The Lawrence Kansas Monthly Blog

   The Day Of My Life In Lawrence Part 2 When I was a kid, I got the time and met new friends here in Lawrence. Back in the day, I met a friend named Elizabeth Tally at the Children’s Center at 1000 Sunnyside Avenue in the University of Kansas.

When I grew up here in Lawrence, I had a great life here. My family and I lived here. At first, we lived at 826 Missouri St. In case you know, that was the ‘Flintstone’ house. And it was fun. I played outside in the front yard, played in the backyard of the house, watched Disneyland Fun on the VCR, watched public television, Sesame Street, read some Dr. Seuss books, read Little Critter books, and chilled in my bedroom listening to Greg...

  Hello there, folks from back home. This is the start of a new monthly blog that I’ll be working on. Once every month, I will write about all things Lawrence, some new ideas [murals, concerts, events, etc.], and so much more. And after all, this is a brand new kind of blog in a different kind of way. So here’s the scoop. I’m gonna begin my first Lawrence blog with something fresh starting with some daily reviews on places I visit, do a top five of local events, talk about some new ideas for inside Riverfront Plaza, and some ideas for new murals for downtown. I’m also gonna discuss future jobs at places here in downtown and where to work at next when the time comes. Plus for other upcoming blog entries, I can also talk about the times I lived here and where I go to school for. More coming soon. Stay tuned for more blog entries and updates on upcoming Lawrence stories. This upcoming monthly blog is dedicated to all my friends who live here in the sunflower state, including Stephanie...
