Supporting Local Art By Crawling Across The Nation
Feb 1, 2017
Art crawls are events that bring the community together through local art. Most are hosted by local nonprofits that rely on volunteers and donations in order to host the event. They are usually held once a month, and, on that specific day, people from all over the city can come together at the designated place and walk from location to location. The crawls are usually set up amongst a group of restaurants and bars where the artists are inside displaying their art. It’s a chance for the people leaving work to go someplace where they might get a little more than an after work drink. Art crawls take place all over the country from Nashville, TN to St. Paul, Minnesota and almost eve...

President Obama Says Books Helped Him Survive The White House
Jan 18, 2017
If you need any more proof that books can save lives, look no further than President Barack Obama! When asked how he survived the ups and downs of being the President of the United States, Obama said books have had an "indispensable role" during his time in office. The White House may seem like a grand structure of unity and strength from the outside, but some of the most important decisions in our country's history take place behind those walls. Ours is "a noisy era of information overload, extreme partisanship, and knee-jerk reactions" that President Obama has han...

Parks & Rec's Leslie Knope Writes Heartfelt Letter To Americans Everywhere
Nov 10, 2016
Earlier today, Yahoo.com published a letter written by Pawnee, Indiana's own Leslie Knope. Okay, so we're hoping you know that Leslie Knope is a fictional character from Parks & Rec who was played by Amy Poehler. But, regardless, the letter voices a much-needed opinion (in character) about the current state of America. You can read the full letter here: Dear America, Amidst the confusion, and despair, and disbelief, it was suggested to me by a very close friend of mine (I won’t say her name to protect her identity) (Ann.

Simone Biles and Zac Efron -- Does It Get Any Cuter Than This?
Aug 22, 2016
Back in March, gymnastic wunderkind Simone Biles visited the Ellen Show and admitted that she had the biggest crush on actor Zac Efron. She told Ellen that she had a life-sized cardboard cutout of Efron that she would occasionally kiss, and Ellen -- being Ellen -- then gifted Biles with a leotard that was completely covered in images of the actor. This was the start of what would eventually become the cutest story out of the Rio Olympics. Cut to August and the beginning of the adorable twitter exchanges between Biles and Efron, as Biles was competing for ...

Her episode, “Master Of Weak Ties”, is the tenth episode of the season and will focus on the fallout of Paige’s (Serinda Swan) need to kill Toros Berbarian (Val Lauren) in self-defense, mostly due to a lack of communication and deeply-rooted mistrust between her male roommates.

Last night was a night to be remembered in Canada while the lesbian led USA Women's Soccer team beat Japan 5-2 for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2015 win. Something special was definitely in the air (amidst the smoke from nearby Vancouver wildfires) when Carli Lloyd started things off at the 3 minute mark with a perfect strike. Little did we know, just 2 minutes later, she would punt another pass right across Japan's goal line making it 2-0 within the first 5 minutes, as fans went into a frenzy. Lauren Holiday was next to send one into Japan's net and YET AGAIN, Carli Lloyd sailed another past keeper Kaihori and would be the first ever to have a hat trick in a Women's World Cup ma...
