Just east of the University Mall, a new ultra-modern movie theater opened last Friday. The Cinemark University Mall, which saw the demise of the nearby University Cinemas dollar theater before construction on the 14 new auditoriums was finished, shows only digital movies.

Recognizing the exhaustive community of students looking for anything to do after 10:00 p.m., Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill now stays open until midnight.

I remember the flames from the first bomb that hit the ground on Oct. 7, 2001. The city of Mazar, Afghanistan was changing from summer to winter.
