Life In Lawrence IN 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2015) This gal here was born and raised in Lawrence, Indiana and now I am happily raising my own daughter here. This city is an amazing place to live. There are so many bonuses about living here that make me know that, without a doubt, I will never leave.

The best thing about living ...Read More in Lawrence is the fact that it is the perfect place to raise children. This city is so safe and has some of the top rated schools in the country. I know that my children are safe, happy and healthy because I provide them with an excellent place to call home. There is so much to do here and so many ways that we can keep busy on the weekends but it is also quite on week nights. We aren't interested in a place that has too much hustle and bustle; we would prefer silence and hearing the crickets on a warm summer Monday night. This is why Lawrence is the perfect place for my family.

As for things to do here, we are never board in this city. My husband and I prefer activities that will get our blood pumping and our adrenaline rushing. Some of the fun activities we spend our weekends doing include skydiving and parachuting flying. What is more amazing that those two activities? If you're looking for other awesome, similar activities in the area then you should definitely try out zip lining, paint balling or having an art party. There are so many different, creative ways to spend your time here.

After you complete any of these awesome activities, you are sure to want some great food to munch on. Luckily, Lawrence has so many excellent options. Whether you're looking for casual grilling, fine dining with steaks, seafood and wine or something quick and simple, you'll certainly find it here. Read Less
