Massachusetts Street

Reviewed By Toyota1994 - Chicago, United States

Massachusetts Street is basically the Downtown in Lawrence. It is a lively and beautiful street teeming with a variety of retail businesses. In fact, there are two brewery restaurants well worth the visit. Just one block west is the wonderful library, a modern architectural design not to be missed. Then there is the South Park, a beautiful community park with a lovely garden. The Kansas River Levee trail is not too far from Massachusetts; it is a nice place to walk and enjoy the expansive views of the river if it is not a hot day. All in all, Massachusetts Street is an enjoyable downtown area for leisurely walk, shopping and food.

Lied Center Lobby

Reviewed By Kevsrose - Kansas City, United States

We attended The Haygoods Christmas Show 12/13/2019. This was our first visit to the Lied Center. It was easy to find, had plenty of parking, and was well-maintained inside and out. The shining star of this place is the staff. Simply outstanding!!! Every single staff member we encountered greeted us with a warm, friendly smile. Made us feel right at home. We heard there were over 1,500 in attendance. I was amazed at how quickly the theater cleared...plenty of room for this mass to move around. The seats are pretty comfortable. I would say it's better to sit in the center section for the best stage view. We were on a side and couldn't see everything clearly for the particular show. #kudos to the staff #teamhaygood @thehaygoods Thank you for a wonderful evening!!
