Thinking about Ice Cream

Tradition has it that at the CoCo end of semester party/exhibition we have two ice cream cakes from Ben and Jerry's

Mon/Wed group choose 2 flavors for one cake

Thur/Fri group choose 2 flavors for other cake
(yours will be the allergy sensitive cake - no brownie between flavors so it will be gluten/wheat free and also no nuts!)

Subway!

Hi guys,

Our friend Renee from group 1! is doing her photo project on the subway. She will be comparing old photographs of the 5 train to the route she takes every day. I happen to be a train geek so I was able to suggest that she visit nycsubway.org to find the old images. Even if this is not what you will be doing your projects on, this is an awesome site to learn the history about your train and your stop. If your ever want to talk trains, come see me!
