Late on paying Evergy bill

2 Upvotes

I’ve never been late before but I’ve also only with them for 2 months; I realized that the bill is due tomorrow but I have no way to pay it till, to be more realistic, till the end of the month.

I know to expect late fees but will they turn off my electricity at all? I’ve heard of people not even getting notices until like 3 months after u were first late but all those posts are from years ago and I need a more recent explanation you know?

I hope they don’t since ya know; it’s been over 100 outside for the last few days and won’t cool down for a while-

Tribes and Republican leaders begin their endorsements of Curtis in 1928

Jan, 1928:
- The Creek Nation endorses Curtis for President, calling him "the logical choice"
- Governor Paulen (KS) speaks in New York City: “[He’s] the man of the people,” this “race track jockey” who came such an incredible way to become what he was
- Delegate Teddy Roosevelt, Jr. at a Kansas Day dinner: “[Curtis] always measured up to the highest ideal of Americanism”

Feb., 1928:
- Kaw Nation endorses Curtis for President
- The press says: Curtis is a man of "distinction," and one who is "frank, open, serious, virtuous, capable and honorable"
- A New York City HQ opens to support his campaign on the east coast

Mar., 1928:
- Albert "Doc" Newman becomes Curtis' Missouri campaign manager
- Senator Pine (R-OK) endorses him
- He is called a "100% American," meaning the only candidate with truly American roots due to his Kaw heritage

Apr., 1928
- The "Washington Evening Star" notes that Curtis was the economical choice, because he wouldn't have to scratch his initials into the White House furniture, since Cal Coolidge surely already put a C.C. there
- Curtis' daughter, Leona Knight, wins a delegate seat to the Convention from Rhode Island

Hey everyone, I’m a 29 year old male, and I’ve just recently moved here from OKC and I’m just trying to know the area and probably meet people. If anyone has any suggestions as what Topeka offers and what there is around here to occupy my time, I would appreciate that!

Boardgame Demo at Amazing Fantasies Saturday -Nature : Climate Change

Thumbnail facebook.com
6 Upvotes

I'm posting a board game demo at amazing fantasies tomorrow:

Nature is a strategy board game by the designer of the award-winning Evolution series.

In Nature, you must adapt your species to an ever-changing ecosystem where food is scarce and predators lurk. Give species traits like Tusked to help with foraging, Fast to escape danger, or Clawed to hunt other species. To succeed, you'll need to grow your species population and keep them alive.

Can you adapt to the changing environment, grow your population, and thrive?

https://www.northstargames.com/pages/nature

Earth’s climate is never static. Ice ages advance and retreat, temperatures rise and fall, and environments transform. Some species adapt - growing thick fur or migrating with the seasons - while others disappear into the fossil record. Each dramatic shift in climate marks a turning point in evolutionary history, writing a new chapter in the epic story of life on Earth.

Climate adds a climate track, 2 climate dice, and 8 new traits that help species adapt to a dramatically shifting world.

Hi! I live in another state, my bf is from Kansas and he loves Starbucks plus he loves collecting the mugs they sell but somehow he doesn't have one from his home state, he recently moved to upstate New York and I'm still in Missouri, I'm gonna visit him soon and I was thinking about getting him the Kansas Starbucks mug, I have gone to a location in Pittsburgh but they didn't have it and called two more Starbucks and they told me to check out target in Topeka, I tried calling the store but no one picked up the phone

Has anyone seen by any chance a cup that looks like this inside target

Impossible Burgers bar and grill?

4 Upvotes

Hello fellow Topekans! I have kind of niche question.

Due to some past health problems, I have stopped eating red meat, but I love a good burger at a bar and grill. I've visited many places that have Impossible Burgers (plant based) on the menu, but haven't seen any in Topeka.

Does anyone know of a bar and grill in Topeka that serves Impossible?

Thanks!

Oktoberfest Events

Curious what events are confirmed for Oktoberfest in the area this year? I've been keeping an eye open on restaurant websites like the Blind Tiger, but most Google searches direct me toward Kansas City and I'd rather support local this year.

TIA for any leads!

In search of job!

I’m going to keep this backstory short; I am moving to Topeka, Kansas in less than 4 weeks, I have recently got out of a really toxic relationship with a woman who I have been engaged with for 2 years. I have family there in Topeka and so I am in a desperate need of a guaranteed job prior to moving and I have already filled out multiple applications to various businesses and even applying directly with the city. This is my resume and it is one of two pages of work history. I am 29 years old and a very productive employee with extensive experience in welding and skilled in multitudes of different areas. I have censored certain bits of information out of respect for privacy.

New 360 cameras surrounding statehouse

21 Upvotes

Just heads up to those that don't like to be surveilled, looks like the state has added mass monitoring cameras at the edge of the statehouse grounds. Each looks like it contains 6 cameras, not only pointing in towards the Capitol, but also out to the street.

I saw 2 on Jackson and Harrison sides I believe, lined up with s and n porticos. One in the middle on 10th and 8th I think, but I could be incorrect.

Mayor Spencer Duncan's Announcement on the Special Governing Body session on Data Centers (08/19/2026 at 5:00 PM)

15 Upvotes

"The announcement of a special Governing Body work session regarding data centers has understandably raised questions in the community. I want to explain the purpose of this meeting, the City’s role, and the additional steps we are taking.

The data center currently being discussed is proposed for property in unincorporated Shawnee County, outside the Topeka city limits. Because of that location, Shawnee County — not the City of Topeka — has land-use and zoning authority over whether the project may be constructed at that site.

That does not mean the project is irrelevant to Topeka. A development of this size would affect our broader community, infrastructure, utilities, environment, and economy. It is therefore important that the Governing Body engage in the discussion, obtain information and hear directly from the organizations involved."
