The food here is some of the best local cuisine I have had since arriving in Lawrence with their signature wings and their unbelievable onion rings. Along with great food and a great environment, the only thing that beats out both of these is the great service. Each waiter or waitress treats the customers with a big smile and the utmost courtesy. Now, if there was any room for improvement it would have to be the wait getting seated. Because of

Wednesday's article "Coroner's office will release autopsy in June" said Jay Wren, Jason's father, believed Jason drank heavily because he was upset after missing a bus to a club lacrosse game. Sigma Alpha Epsilon members told Wren Jason was upset he had missed the bus and that perhaps that was why he chose to drink heavily. Wren said he thought it made sense Jason would be upset because Jason would have been in the starting lineup for the game. Wren said it was unlike Jason to miss a commitment and that he did not know why Jason missed the bus.
