Penn State – Welcome Back!

Last week the students came flooding back to State College.  Within 48 hours our town doubles in size, swelling with cars and pedestrians its streets are not designed for.  Plastic rolling storage carts, cheap beige rugs, cork boards and junk food are purchased.  Bright eyed frat boy wannabes whiz through Wal-Mart with their big-haired mamas… Continue reading Penn State – Welcome Back!
