The Lawrence Kansas Monthly Blog

  For the first time in Kansas history, my family and I got to go to the place where the carnival and farm is located. Three words: The Douglas County Fair Located at 2120 Harper St. We had a lot of fun at the fair together when I was a kid. I went there to try the carnival rides, played games, and had some food there. There’s even a funhouse with mirrors in them. I even got to go on the Fun Slide. When I go on, I get to the top of the slide and I imagine like I’m going down the hill on a sled or perhaps going down the water slide by the pool. The next ride I went on to was the Top Gun. When I got on, I was feeling my heart beat. And when the ride went on, I was screaming for my life while the ride was spinning counter clockwise. Boy was I thrilled! Another ride the I went on to was the Zendar ride. This ride was really making me dizzy, I couldn’t get outta here. I was trapped like I was set on hyperdrive. Well, at least I had a great time there. My hands were shaking a bit due to the

  Think I’ll go see a movie this summer. The movies are the best place to go to at anytime. So I have yet another idea for my next summer plans in Lawrence. Get this… I remember the time from back in the day when Rachel Unruh and I went to a movie together. It was a classic family movie at a local movie theater in Lawrence Kansas. That place was Plaza 6 Theaters at 2339 Iowa St. It used to be located there in Lawrence, and now it’s the Total Fitness Center. We used to go there for the summer and we got to see some family-friendly flicks of any kind. Here’s what the location of the theater used to be: That was the location the closest next to Sears. And suddenly it closed in the month of August 2001. I’ll never forget the time I went there for the summer for those movie hits. It was a great place to see a movie every summer. In case you didn’t know on that one, it showed the hottest movies in the Midwest all summer long. And another name for Plaza 6 was also Dickinson Cinema 6. Another

  Okay. Before I start this blog, I wanna tell you my story about how I worked somewhere in Lawrence. Ever since, I got a job in Lawrence Kansas, I wanted to do the one thing I always do. When I go to work every week, I save up a lot of money. It all started when I was a student here at Free State High School and I worked at the cafeteria for dishwashing and clean up duty. I also got to work at the laundry room with Mrs. Moore when I got the chance to wash towels and fold them when they’re dry. I got along with the people here at Free State. My second job was at a radio station at 3125 W 6th St. It was originally Lazer 105.9, but now it’s 105.9 KISS-FM. I did some filing, worked on the computer, and volunteered too. I even got to meet Chris Merrill of ‘Merrill In The Morning’ one time. My next job was at Westlake Hardware at 711 W 23rd St. I swept the floor from inside and outside the store, watered plants, and sorted the hardware products. Then, I got to work here at KU , and it was a
