2008 in Review and 2009's Forecast
It’s probably safe to say that 2008 will be one that history remembers, from the sub-prime mortgage crisis and the resulting market meltdown to Michael Phelps winning eight Olympic gold medals, from recession and record gas prices to the election of Barack Obama, the United States’ first African-American President. Whether we’re talking crisis or accomplishment, 2008 had some pretty big stories.

Tastes of University Hill
Back in the day (ancient times when Mike Ironside went to Loras), there were four bars on what can best be dubbed University Hill – Whiskey River, The Avenue Top (known to everyone as “The Ave”), Gomer’s, and the bar then known as the Barrel Tap and, later, Schrobie’s.
