Lawrence is a university city with about 100,000 year-round residents. It's the birthplace of basketball, too.

Here's the entrance to a used record store where I bought a Candelbox and three Tom Petty CDs. That store and several others lure in customers with resident kitties adopted from the local no-kill shelter.

The downtown area has seen a few businesses close during the past year — among them a drug store (not pictured) that had been locally run more than 100 years.
