nworbxela and Kids Corner

We are trying some experiments in google to see if it recognizes this term: nworbxela. So far google has been slow at identifing the term in people's blogs and is usually quicker. We will continue with our google experiment to get the keyword nworbxela to represent all our class blogs. KidsCorner is ranked 11th on the keyword search for outdoor trampolines chester. Hopefully it will be pageranked higher if more people check out the site and include it in their blogs.

Goodbye Balloon!
Fellow classmates Eric, Molly, Erin, and Marisa have all expressed their sadness to the balloon closing. It is a shame that everyone, besides Erin, will not have been able to experience the Stoned Balloon because they are not 21. Have no fear other bars will be taking over mug night. There have been rumors of Deer Park and Shaggy's taking on the mug nite tradition. Walking to class I looked at he balloon sign and it stated there are 17 days left until closing. I'd say check out their website for further details, but it looks like the site
has been disabled, sorry folks.

HOME GROWN

Jodi asked me to say a little something about Home Grown Cafe, I hope this helps. Home grown is a great place to grab a bite to eat on Mainst. They are located next to Happy Harry's on Mainst. They have anything from soups, salads, wraps, sandwiches, and entrees. They also are famous for their great spinach and crab dips. Home Grown's atmosphere is very artisy and unique, with a full bar included.

Blog In Don't Wait

I found an interesting article called "Blog in Don't Wait" about other food blogs. The fellow blogger gives links to other blogs about different ethnic cuisines or experiences with cooking and the restaurant atmosphere.

GOOGLE MAPS

Even though Main St is not a hard location for college students to find, outsiders may be unfamiliar with Main St.'s where abouts. In that case Google Maps is a great tool to locate any resturant on Main St. It provides a map that gives it's exact location down to the precise measurements.

HOW TO DINE
The purpose of Dining on Main St, as I suggested earlier, is to inform students of the delightful restaurants on Main St. I will help you choose the right restaurant to dine at on any occasion and offer links to different restaurants to view their menus. This course project will allow me and others to take a journey into other people’s interests and learn more about those interests. I enjoy the restaurant atmosphere and I know a lot about it since I have been a part time waitress for many years.
I also have created a public account on bloglines.
