Late Valentine's Day at the Symposium
Today, jackdaws and magpies, the sages have gathered, to talk about love. To talk about love cut through with time. Crippled with the burden of the clocks of our ancestors, we stagger around in the daytimes, and maybe post some chocolates to the dorm next door by the tilting-upward of the next due dawn. In short: we know that we need it. And we don't know how to get it. Or, more specifically—when we don't know just when the getting's good.

There was a used bookstore, but all these food options are agreeable!
"We have dunkin donuts.."
"That's not a coffee shop."
"Don't we have a Chinese place?"
"Dude..."
I also love the foot. <3

I wish that before people blasted the Co-op for being too expensive, they did a price comparison between it and Genuardi's. There are certainly things that are more expensive (produce, for example), but it's priced competitively for many essentials (milk, flour, sugar), and it's locally owned!
Since food prices have increased recently, I think the Gazette should do another article comparing the nearby grocery options, to help students get over their knee-jerk reaction to the Co-op.

If the ville had a drug store/pharmacy, like a CVS or something, all would be good.

These short little video 'reporting' clips are by far the best thing ever.
