Things To Do:
Lawrence is rich in history, full of quirks and charms, and overflowing with arts, culture, academia, sports, and music. Many unique characteristics draw people from all over the world visit, learn, and live here. Lawrence is a blend of casual Midwest kindness and proud, liberal tendencies. The streets running north and south are named after the states in the order they were admitted into the union, and it takes no time at all to remember which are which. Massachusetts Street was selected to be the main drag as a nod to the original settlers that came from Massachusetts. Today, Mass St. is line with boutiques, bistros, bookstores, coffee shops, restaurants and live music venues. Friday night sees the street abuzz with students, visiting parents, families and basketball fanatics. Take Saturday afternoon to walk up and down both sides of the street-stopping for lunch and then dinner, of course.
The University of Kansas is known for it’s beautiful campus on the hill that not only includes academic buildings, but also the Museum of Natural History and the Spencer Art Museum. If you’re lucky, you can score tickets to see the legendary Jayhawks basketball team play in Allen Fieldhouse, the loudest college basketball arena in the country.
