Good times, fast times, high
times, right times - World of Beer
doesn't distinguish among them.
Come for the variety, stay for the
atmosphere. Interesting people
and their stories abound. The peo-
ple who go to WOB (an aptly coined
abbreviation for the bar riveting
with youth and personality) are the
people who want to make the most
of their night - and their budget.

World of Beer boasts "The
Finest Craft Beer, Culture and
Experience" while respecting the
moderate purchasing power of its
collegiate customers. Students can
select from a wide array of seasonal
brews, delicate crafts and flavor-
ful experiments. Anyone homesick
for the taste of a local draught can
flip through the multi-paged menu,
locate their state and choose from

the listing of subset breweries. It's
a healthy way to bask in regional
pride, but also to share with friends,
co-workers or date partners the
special taste of home.
For many people, the bars they
frequent become qualitative enti-
ties that take on a life-like, friendly
form. Emotions poured into sports
games, jokes invested into date
nights, gambles taken on orders

that include risky new dishes - all
of these actions create a kind of rela-
tionship with the bar itself, one that
is subject to high points and low
points, turbulence and triumph.
WOB is like the cool new guy in
town. With a clean slate, it's taking
the campus by storm. Everyone
wants a new friend. WOB says: let
the good times roll.

When your inner hipster is ready to the racks of records and ironic cof-

floral-print dresses and Native Amer- such a wide selection of fashionable

to go out on the town - and don't kid
yourself, we all have one - there's
only one store that sells the right
attire: a perfect blend of casual and
chic, comfort and class. That store is
Urban Outfitters.
From itsunique location justbelow
the iconic Art Deco State Theater sign

fee table books lining its walls, Urban
Outfitters offers the Ann Arbor com-
munity a selection of clothing drip-
ping with practiced diffidence and
an atmosphere that all but screams "I
liked them before it was cool."
No other outlet provides the same
variety of non-standard pant colors,

ican-inspired sweaters. Nowhere else
can you buy an OBEY hat, Icona Pop
on vinyl and a novelty beer can hel-
met without making three separate
trips. And, thanks to an ever-chang-
ing clearance rack and frequent sales
celebrating the less popular Ameri-
can holidays, no other outlet offers

clothing and culturally relevant knick
knacks at prices reasonable enough
to fit into a college student's budget.
Plus, it's the only place you can buy
Blake's bear coat from "Workahol-
ics." Thank you for the profile pic-
ture, Urban Outfitters.
