More Time, More Work

While I thought this whole lack of sailing thing would give me tons of free time to enjoy myself it has definitely not. I spent my entire weekend studying for a midterm I had on Tuesday and preparing to hand in a midterm on Monday. Thank goodness I had a friend in town to get me out of my dorm room and into the city on Monday afternoon. We took a trip to Bodega AKA Boston's Hip-Hop palace! The store front is mini store 24 (for people in the south it's like a 711 but way sketchier!) It has everything you could imagine from toilet paper to random magazines. However as you walk by the Snapple machine the entire front of the machine slides to the side and you enter into an upscale retail store. This place carries all of the latest Nike Dunks, hoodies, t-shirts and of course hats! The clothes were cool and all but for me the store concept was the best part. What a genius idea! It served the upper end of the community with the fashion and the lower end with household goods. Plus they had a permanent crew, 10 guys who were just there because it was a cool place to hang out. Here's a write up if you want to check it out.
