Hey trendsetters! Found this link on msn.com today:
According to a new article on The Daily Meal website, they consider Lawrence to be the "Brooklyn" of Kansas...
"A quirky town full of Midwestern charm and full to the fedora brim with a rich culture of arts, music, sports, and more, Lawrence benefits from being home to both the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University. Check out Lawrence Busker Fest, a huge gathering of street performers, or come for the Free State Festival, an arts and film festival, or the Haskell Indian Art Market. There are also plenty of hipster-friendly hideouts like The Bourgeois Pig, a popular coffeehouse and bar."
Of course, I'd take this with a large grain of (pink Himalayan) salt...the same article calls Westport the "Brooklyn" of Missouri.
