Coming soon: The Weekly Nosh!

We all eat, why not make something out of it? Drum roll, please: I’m excited to announce that, starting this week, I will be writing a weekly food column for the FSView called The Weekly Nosh.

Basically, my concept is to highlight restaurants and eateries around Tallahassee that are student-friendly, both in price and [to a lesser extent] location, but serve good, quality, tasty food. Yes, we all know the staples, and to some extent I’ll delve in-depth into those places, but what I really want to uncover are the hidden gems that fill my tummy and keep my wallet fat, too.

This project is something that I’ve been wanting to do since I hopped on board with the paper last summer, but for some reason or another, things only just now fell into place. I’ll be posting the reviews here as they are written, and I hope that you will all follow along with me as I branch out into this somewhat unknown territory.

If anyone has a restaurant in Tallahassee that you think others need to know about, drop me a line. I’m always listening.

Cheers,
Zach

P.S.: Stay tuned for a snazzy new logo to accompany the column!

Update on SB 2442 !

Apparently Evelyn Lynn has come to her non orange-and-blue senses. After the introduction of her brainchild SB 2442 stirred some strong responses in those outside of the highly esteemed Gator Nation, she changed the wording of her bill to allow FSU and USF to be included as potential candidates of flagship institutions

Seems like a ploy to get us to shut up to me. The bottom line is that even if all three universities get flagship status, there are still eight instutions that will get the shaft end of this bill. I believe that universities such as New College and UCF deserve to have the resources needed to fufill their expectations as places of learning and academic development. 

What this bill seems like is an excuse to be able to cut funding from the entire system, with the illusion of increasing it for the universities that some politicians consider “the most important.” Maybe a bill that gives the name flagship to certain large research universities but also increases funding and promotes shared resources for all institutions is what we need.

But god forbid we spend more on education than we absoutely have to in order to give the illusion that students in our state are actually learning.
