“Is that a rocket in your park, or are you just glad to see me?” - The missile that stands in Centennial Park is a Polaris A-1, and it was given to the city by the US Navy in 1964. When it was presented to the public, it was said to be the only Polaris missile display not associated with a military base. To be fair, though, most of the rest at that time were still on nuclear attack submarines. The Navy had only begun working on ballistic missiles in 1956, and the Polaris A-1 was first test fired in 1960. The A-1 was essentially a prototype and the Navy quickly replaced the first model with a more advanced version. Our particular missile was no more than four years old when it was given to Lawrence. https://www.truelawrence.com/blog/i-can-see-oskaloosa-from-here-lawrence-phone-tower monthly 0.5 2023-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640cba43e5c347631156a7d8/43f0e6ff-49ff-4735-b894-4ad0c4c357ff/Final_Design_Bell_Telephone_Tower_Downtown_Lawrence_KS.jpg true Lawrence blog - “I can see Oskaloosa from here!” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640cba43e5c347631156a7d8/fcf929ba-7b08-400b-ac96-69a7132f90fe/tumblr_inline_p7fzla7aU01towiy8_500.jpg true Lawrence blog - “I can see Oskaloosa from here!” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640cba43e5c347631156a7d8/6a2da715-405a-4b07-ace8-15e06ac6d854/IMG_2720.jpg true Lawrence blog - “I can see Oskaloosa from here!” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/640cba43e5c347631156a7d8/7280eb1f-3af3-4b34-85c6-68a791edbd7e/Original_Bell_Telephone_Tower_Downtown_Lawrence_KS.jpg true Lawrence blog - “I can see Oskaloosa from here!” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.truelawrence.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-03-18 https://www.truelawrence.com/about daily 0.75 2023-03-17 https://www.truelawrence.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2025-06-10
