It's unfortunate that I am unable to make a trip or two back this fall. Safety career fair was canceled, and as such so is my two day trip to Indiana. My coworker who came with me last year loved it. We went to Brunzie's and Levity Brewing for dinner. Brunzie's opened, I think, my junior year. I have always enjoyed it. I have enjoyed Levity the 2-3 times I have been there as well. Very good food and huge portions. There have been a few nice restaurants open up in the area in the last few years.

I still think that the Hilton is missing a great opportunity to be a good pregame spot before a football game. They could get some nice traffic, you would think, for breakfast/brunch before a noon or 1:00 game.

I've never been to Levity but I've had their beer and its very good. The Haze Frehely was my favorite.

The Hilton does well before and after basketball games but, yeah, not much on football days. People love those $60 parking tailgate spots too much.

They were doing functions in the KCAC before football games but most said it wasn't worth the price.

Indiana is a good college town. Better than a lot of Division 1 areas. Having the opportunity to travel some for work, I've had the unique ability to see a bunch of different colleges. Indiana and IUP stacks up really well. I'm not talking about attendance, but it would be cool to see the town come more "alive" on a football Saturday. I always had visions of seeing Philly Street really popping. It probably could if the stadium was located more in that direction.

Regarding the KCAC, yeah that event sucks. You pay like 30 bucks to go inside. They have an Aramark buffet with hot dogs, salad, baked beans, pasta salad, and cookies. Does not include drinks. They have one person serving alcohol, but because it's only one person, it takes about 25 minutes to get through the line. Definitely don't recommend.

I really feel like some of those places could get really good play before games. Levity Brewing for sure. I think the Hilton too.

The G-Man was a popular bar in the 80s and 90s. It was located in what you'd remember as Cozumel. They were famous for quarter Rolling Rock drafts a couple nights a week. More recently it was called Off the Rocks but that place has closed. It has a sign up now stating a Mexican Bar and Grill is soon opening (two on Philly).

I'm still lobbying for The Gingerbread Man to make a comeback.

After college, when I first started working, I needed more income so I picked up a night job bartending at the G-Man. Oh fun times.

There's two left on what we'd call the old frat row. By IUP standards they are nicer ones. The others have kind of spread out -- which I think was the goal.

Seventh Street looks nicer now. It still gets a lot of activity being the main gateway from campus up to Philly Street. But, visually it's 100 times nicer than in the 80s and 90s.

I have never heard of The Gingerbread Man. But when I was in school, Munchie Man was a big deal. Although he "retired" after my sophomore year. He set up a hot dog stand on the street next to the Giant Eagle Express store on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Could get 50 cent hot dogs.

It's a tough gig. The owners there have been there about 20 years.

Twenty years of putting up with drunken college kids. They made some serious coin there.

Remember $2 anything ... lol. They were certainly the first bar on Philly to ever have cage dancers.


The Coventry Inn finally sold. Not sure what the new owners have in mind. It appears the latest edition of The Train Station is dead.

It didn't take long for the slum section of the IUP campus (800 block of Wayne Ave) to make some headlines. First stabbing over the weekend (those involved were 20 and 23 years old). No official word if either were IUP students.

For those who haven't been back in years, the old 'Frat Row' (as most of us knew it) is largely gone. A lot of the slum frat houses were tore down. It seems most of the trouble simply moved further down the street. Several of the worst crimes near campus in the past 5 years have all come on the same block.

That Giant Eagle ran Sudsy's out ... and then closed. I'm still lobbying for The Gingerbread Man to make a comeback.

The Wolfies owner have owned it more than 20. I'm thinking like 25 years. Ken looked old way back then. hahahahaha

Wolfies is up for sale.
