Been There Drank That: Coffee Cup: Escape the bustle of Athens
Oct. 26, 2010When driving to Columbus from Athens, the most irritating part of the journey is always Nelsonville. That one time that you make it through the town without hitting any red lights becomes a time for great celebration. And when driving through Nelsonville, it's hard to miss the giant billboard sign advertising a little restaurant called the Coffee Cup Restaurant, with the tagline: A Great Place for Friends to Meet! Located at 615 W. Washington St., the Coffee Cup is the place to go for a throwback, family-centric, slow-paced cup of coffee. If Bob Evans hadn't gone commercial, the Coffee Cup is what it would be. Seriously, this is a place that you would expect to see featured on Guy Fieri's Food Network show Diner's, Drive-in's, and Dive's. Although, I've only had coffee and dessert there, I can't speak for the quality of their food, but I bet it's fantastic.

Post Letter: Intercollegiate Athletics creates student support, camaraderie
Oct. 25, 2010A student's college experience includes athletics, hands down. Unless you're at some special technological school, athletics is part of the deal. We're on the O-Zone Board and get a ton of e-mails every single day about upcoming athletic events, so we know and see firsthand that students really do care about Intercollegiate Athletics and that it's important to them. Students don't want to wake up on Saturdays and go watch an intramural sports game. No one tunes in to ESPN every weekend to see what highly anticipated intramural football game is going to be on. Students go to sporting events to cheer on the players and support their school and feel a sense of belonging. We love looking up at the games and seeing everyone in their green and white. It's what school spirit is all about and it's what athletics brings. By taking away these athletic events, you are taking away an outlet for students.

Since I am the president of the women's Democratic Club, she was asking for a spot at a meeting to introduce herself to the members. Linda won the primary.
