Z beer brings taste to the table

By RICHARD STEHLI | Oct. 5, 2009

I recently had the opportunity to visit FoCo, and one of my main activities during my three-day stay was drinking beer. Chastise me all you want, but I'm no lush. Fort Collins has a population only slightly larger than that of Gainesville, but it hosts an astounding five craft breweries. Each has an impressive selection of both standards and seasonals, but only Fort Collins Brewery distributes to Gainesville (as far as I know). I spent a whole day biking from brewery to brewery; for considerably less expense, you can have a taste without leaving the city limits.

Free food shouldn't be stale

By Alyssa Lai | Oct. 5, 2009

While a college student appreciates anything complimentary, it certainly does not mean our standards of food are any lower than the average person. Last year, I remember walking on Turlington Plaza after my morning class and grabbing a free hot dog and soda, graciously provided by a local church. For a college student, anything that is not Ramen noodles or mac 'n cheese and is also free is as good as a New York strip steak.

Coverage of church excessive

By Danny Gordon | Oct. 5, 2009

I find the whole Dove World Outreach Center epidemic at this point to be rather overblown and played out. It is obvious that this church and its members are simply attention whores. In a seemingly slow news cycle, they have been able to attract and maintain the attention of media outlets such as the Alligator. I am all for free speech, but there comes a point where it is obvious these people are being used for a sensationalist purpose, and in doing so, it allows their message to spread, instead of allowing their passions to simply burn out and fade away into memory.
