Yeah, I know. My mom ended up visiting there a while back (not the most pleasant circumstances, admittedly: she was attending the murder trial of a friend of hers). She thought the town was really neat and insisted on making a detour on a road trip so that my brother and I could see it.
We drove by the KU campus... it was gorgeous. We also checked out the Tea Castle (normally you can't just go in - you have to have a tour or be with a group that's there, but it was right before a group got there and the receptionist let us take a peak around). There were coffee shops, bookstores, and good restaurants everywhere... I was very pleased. ^-^
