    There's this one mural of him you see everywhere, he does a t pose lol I think it might have some historical significance but as I kid I always thought it looked funny. Also Lawrence has a whole identity wrapped around being launch pad for the 'Free State', but I hear it's mainly just a bunch of drunk college kids and suburban sprawl now.

      Haha yeah I was in Lawrence for ~8 years for school and there are a lot of drunk college kids (I was one), but it’s still the most left city in the entire state by far. Mostly hippy types but they’re better than the chuds!

      This is probably the pic you’re thinking of:

        Thats the one! Yeah Lawrence is crazy you can find some of the whitest most petite bougie crackers to commies tatted up to their ears, both born and raised from there. Sooooo many hippies, such contrast to the other cities and rural obviously, though homesteader types are sprinkled throughout the Northeast.

          Yeah thankfully most of the bougie people are at least extremely progressive socially. It’s a very special place
