The Journal-World is once again accepting submissions to the Dear Lawrence community photo project. The popular project was introduced last year, and Lawrence residents, Kansas University alumni and others submitted more than 100 photos.
The premise is simple: Take a picture of someone holding a photo of an old Lawrence scene or locale in front of that location today. Many of last year’s submissions were of former KU students, old friends at businesses that are no longer around or families enjoying life at their homes.
The photos will be added to the existing photo gallery.

I'm still trying to get the picture of weirdo with the dolls out of my mind. It's burned in. Please no more Lawrence "characters".

I have a picture of a nut. I'm trying to decide if I should hold the photo up in the nut aisle at the grocery store. I could use Bert Nash or put the timer on the camera and shoot myself. I've not noticed a nut factory in Lawrence so I'm confused on how the nut got here in the first place.

Jack, his name is Dennis, and I see his little ? Girl has grown into a full blown woman now. He still has to carry her wherever they go. But, I remember when she was just a little plastic thing. That would make a great photo of then and Now!!
