Earthquake shocks felt in Emporia

I was sitting at my table and it started shaking, so naturally I thought the dog was under it scratching away. Nope, the dog was across the room staring at the wall, which too was shaking. My husband and I just stood there staring at each other, both thinking the same thing... we just bought this house 3 weeks ago and everyone was right about what they told us...the house is haunted...lol scary thought at the time but fortunately it wasn't that after all...phew lol

‘Halloween’ cemetery tour canceled amid controversy

BRAVO....I am glad they canceled this. Do the tour during the day. From the moment I heard about this, I could not believe Emporia would allow any organization to go so low as to disrespect the dead. Some of you say it is not disrespect, shame on you. Using a cemetery for some ghoulish thriller at night to make money? Flashlights and spooky gadgets? Come on...be respectful to those who have passed before us.

Update:Victim of fatal overnight accident identified

It doesn't matter what race they are...why do so many Emporians point out what race a person is? We are ALL God's children...(like it or not) so we are all brothers and sisters in His eyes!
This is sad to have happened, but yes, Logan Ave and many other streets in this town are becoming race tracks. I say, put in speed bumps, nothing else seems to work. I live on market and from South ave to the rail road tracks, we also have to put up with people driving 50+ mph. It's not going to get better until the city cracks down harder or installs speed bumps in problem areas.

My heart and prayers go out to the young man's family.

Dead body discovered during structure fire

And we will never hear about this again on what happened. Funny how things happen here in town but everything becomes hush hush after the fact.

Mea Culpa

Yes I agree...publish their name and photos on the front page. I'm sure then the 3rd one will be identified if Gazette would publish the photos ;)

S & S Cafe to close after 50 years

“Most people that run a business think about taxes first,” she said. “My first thought is people. They have asked to borrow money and I’ve helped them out. If someone needs medicine, you have to lend them the money. They have not always had the money to repay it.”.......

Sorry, but if we all felt that way, we'd all be on the street. Paying IRS taxes is no different than the responsibility to pay home mortgages, electric, gas, water, etc...these things need to be your top priority in life. If there is money left over, then help out. I for one am not going to live on the street because I loaned all my money out to help others before I helped myself with the main living necessities. Seems silly to go under for that reason. JMO
