As two people who do not own cars, Kelci and I have a special appreciation for the pedestrian culture of small, centrally located shops that exists - though it always seems threatened by incoming franchise in downtown Lawrence. From grocery to books to entertainment, we're able to get almost everything we need and want within a few miles of campus and home. Lawrence's "walkability" grants us an independence from automobiles that's a privilege not present in many American cities. Sure, it sucks sometimes (mainly on rainy days), but, given circumstances, we consider ourselves lucky to live where we do. Check out Tanner's photo essay on Terrebonne, a little corner of Cajun flavor and personality, on page 8. Perhaps you'll find a homey new hangout of your own among the shops, cateries and venues that populate downtown — or at least an appreciation for the characters who make them great. But the appeal of downtown businesses isn't just the convenience. No, the real charm of restaurants such as Terrebonne, 805 Vermont St., and the myriad other local businesses in Lawrence is their character.
