No one wants to risk mispronouncing the truly intimidating “Warkoczewski Observatory.” Their website cas.umkc.edu/physics/warko/ can give you a little help with it. 3. The new three-way stop sign at 51st and Oak Street I mean, come on kids, it’s not the best area for a crosswalk but this “solution” causes a lot of traffic.
