 Dispensing with the journalistic portion of the column first, this week’s venue of choice was The Jazzhaus, located @ 926 1/2 Massachusetts St. That's correct, it is an upstairs club. The Kahuna that helped me out at this venue was Brett Pitner. Brett is the Night GM and he claims Long Beach, CA as his hometown, prefers Crown & Coke, listens to Rock & Roll, and if he's not spending time at The Jazzhaus, he would be spending it at The Red Lyon.
I have yet to visit a venue in Lawrence that gave me such an immediate sense of de ja vu all over again as the Jazzhaus. The upstairs climb, the narrow passage to the club, the neatly arranged small circular tables, the variety of "torsos" hanging on the walls around the club, and the clientele encountered while there, all shouted "The Wharf" in my subconscious. |

 In every college town, there is a large number of pizzerias from which you can choose your favorite. In the spirit of exploration for both mind and taste buds, I’ve decided to devote some select columns to various pizzerias in Lawrence. Join me on this exploration of the Pizza Experiences that Lawrence has to offer!
My journey starts with a fun place at 704 Massachusetts in downtown Lawrence called Rudy’s Pizzeria. What a great place to start! |

Today is a day that we celebrate and remember Martin Luther King, Jr. As I sit here and contemplate what he meant to our country, I also wonder what he would think about today's world, seen through his vision of the past. Would he have believed that his March on Washington in 1963 would lead to an African American man becoming President of the United States in less then 50 years? |
