Just let me know if you'de like to go some time, happy to show you around town if you like. Usually some decent fun shows (about every 2 months, although the fairgrounds shows quarterly are the best).
Just a kind word of advice about the Drake area, (I used to live about 3-4 blocks from the main campus, on the wrong end of campus), it's kind of a ruff area. I only had a couple of problems (nothing serious)while I was there, but none-the-less excersize some caution if your going to live in that area and keep firearms around. There were good things about where I lived, the mayor lived across the steet, so if someting "fun" was going on and the law was called, there were like 10 squad cars instantly patroling the area. Plus we were up on the 3rd floor with a corner apartment, so we had a nice 270 degree view of the area, and we were safe from street level cross-fire. Not trying to scare you, just a heads up. Only one double murder in the 2+ years my wife and I lived there. Some sort of backalley deal gone bad I believe, two guys shot each other, about a block over in an alley (less than a block away from the infamous Drake-diner.) The other was the crack house across the back parking lot, no real action, just the usual traffic and occasional guy throwing small rocks at the upstairs window very early in the morning.
What are you studying?
