Downtown street pulse of Lawrence

Shopping, eating and bar-hopping are all part of what makes up one of Lawrence's finest attractions-a street just known as Mass.
just known as Mass. Massachusetts Street, located downtown, has become the "Rodeo Drive" of Lawrence.
Lawrence. "The first time I ever came to Mass. Street was my senior year of high school," said Anna Daniels, Parsons junior. "I came with my friends for Crimson and Blue day. We skipped out on the activities and headed down to Mass. I was overwhelmed by the uniqueness that Mass. Street had to offer."
Shopping is one of Massachusetts Street's biggest outlets for the public.
"Mass. Street has the best collection of unique stores," said Annie Graham, Hutchinson sophomore. "You can find everything from rubber pants to artichoke dip and French films."
Dining is another feature that Mass has to offer. Restaurants on Massachusetts Street seem to veer away from the typical sit-down dining atmosphere inside.

"On Mom's Day for my fraternity, I went to Massachusetts Street Delicatessen and ate outside with my mom and grandma," said Chris Vetter, Shawnee sophomore. "It was a very
pleasant environment, and I enjoyed seeing all the different types of people walk by."
Dining outdoors is not the only change from the norm that Massachusetts offers. It also provides opportunities and choices that are healthier alternatives. Juice Stop, 812 Massachusetts St., provides quick, healthy snacks for on-the-go students.
"The Juice Stop is a fast and easy nutritious meal as an alternative to another fast-food restaurant such as McDonald's," said LeAnn VanMol, Bonner Springs sophomore.
There are also bars located on Massachusetts Street. Bars such as Louise's Bar Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St., and Brown Bear Brewery, 729 Massachusetts St., provide entertainment and a social atmosphere for those older than 21.

Ghoulish number of parties for students during weekend
By Augustus Anthony Plazza Kansan staff writer
For students who haven't received a Halloween party invitation yet, there are still many places to go to celebrate the weekend.
Holiday Inn Holdome, 200 McDonald Drive, and Hi-Jinx Lunge, 1115 1/2 Massachusetts St., are two places where students can go to take part in Halloween festivities.
The International Student Association is having a Halloween party at the Holiday Inn Holidome, and there will be a gothic industrial music dance party called "Dreamatorium" at the Hi-Jinx Lounge. The ISA party will take place in the Brazilian Room at the Holiday Inn from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. tonight, and "Dreamatorium" will take place from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday night.
The Halloween party is an event that ISA organizes each year.
ISA organizes 400 people attended. Organizers are expecting 400 to 500 people this year.
The lineup for "Dreamatiorium"
includes Schloss Teagle, an electronic
band from Lawrence that has played in many European clubs; Detmold Jugernaut, who will play dark ambient industrial music; and Deejay Ray Velasquez, who will play gothic industrial music and classic gothic music from the 1980s.

Velasquez said dark gothic electronica music was not a genre but a feeling that was experienced. He described the music as having a drum and bass sound.

this weekend.
Vladimir Sinkov, International Student Association president, said the reason ISA was having the event on Friday night was to allow students to do what they wanted on Halloween night.
"I haven't even given that a thought," he said. "People who dig it will come out."
