| 84. That sounds like something they'd do. |

Oddest town. I really miss Shake 'n' Grinder, though. Best chicken salad sandwiches anywhere.
I do miss the peach orchard to the south of town and the chinese place (actually pretty good) and Kenyon's bookstore. Other than that, I wouldn't say that I missed it all that much. The Naz isn't a college I'd recommend--very weird and mostly sick place.
