Food trucks. Little mobile gourmet dispensaries that make anyone with any enthusiasm for eating at all think, “Duh.” A quickly growing trend in the food service industry, trucks are a way for adventurous foodies to make their gourmet specialties available to the masses. In a 2011 “What’s Hot” survey of 1,500 chefs, the National Restaurant […]

Sharing a personal diary with people usually takes a lot of courage, but junior communication and sociology double major Timothy Wynn has boldly decided to take his diary public. Wynn’s Tumblr “diary” requires listening rather than reading. It’s called the “100 Beats Project,” and it is designed as a platform for Wynn to share his […]

Out-of-state students are a rare breed here at UC Davis. Last year 867 out-of-state students accounted for only 4.5 percent of all admitted first-year students. Victoria Marcus, a first-year from Arizona, is part of that 4.5 percent. Marcus, an international relations and economics double major, is a double black belt martial arts expert with her […]

This week’s installment of Neighborhood Navigator takes us to the apartment complexes surrounding campus, otherwise known as Central Davis. Residents of this area describe it as the most convenient place to live, with the best Mexican food in town. Aptly named for its likelihood of being found in the middle of any given map of […]
