* Food

eCreamery

As the hot summer days dwindle away into fall, cool off with some new flavors of ice cream. eCreamery in Dundee offers “a life less Vanilla” with flavors like cucumber mint, avocado, and basil.

* Radio Station

89.3 The Current

Public radio that won’t put you to sleep, The Current is based out of the Twin Cities and plays music that you won’t hear on a top 40 station, without gimmicks. Plus, it’s virtually commercial free.

* New Coffee Shop: Blue Line Coffee

This summer, Blue Line Coffee opened a new location near campus next to Urban Outfitters. A great place to study, Blue Line serves quiche, baguettes, scones, imported wine, beer and, of course, coffee.

* Movie

“The Dark Knight”

If you haven’t seen The Dark Knight yet, then you’re definitely in the minority. It might not sweep the Academy Awards but we definitely don’t regret adding to its box office success.

* Album

Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida”

June was a big month for music as the amphitheatre-filling piano rock group Coldplay released “Viva La Vida.” Every song on the album is single worthy and unique. It is well worth some of the money you earned at that summer job.
