Time for a new topic

As I was reading over my previous posts, I have come to the conclusion that I need to change the topic. I think "my job" has become too boring. So, instead of blogging about a certain topic I think that it would be best for me to change it up every blog. So I think I am going to blog about past or present experiences. Or things that I have read or seen on television or in reality. My first topic is in response to some of the business that have closed on chauncy hill. In the past several months Pita Pit, Fazoli's, and the Wabash Yacht Club have all closed shop. Currently 2 of those businesses have been replaced. There are many rumors going around that Purdue is pressuring the owners of chauncy hill to increase their lease rates in order to drive out business and leave room for chain restaurants. Whether this is true or not I think that this has both pros and cons. On the pro side although these beloved businesses are gone for good they are being replaced by new places for people to eat and hang out. The con being driving out locally owned business and replacing them with big chain restaurants that a person can find in almost every city around the United States. In my opinion, a college town is suppossed to be unique in the fact that they offer restaurants that you cant find in many other locations and this is being spoiled in my opinion. Whatever the reason may be for these closure I hope that it is a ethical reason. Here is a link to the Purdue Exponent relating to the recent closing on Chauncy Hill. http://purdueexponent.com/?module=article&story_id=17249
