Downtown Lawrence, in particular Massachusetts Street, has a lively atmosphere and is filled with restaurants, bars, galleries, shops and music venues.

The Bowersock Dam provides hydropower to riverfront businesses like the Lawrence Journal-World. The city is also home to the Gaslight Tavern.

The University of Kansas campus is home to many museums, including the KU Natural History Museum and the Spencer Museum of Art. The Robert J.
