I know most of you have probably been over to Cafe Eclectic on McLean, near Snowden Elementary. I personally love the place and am glad to see it doing well. Which why I'm happy to share with you that the Cafe has expanded into the space next door and opened a bakery! They've been open a few weeks now and are cranking out the fresh breads, doughnuts, and other goodies on a regular basis. We're not talking your run of the mill french bread that you buy for a buck at Schnuk's either. This is the closest thing you'll get to European bakery stuff around here. I personally don't care for La Baguette and am glad to see it finally have some competition. Check it out and let me know how you like it!
There are a couple of interesting lectures going on over at Rhodes next week and I thought I'd let the readers know about them....
The first addresses hip-hop as poetry:
The second discusses the process of editing Ralph Ellison's unfinished second novel:
So for any of you intellectual types wanna check out some cool stuff, head on over to Rhodes next week. The hip hop event is on Wednesday, April 1 and the Ellison lecture is on Thursday, April 2.
