It’s hard to imagine a Lawrence without this couple

April 23, 2020

Can you imagine a Lawrence without the historic Eldridge Hotel? How about a Lawrence without the annual Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade or Gingerbread Festival? Well, thanks to Lawrence power couple Rob and Beverly Phillips we don’t have to. We can also thank them for the lovely retreat and event venue that is Victorian Veranda Country Inn Read More …

It was a sobering call. My co-worker Kim was facilitating a Zoom meeting for the Lawrence Restaurant Association.

The sleepy summer town is waking up, you guys! I know, I know-some of you really like your quiet Lawrence time. I don’t blame you. But I for one love experiencing the ebb and flow of energy this town has to offer all throughout the year. The students are back, yes, but with them comes Read More …

Sometimes, you have a craving that a savory bite just won’t satisfy. You want creamy and cool, or perhaps warm and spicy. You want a little crunch, a little melt-in-your-mouth, a little sweetness.
