'Footloose' remake compares to 1984 classic
(10/17/11 12:15am)
When word let out that a "Footloose" remake was in progress, I was highly skeptical. Since its original 1984 release, "Footloose" has become a classic teen dance film, defining the genre and setting an example for subsequent films, such as "Save the Last Dance" and "Step Up." The idea of modernizing a cornerstone of '80s filmdom made me cringe. Yet, curiosity compelled me to investigate what could have been a defaming of one of my favorite teen movies.

However, nestled on the corner of Southwest Main Street and Sixth Avenue is a large hanger-like structure that hosts a hidden gem. The steel-paneled building blends so effortlessly into the scenery that the uninformed restaurant diner might miss the swanky establishment altogether. The Warehouse Restaurant & Lounge conceals a sophisticated array of cuisine that effectively entices those with keens eyes and empty stomachs.

Graduation style
(04/20/11 8:43pm)
The spring semester is finally coming to an end, and I can’t help counting down the days — scratch that — hours until I take my last final exam. And when I say last final exam, I don’t mean my last exam before the next semester begins. I mean my last final exam ever. It’s only a matter of 11 days — 264 hours — until I’m lying on the beach without a care in the world. But before I can get to tanning and job applications (I’ve always been good at multitasking, I should add that to my resume), I have to get through two final exams and a final project. With all of this school work keeping me busy, I haven’t had time to worry about what really matters: What am I going to wear to graduation?
