Lawrence Sesquicentennial May 30 – September 19th

The Lawrence Sesquicentennial celebration is upon us:


http://www.lawrence150.org/

Now for some literary criticism: "We invite you to participate in as many ways as you can think of while Lawrence celebrates 150 years of excellence."

"Excellence"? Oh for gawd's sake, what's with this "excellence" business? Couldn't they get a non-business person to write their text? Sheesh.
