Open spaces, quiet lifestyle prevail
North Lawrence atmosphere satisfies residents
By NED STAFFORD Staff Reporter
Thomas Jackson, 422 N. 9th st., has lived most of his 60 years in North Lawrence and remembers the flood of the Kansas River broke out of its banks.
"Water started filling the drainage ditches first and didn't stop until it reached halfway up the windows of the house next door." Jackson said.
Flood levees were built after that, which has overwhelmed the threat of flood waters.
"With the rains this spring it would have flooded again," Jackson said. "Since they built the levee it's made it a lot more pleasant here."
JACKSON IS ONE of 1,848 North Lawrence residents who like the small-town atmosphere of their part of Lawrence. They like the wide-open spaces, quiet lifestyle and the good soil for gardening.
Many people travel across the bridge to shop at the antique stores, vegetable stands or other unique shops North Lawrence has to offer.
But some North Lawrence residents think they are treated unfairly. They
complain of poor streets, late snow removal and the need for more sidewalks and convenience businesses, such as a coin-operated laundry.
"We don't get the same treatment as the big shea in Lawrence get," Jackson said.
JULIA BOND, 625 Elm St., president of the North Lawrence Improvement Association, agreed.
Bond said that the NLIA was working to improve the general welfare of North Lawrence. This includes the improvement of housing, education, and employment with the improvement of problems related to health, education and social and economic welfare.
But like most North Lawrence residents, she likes the part of town where the school is located.
"I like living in an area that isn't usel on Tempegsee Street," Bond said.
RICHARD HAMEL, 33, has lived at 422 Lincoln St. in North Lawrence with his wife, Nancy Sonnenschein, 28, for three years. They both attended KU and lived in Lawrence before married, but returned to the town upon a new atmosphere, lower housing prices and garden space in North Lawrence.
Hamel said he saw no reason to move back across the bridge.
ALTHOUGH IT'S JUST a short trip across the bridge, many North Lawrence residents do their grocery shopping on the sidewalk. Rusty's North Side, 608 N. 2nd St.
Wayne Pine, $3, manager of the store, said he thought most North Lawrence residents used the store. He said the store is one of the customers on a first-name basis.
"It's somewhat of a social gather-
ing," Pine said. "Many people see their
dancers."
Dan Callan, 25, has worked at the store as a checkout clerk for the last two years. He said he had gotten to know more people at Rusty's North Store, the would have of the warehouse a grocery store is another part of Lawrence.
THE LA TROPICANA Restaurant, 434 Lost St., a Mexican restaurant, and Johnny's Tavern, 401 N.2d st., are two businesses that are frequented by North Lawrence residents but are also popular with students and residents.
Jense Del Campo, owner of La Tropicana, closed the office and opened a new
bigger La Tropicana restaurant on West Street. He resploned the with crabmeat and seafood.
He said that he did this because he was losing money by allowing the old building to remain vacant and that many people wanted him to rope the building.
"A lot of people like the old building and the city in North Law-
der Campo"
"Now they get along great," Drake said.
During the school year, locals come in mostly during the day and students come at night, he said. A glance at the bar's jukebox will show music ranging from Margo Haggard and away Twity to Van Halen and the Rolling Stones.
Kevin Drake, 26, has managed Jimmy's Tavern since it came under new ownership four years ago. He said when students started going to the bar at that time there was some resentment from the locals.
The jukebox in Johnny's Tavern,
provides the mixture of new
and old, good and bad.
"I like North Lawrence," Thomas Jackson said. "You sort of get attached
Thomas Jackson, a North Lawrence resident, is happy with the open space around his house, which allows him to have a garden, but he said that his neighborhood did not allow him to live there.
