terror thought only to exist in nightmares, comic books and movies manifested itself physically Thursday, when hundreds of zombies stormed a packed Massachusetts Street. They marched with with blood splatterings, missing limbs and ashen faces, snarling for human flesh. J.P. and Sarah Tiemgo, along with their two kids, witnessed it all from their lawn chairs and had a great time.

zombie enthusiasts dress the part and walk up and down Massachusetts Street sidewalks for all to see. The outbreak began near sundown in South Park, where The Granada Theater, which organized this year’s walk, provided makeup stands and T-shirt sales for participants. Proceeds will go to the Lawrence Humane Society. Mike Logan, owner of the Grana“As always, we love it. Great da, said about 1,000 zombies participeople-watching,” J.P.

Topeka — On a sidewalk in downtown Topeka this week, two national reporters stood outside a restaurant waiting for Greg Orman to arrive. He was scheduled to hold one of his “roundtable” talks with local small-business owners, but the start time was being moved back. Orman, the independent candidate for the U.S. Senate, knew the reporters were there waiting.

Orman chuckled when he was asked about that scene a day later. “Our campaign has always been about getting our message out to the voters of Kansas,” he said. Privately, his aides put it even more

here is a scary sight in downtown Lawrence these days: a new Halloween store in the former Borders bookstore at Seventh and New Hampshire streets. It is scaring the stuffing out of people who have hoped that the former Borders building would become home to a much-wanted downtown grocery store. If you remember, we reported about a month ago that

we can’t seem to come to any common ground,” Jim Lewis, the owner of Checkers, told me. “I’ve told our real estate agent that the ball is basically in (the building’s owners’) court.” In other words, the two sides can’t agree on a price or terms for the building. I certainly had heard that Lewis was most interested in buying the building, but I’ve also heard that the ownership group out of Michigan

the owners of the Lawrencebased Checkers grocery store were in negotiations to open a full-service grocery store in the Borders location. The Halloween store doesn’t kill that possibility — it is only a temporary, seasonal store — but it is a sign that negotiations for a grocery store aren’t progressing like people had hoped. “We have made several offers to buy or lease the building, but

Lewis said he hasn’t given up on the idea of a downtown grocery store. “I’m still optimistic, but I can’t tell you a location at this point,” Lewis said. “But my son and I are committed to making something happen down there.” Lewis said he’s also not giving up on the possibility of striking Please see GROCERY, page 2A
