The cosmopolitan community here thrives on its uniqueness and exudes its vibrance through the many groups that bring Lawrence to life. Community events share sights and sounds as widespread as the backgrounds of the people who organize them. There are naturalists relishing the unscathed countryside. Artists and musicians seem ubiquitous.
Intellectuals lead drama productions and poetry readings.
Jawhawk fans make their pilgrimage to KU whenever they can. Local athletes practice and compete in sports ranging from sailing to judo. And the social activists always have their say. If you are from Lawrence, you have hopefully encountered some of the joie de vivre here mentioned. But there are always new people to meet and interesting pastimes to experience.
