The dust from construction has not settled yet, but the Lawrence Riverfront Plaza Factory Outlet Center opened its Friday for a two-hour preview.

Although much of the building's interior remains unfinished and only a few tenants have moved in, visitors said they were pleased with the plaza.
"The mall looks a lot better than a bunch of free-standing shops," said Donna Belcher of Lawrence.
While incoming businesses are still surveying their vacant floor space and moving in boxes of merchandise, "coming soon" signs are in storefronts, announcing which retailers will be setting up shop.
All of the businesses are factory outlet stores, which typically sell name-brand goods for 40 to 60 percent less than retail prices, said David Longhurst, plaza manager.
About 30 of the plaza's 55 storefronts have been rented. Stores that have signed leases to move into the plaza include: Van Heen menswear, Jonathan Logan, Enro Darnon shirt company, Adolfo II, Leather Loft, Jones New York, Jind Furs, Maldenform, Harve Benard, Peruvian Connection (now at 600 Lawrence Ave.), I.B. Diffusion and Toy Liquidators.
Also leasing are The Housewares Store, Fieldcrest-Cannon, the Brass Factory, Oneiida Silver, Cape Isle Knitters, Aileen Ladies Sportwear, Westport Ltd., Biltwell Clothing Co., Banister Shoe Co., The Wallet Works, Fragrance World, Bass Shoe Outlet, The Jewelry Source, Leggs Hanes Ball, Corning-Revere, American Tourist Luggage, The Paper Factory
and the Ribbon Outlet.
The plaza also has a food court and a storefront theater that will show children's programs on Saturdays and Sundays.
"Of course, there have been hitches along the way," he said. "But things have gone very well. We are where we wanted to be at this time."
Longhurst said he expected 70 percent of the plaza's tenants to move in before the April 27 grand opening.
Alice Fowler of Lawrence said she had heard so much about the plaza during the last two years that she decided to take a peek last Friday.
The plaza will open to the public Friday to give retailers an opportunity to smooth out their operations before the formal opening. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for April 12.
"I'm surprised by how nice it is," she said. "I'm not sure yet if I'll be shopping here, but there certainly is a variety."
Group will visit W. Germany in June
By Kathryn Lancaster
Kansan staff writer
A delegation that will represent the University of Kansas and Lawrence in Eutin, West Germany, this summer, met yesterday to discuss plans for its coming trip.
The group will spend one week in June touring Eutin and meeting civic leaders, reciprocating a similar visit. Eutin representatives in October.
and German instructors.
About 24 people have expressed interest in the Eutin journey, said Frank Baron, KU professor of German. The June 18 visit will be the first made by Lawrence representatives since a sister-city agreement was signed in October.
William Keel, associate professor of German, said the sister-city relationship stemmed from a 24-year KU Study Abroad program in Eutin, which has no university. College students study with U.S. professors
The ties binding the two communities are expanding into the school systems, arts programs and commercial institutions. Keel said.
This summer, six Lawrence High School students will spend six weeks in Eutin, attending school and living with families. In September, Eutin students will attend school in Lawrence.
Anne Evans, director of the Lawrence Arts Center, said she would try to establish direct artistic performances, exhibits and residencies.
Marilyn Clark, KU reference librarian, said she was interested in helping Eutin display a collection of rare books and manuscripts dating from the 13th century. Because the library in Eutin is understaffed, the collection, which includes classics and travel books, has never been displayed.
Group members or their sponsors will pay individual travel expenses, Baron said. The University will not sponsor KU representatives.
The three city officials interested in the trip, Mayor Bob Schumm and commissioners Mike Rundle and Bob Walters, hope to be reimbursed by the city for their travel arrangements.
At last week's commission meeting, commissioners discussed spending no more than $150 million or on tomorrow's commission agenda in dublin trip is on tomorrow's commission agenda.
Faye Watson, a delegation member, reported yesterday that transportation costs would total $1,104.50 a person.
The five people representing the University are: Baron; Bunker Clark, professor of music; Marilyn Clark; Sandra Schumm, teaching assistant in Spanish and Portuguese; and George Woodyard, dean of international studies.
