Food recommendations

Hi guys! I am out here on a work trip. What would you suggest to get for dinner? I was looking at going to the wheel barrel or the weather house. If you have been there and think it’s good let me know or if you have any other suggestions around the area of those other two restaurants please share!

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

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)

https://preview.redd.it/69ry2baxbzhh1.png?width=814&format=png&auto=webp&s=87346e3bb62abd463797c32548cdb2d32e55ecc2

"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."
