Lawrence

I’ve heard that Lawerence was settled by New Englanders who moved westward. You can tell because Lawerence feels like New England. Amazing concerts, wonderful people who are all passionate about one thing: KU BASKETBALL.

lawrence is THE best small town to go visit in the midwest of the usa. its soo refreshing to find such a great city in the middle of nowhere, literally. great nightlife, great people, great music scene, great little shops, just a great vibe overall. lawrence—never change!

Being a left-winger from Los Angeles, Lawrence is a refreshing blast of progressive air in the middle of conservative Kansas. My boyfriend is from Paradise, Kansas, and his sister went to law school at KU (go Jayhawks!) and while visiting her I fell in love with Lawrence. It’s just so charming and has such a great history of maverick thinking. Everybody’s really nice too, but then again most Kansans are very nice, whether they like you or not. Shoot, we’ll probably end up there in old age, a couple of gay hippies running a llama farm or something, ha ha!

i wanted to go because my sister was living there but alas she has moved now i have no reason or motivation to go.

i got my first pair of birkenstocks and drank blue sky soda. i think I was eight.

I went here just this past August for the Bleeding Kansas Festival. I really loved Lawrence. It has a really neat downtown with cool shops, music venues, etc! Lawrence is kind of like an oasis in the Midwest.

The beginning of my homeless career…

OK, so maybe I’m biased because I grew up here since I was 10, but I think most people would agree that Lawrence is a nice town. Came from another town in Kansas so this was a big change for me at first. But Lawrence is truly a cosmopolitan place for Kansas. Lot’s of independent coffee shops, bookstores, and plenty of good live music (NY Times voted Lawrence “the most vital music scene between Chicago and Denver) But if you are really ultra-conservative or don’t appreciate different types of culture, then Lawrence is probably not a good place to visit.

This town is so different then anywhere else in Kansas. I love going there because its just a very charming town.

I think Lawrence, Kansas is a nice place to start out on the journey of life. Discover. Define. Refine. Move.
