    "Lawrence is a nice place to raise a family. Great country setting. Many old farms being brought back by Amish. Many horses in the area. Vanburen fair is close nice summer activity. Ox Rost is a nice family outing. Great paride. many nice lakes and a great park in Lawrence also nice farmers market in park. "
  • Mandy D.
    "most people around us have farms so dogs stay in their own yards. People walk our road alot in the summer but always have them on a leash. our road can be busy and cars go way to fast. The dog owners in our neighborhood seem to take this in account so they walk them on a leash. The thing is we have no side walks being in the country so when you are walking your dog you must get off the road but all in all it's a great place to have animals. "
  • Darrell K.
    "Lawrence is one of the most friendly communities I have ever lived in. Good schools, clean caring people."
