Scene
Stepping Out: O’Connell’s
O’Connell’s Pub was not what my fellow foodie friend and I were hoping for. Usually when I insist on going to a restaurant together, it’s ethnic; it’s extravagant; it’s chic. This time we drove around for 40 minutes and got lost, all for a small Irish pub with dark walls and a gruff sensibility.
The ‘Turkey Drop’ (and how to survive it)
It’s that time of year again—red leaves crunching under your shoes, the smell of cider in the air, football on TV, and college students all over the country getting dumped. That’s right kids—it’s almost Thanksgiving break, and that means only one thing: It’s Turkey Drop season.
Holiday travel: Cheap international vacations
Have you ever considered exploring the sights of a new country? Did you dream of studying abroad but couldn’t fit it in your schedule? With the economic recession particularly hurting the airline business, international flights are now cheaper than ever.
The truth behind male enhancement
While women can find reason for insecurity in their breast sizes, men can feel the same way about their penis sizes. My point here is that penis enlargement is something many men seek.
Beyond the Arch: Preserving St. Louis architecture
Despite the fact that St. Louis may not be known for its architecture, our city plays host to a variety of well-known constructions. In fact, if you look around when walking on campus, you’ll be surprised at what you find.
The Haps: Jump, jive and then you wail
Some nights you just gotta dance. You feel a good beat, your foot starts to tap, and you gotta move to the dance floor. On Saturday, the Washington University Swing Dance Club is bringing in a band to give you those impulsive dancing feelings.

The 3 Day Art Crawl: Stores, Galleries and More
Salt of the Earth, an artisan store in St. Louis, hosted an aptly titled “art crawl” recently. Running from Friday through Sunday, the “crawl” involved a self-guided walk around Shrewsbury and Webster Groves, just north of I-44. The focus was “Close to Home,” in which 14 local stores and galleries were showcased in the tour.
Stepping Out: Bobo Noodle House
Bobo Noodle House is the perfect solution for the hungry Washington University student who is in the mood for a special meal but not willing to brave the cold for too long.
Leadership Wash. U. style
Washington University students tend to be overachievers—we are always seeking out the advanced classes, finding lectures that we can squeeze into our schedules, taking on extra majors and minors, brainstorming business ideas, and, of course, searching for any and all leadership opportunities.
