Lawrence KS’s finest moment was being incinerated in “The Day After” in 1983... they never should have rebuilt.
They were first incinerated back in the Civil War by Quantrill’s raiders.
Back in the 1960s they were the choice for an atheist university by Madeline Murray O’Hair, because it was so liberal. I believe it was never built.
thought that was the town in the movie.
The movie Ride with the Devil was filmed in part there - the part about Quantrill’s Raid. My son was an extra. He had to cut his hair and shave to be a union soldier. Made me happy.
