These are images of downtown Lawrence, KS. This is my
hometown, and I am completely in love with it. It is full of history everywhere
you turn. I remember Mr. Boeck talking on several occasions about how the area needs
to fit together, and somewhat match. I am amazed at how well Lawrence has preserved
its history and true identity in this area. Defended by John Brown during
Quantrill’s raid, this area was burned down and many of the buildings rebuilt
are the ones seen, still standing today. Although many commercial business and restaurants
are now located here, they have still managed to keep the street very aesthetically
pleasing. I believe this is one of the most sustainable spots I have been to,
not because it is energy efficient (which I’m almost positive it’s not at all),
but because it has been able to withstand history and will continue to do so
far into the future.
