and mailing costs. It also has given CLA a faster way to communicate with its members than a newsletter, since it can be updated instantly. Negreen, who has been tracking Web traffic on the CLA site, also noticed another plus: "We never had any dramatic spikes on our site previously. But when we put the blog up, the number of hits on our site skyrocketed."
Some Cautionary Notes
Blogs can be set up and maintained for free through sites like Google's Blogger.com, or for more features, they can be done for less than $100 per year through sites including Typepad.com. There also are inexpensive software programs, including WordPress and Moveable Type, that you can use to host a blog on your own servers. But blogs do require a serious investment of time and energy, both in the research and writing of posts, and in making sure no one says anything inappropriate in the comments area. Many associations choose to not allow readers to comment in order to have more control over the content, and fewer worries over legal liabilities.
"Who knows what members will say? What if they started attacking your event sponsors, or suggesting a boycott, or defaming someone on the board?" queries James Seely, an attorney with Association Legal Services in San Francisco. He also cautions about antitrust issues for trade associations, and all the other issues that go hand in hand with any type of publication, online or off, such as intellectual property infringement, copyright infringement, and trade libel. "If you control all the content on the blog by not allowing others to comment, you cut out a lot of potential legal problems," he says.
And there can be other issues as well, as the American Marketers Association found out last fall when it did a blog for a seminar it was holding on making money from blogs. Westerfield says that one person's comments on the speakers' lack of qualifications to talk on the subject got widely circulated. "But the speakers rallied around the event through their blogs, mitigating the negatives," he says.
Most blogging software and hosting sites allow you the option of moderating comments so you can review them before they go live on the blog. Ayre doesn't recommend it, though. "Blogging is labor-intensive enough, because it's important to have a new entry several times a week. Adding the headache of moderating comments, which can be full of spam, could be overwhelming."
Bear in mind, though, that your constituency may just not be ready for it yet. Blogging is still very much in its infancy. According to a recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, only one in four Americans are either very familiar or somewhat familiar with blogs, and 56 percent don't know a blog from a bootstrap. But since a quarter of all blog readers are 18 to 29 (an age bracket that makes up just 17 percent of the public), if your audience is young and/or tech-savvy, you just might find that blogging reaches them in a way other efforts don't.
But a blog "will not take the place of anything else you're doing, not even e-mail newsletters," says Westerfield. Negreen agrees: "Not all of our members are on the technology bandwagon, and for those who aren't, we publish a magazine. It's important not to forget those who aren't there yet."
Something to Blog About
Despite the potential risks, associations are jumping on the blogwagon in growing numbers. For example:
The Air Conditioning Contractors of America, based in Arlington, Va., not only runs the ACCABuzz blog (acca.blogs.com), but developed a separate blog just for its ACCA Conference and Expo, held in March in Austin, Texas, (acca.blogs.com/conference), which highlighted news from the conference and awards announcements, among other things.
The American Society of Association Executives, based in Washington, D.C., ran a similar blog for its 2004 meeting, which many members found to be a refreshing addition to the conference coverage (blogs.centeronline.org/ASAE Minneapolis2004). Some used the comments area to suggest improvements for the 2005 conference. One said, "I hope this becomes a tradition."
The Chicago-based American Bar Association's Business Law Section also is going wild blogging its meetings (aba-cyberspace.blogspot.com), with separate blogs for each of its meetings linked to its home page.
The American Association for Pediatrics, Elk Grove Village, Ill., uses its BloggingBaby site to convey tips, advice, and facts about child care to parents everywhere (www.bloggingbaby.com).
The Online News Association (www.journalists.org), based in Bethesda, Md., doesn't allow comments — but it does goes one step further by inviting attendees to post directly to the blog for its 2004 conference. It even invites attendees to keep the conversation going after the event by continuing to post "interesting ideas you've heard or discussions you've had at the conference … or any other ideas or opinions related to the subjects discussed at the conference."
Ayre suggests taking the blogging concept for a test-drive on Blogger.com or one of the other free blog host sites "to see how much time it takes, to get a feeling about what you're going to blog about, so when it comes time to have it more tightly integrated into your Web site, you have an idea of what it's all about.
Then if you decide it's too hard, you've invested nothing but a little time. She adds, "There are so few things you can do freely and easily, and have fun doing — blogs are one. Do it, and have fun!"
Watch Out!
EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK BLOGGING is for you, keep in mind that, chances are, your attendees are blogging about your expo — and your association. Fortunately, it's easy these days to keep track of what they're saying, whether it's to do damage control or just to improve customer service by responding to their requests even before they officially make them known to you.
Among the online tools available are Technorati, PubSub, Blogpulse, Feedster, NewsGator, and Bloglines. Each allows you to track keywords, phrases, and even your meeting's name, almost in real time, so you know exactly when people are talking about your conference, and what they're saying. Most of these sites also offer RSS news readers (see sidebar, page 24), in case you'd like to track a few blogs on your own. It's important to see what's going on because, while you may not want to pay attention to the world of blogs, chances are it's paying attention to you.
Blogs Aren't Just for Conferences
Because many blog hosts allow you to password-protect the site, you can use them for all kinds of internal meetings as well as for your annual conference. Just imagine what it would be like if…
Your section leaders were blogging the latest tips, techniques, and strategies of their topic areas, educating all the members on how to better perform their tasks.
Remote team members — perhaps from international offices, and those spread around the country — were communicating regularly through a blog, with no time zone barriers or e-mail glitches to contend with. The information would be up and ready to view for all members, all the time, and they could keep each other updated on their project's progress. Instead of meeting once a quarter or once a year, they'd be meeting regularly online, and becoming a smoothly functioning team by working together virtually.
Your board members were communicating regularly through a blog, hashing out ideas and brainstorming new ways to improve the organization.
RSS What?
You may not have heard about RSS yet, but before long, it could change the way you do business. RSS stands for Rich Site Summary, an XML format for distributing news headlines on the Web, also known as Real Simple Syndication. Most blogs, and increasingly, some other Web sites, are starting to incorporate RSS feed into their sites. Blog visitors can plug the RSS feed into their news reader, which can reside either on their computers or on Web sites like bloglines.com, and the news reader will regularly check the site and let the person know when something new has been posted to the sites they're monitoring.
This means that, once their audience has caught on to the RSS phenomenon, conference organizers can stop worrying about their e-mail marketing messages getting blocked by spam filters, inadvertently deleted, or otherwise misplaced. If someone wants to keep up-to-date on what's happening with your event, they just subscribe to your RSS feed on the event Web site.

When the Cubs face the Reds, I always start the process of thinking of a redhead to represent Cincinnati, because that's so clever. Alyson Hannigan of 'How I Met Your Mother' popped into my head largely because I was typing out Reds catcher Ryan Hanigan, and the link was obvious.
And, I think I've done this before, but it's such a logical idea ... since the Reds get Alyson Hannigan, the Cubs have to get her HIMYM co-star Cobie Smulders.

A fountain of ethical lapses
The Internal Revenue Service's harassment of conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status between 2010 and 2012 was a sleazy affair, but it was only one of many.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency "was making it nearly impossible for groups critical of the agency to obtain any information," according to a recent Weekly Standard magazine report that said 18 of 20 Freedom of Information Act requests made by the Competitive Enterprise Institute, free-market think tank, were denied while "the vast majority of requests" from environmental groups were approved.

Lakeway >Beauty > Transformation Salon
2300 Lohmans Spur Ste 118, Lakeway, TX | Directions 7873430.338820 -97.970062
Terrible Experience – I decided on transformations based on some reviews posted here and the fact it is a Paul Mitchell Salon. I went in to have a cut and color. I told stylist what I did not want ( fake red or too dark more like caramel) My hair was Med brown which I wanted to add some dimension to color. After a lot of professional lingo between owner and stylist and 5 hours later I had a gold halo and and fakey red and black hair. I told her right after she dried it that it was not what I wanted she added something to top of my head and it still was too gold. Owner rescheduled me and I went back in a few days later and explained what I wanted again. Once again lots of discussion three hours later I have BLACK hair and paid way too much money ($165 for botched hair. If you want professional this is not the place to go.
Great Salon for Men – I'm in my 40s and starting to turn gray. I went to Transformation and got a color treatment called Flashback. It was quick and easy and the price very reasonable. I look about ten years younger now.
Transform Yourself With Transformation Salon – I've been going to Transformation Salon (a Paul Mitchell Focus Salon) and Grace Watson for all of my hair care and styling needs for about 8 years now, and wouldn't think of going anywhere else for these services. I no longer reside in Austin, but drive in from Fort Worth every 6 to 8 weeks for hair appointments because I am so pleased with everything from the color, to the shampoo, cut, and style.
Everyone who works at the salon is so friendly and the customer service is superb. Grace and her staff are constantly working to learn new styles, cuts, and colors.
Grace always does a fabulous job with my color and cut... I get tons of compliments! She knows hair, and she takes the time to get to know her clientele.
Great cuts, color, and character – Grace is amazingly creative. I can be a difficult customer and she is always understanding and patient with me.
My husband and I positively love getting our hair washed there. All the stylists are trained to give head massages.
Not only do I love Grace's talent but I also think she is an angel. She has provided me with so much support-during breast cancer, back surgery, and the adoption of my daughter.
I frequently have strangers comment that they like my hair.
I have to say that they also have the best customer service around! Other business should take note!
Wouldn't go anywhere else! – I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else to get my hair done! I have really long wild curly hair and most stylist
are scared of my hair...not Grace. She knows how to cut and style it to bring out the best in it. People actually come up to me on the street to discuss my hair! She is an amazing colorist and I wouldn't trust my hair to anyone else!
The Best Hair Cut I have ever gotten – How often do you hear...You have the best hair? I get that all the time now since Grace, owner and master stylist, has been cutting and coloring my hair. I usually change stylist about once a year because you feel they just do not care anymore. I am over the 2 year mark with Grace. Not only is she a Paul Mitchell Salon but she has over 25 years experience. Her salon is fun, inviting and friendly. I end up spending entirely too much time there :) Grace spent over 30 minutes with my hair before she ever made the first cut. She is just very good at what she does.

It turned out to be a little smaller than what I was expecting, but it definitely has everything you could possibly need, and it looks well-made. I'm sure I will get lots of mileage out of it.
Perfect... contains practically everything you need to adjust you guitar or bass. The case feels solid and strong. Pretty handy kit! Thank you stewmac for always keeping the high quality products.
It's a really useful kit, i mean it! Even the metal feels good and strong.
It's a bit hard to pull the bits out of their sockets, mostly because I have big hands. Sometimes i just simply take several bits at the same time just to reach the one i need, but that's just me.
This little red box has been really useful around the house :)
Great little kit. Tthe handle is plastic but it feels solid so far. Very convenient.
I love this set. All the tools I need to adjust my guitars and pedals in one place.
Got to say I am very disappointed in this. Perhaps the magnetism isn't as strong as it should be as the extension shaft and bits keep falling out :-(
The previous set with ball bearing to hold the bits in place was far superior, don't know why they fixed something that wasn't broke? Just adding the extra bits would of been a better idea.
Julyan Wallis,
We're sorry to hear the Screwdriver Set arrived defective. We hate to hear you were disappointed with this product. Please accept our sincere apology and a full refund or replacement.
It's smaller than I expected but to be honest that was the pleasant surprise. The kit is really awesome and has most of the things you will need on the spot.
An absolute must for any player or repair person alike not sure how I lasted till now to get one smart choice on my behalf ..:) great product once again
This is a really good small set of tools. Very handy to keep in gig bag. With the addition of 1/2" and 7/16" sockets it is a huge plus to have with you.
Handiest tool you could have! A lifesaver! StewMac high quality!

Soccer Commercials Rule
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
If the beautiful game is supposed to be so freaking boring (something I wholeheartedly disagree with), why does it allow the best damn sports commercials around? 2008 is only 5 months old and we've already had this one and now we have two more to add to the ever-growing pile of awesomeness.
This first one was evidently directed by Guy Ritchie and it shows the game from the 1st-person perspective.
I'm particularly fond of the vomiting scene. It reminds me of when I play. Or at least, after I sub out.
This next one is features just about everybody from the Nike Soccer stable and it encourages players to improve their game, no matter what their deficiency is. If you can only shoot right-footed, work on your left and so on. Good stuff.
Hat-tips are certainly in order as well. Thanks to the The Beautiful Game and 101 Great Goals for finding and posting these gems — which I'd like to see more of, as opposed to the Nike Sparq stuff — because, you know, I've got strong all day.

This and That
I live in Greenfield with my husband and cat. I work full time. Frugality and simplicity have been a part of my life long before they became popular and it has made life a lot less stressful. I love volunteering, home improvement/decorating, crafting and gardening.
Over this past week, I've watched television newscasts and read articles about the ten-year anniversary of 9/11 that is coming up. I'm overcome with emotion. We ALL have been affected in some way by what happened on that day. Our lives have changed. We are not and never will be completely safe ever again. There will be more wars, more fighting and more terrorist attacks. There will be heroes, as always, who do their best to keep us safe and there will be times when they will fail.
On the day of the attacks, two of my friends from our old neighborhood in West Allis called and told me to get out of the building I was working in - I work in a 19-story office building. I felt safe and none of us left work at first; we were glued to the various television sets that were set up in conference rooms. No one got any work done that day.
