Lawrence, Kansas is a small beautiful
town in the western outskirt of Kansas City and 245 miles east from
Geographic Center of US, Lebanon, Kansas. The sixth largest city in
the state of Kansas with the population about 90,000, the double size
of Carbondale, IL. It was probably the worst time of the year to be
at Kansas in the early January of 2013. It was my first job!
The iconic legendary of basketball,
Naismith and University of Kansas makes Lawrence, the beautiful
University town. The downtown spans across north to south that
looks ancient in the flanks of Massachusset street. The Indian
Palace at MA, the Chinese buffet at 23rd street , Chillis
at Iowa street along with dozens of restaurants in the downtown
street makes the place lively to eat and amazes the culinary interest
of the resident of Lawrence.The 23rd west street drives
all the way towards the beautiful national park and a majestic
Clinton lake.
The other day we explored one of the
downtown bar of lawrence where the young students were chilling in
the weekend. Like most university towns, the crowd is young and vibe
, the town looks inherently sporty with each bars and restaurants
showing the legacy of the town, the basketball.
The other remarkable day in lawrence KS
was watching the young students show in the of public schools of
Kansas. It was a truly artistic performance of kids. We also
visited Kansas City, that lies in the border of Missouri and Kansas
city looks even more amazing and intrinsically antique. With the
horses and chariot to ride,the city looks like an ancient european
town.
However, the geography makes the
Kansas inherently flat. The shrubs along with small trees and the
flat land makes the place, aesthetically different and away from
nature. The gigantic clinton lake and the national park gives some
natural feelings. After living two years in Carbondale , IL where I
was seeing lot of greenish and water bodies -Lakes, I missed nature
a lot beside missing the majestic himalayas and terrains of
Kathmandu, Nepal
The trip to Humboldt Kansas to visit my
niece used to be fantastic open-wide roads with few traffic passing
by. As you move more towards the south, the land is even more flat
and you feel you are leaving the nature further away, perhaps miles
and miles away.
Th company was small and perhaps the
historic in a sense that it was my first job in US. My manager was
absolutely awesome guy. The team was excellent. However, I decided to
move to the Louisville , KY after living for in Lawrence, KS for 150
days. I knew it was little early but I have to move on in search of
destiny – sometimes you never know that and the fate of time will
decide about your decision. Thanks Lawrence, KS, you showed me the
way ;) and the same L is hunting me again.......Louisville now. I am
excited with the greeneries of Louisville!!, I know the lust for
Kentucky Fried Chicken will never remain the same. See me in
Louisville, KY!
