Lawrence woman walks every street in town on quest to see place
Janet Lawhorn a 74 year old retired teacher walks daily in Lawrence to cover every city street. She maps her route by orange highlights and notes east Lawrence streets are straighter than west Iowa Street. She began in October planning Scotland trip but continued walking after return, finding sidewalks decent and streets friendly to stray squirrels. She notes the town’s pace and people keep her sight on community, as she aims to finish by winter walking 3 to 4 miles per day for several days each week.
