    College town but very family friendly.

    Great downtown.

    Liberal (lots of hippy democrats .. and i say that in the nicest way possible.;)

    I really can't say if it has an exciting night life or brings in a lot of highend entertainment but Kansas City is only about 45 minutes away.

    All I know about Lawrence is that it is undoubtedly the most "hippy-like" and progressive part of Kansas. Don't know if that's necessarily saying much though, LOL.

    I have an old aquaintance from Lawrence who ended up being seduced by the man who drove an ice cream truck in her neighborhood (she was a teenager, he was in his 20s.) Two kids, a divorce and many years later she finally realized he was a total loser. ;-)

    So uh, yeah. Sorry. Whenever I think of Lawrence all I can think about are greasy, stinky, creepy ice cream truck operators driving slowly down the road with their music chiming along, trolling for saucy and rebellious teens. Nice image, eh?

    possible relocation ( so random...)

    IDK....

    the H told me to do some research today and see what I think...

    I am so urban it hurts- but I am itching for change and peaceful place to raise these kids I keep having...

    well..like the Boulder of the Plains?

    I might be into that...

    (I'll avoid Ice cream men- ever since the movie, I've been wary!)

     

    thanks guys! I am open to anything I think. I like the sound of the most liberal part of kansas! (lol)

    I went to visit friends at the school a long long time ago... i thought it was hilly and lush and quite beautiful.

    But don't know about the culture...my guess is it's prob okay given it's a college town.

    Cute town, fairly liberal, good college town. I like  visiting but I did not love the time I lived there (streets are too small for the amount of traffic, schools are hit or miss). If you live in West Lawrence, good schools not as congested. It is a good place to raise a family but I don't think it is for everyone.

     "Other than KU, there's not much happening there". a quote from my cousin who lives in Lawrence.

    I now live about 30 min away, but I used to live in Lawrence for 2 yrs before that.  It's a fun town!  Housing costs are pretty high though compared to where I am now.

    If you want a waaayy cooler college town, come to Columbia, MO. Jayhawks suck.
