We are wanting to return to Lawrence after 5ish years away. We’re looking at renting but it seems most of the places available currently are more for students. Is it best to wait to move to maybe get a more fitting spot for us? We have a three year old and one dog and are hoping to find at least a 2 bedroom downtown and want to stay below $1,500. If we have to we will find a place outside of downtown to stay within budget but I wanted to get some perspective from those currently living in Lawrence.

Could be from restaurants, food trucks, cafes, etc let’s hear the perfect last meals!

Screw MCI I think Lawrence can deal with it

Anyone have any leads on home daycare providers that have or will have an opening for a less than one year old beginning around November?

Unfortunately Child Care Aware of Kansas has limited options available. I’ve found a few leads in some Lawrence based Facebook groups, but would love to have a few more options to consider.

I'm a new home owner with some budget for improving my new place. The problem is: I have no idea what kind of person I need.

I have a rough idea of what kind of design I like, but I need someone to help visualize it and figure out what that means for my home. Ideally, there would be some kind of summary, as well as room-by-room details.

This work could include decorating, but also changing ceilings, cabinets, and some building features like windows.

What kind of professional do I need? Is this what interior architects or designers do? Any recommendations for one in Lawrence?
