New local/regional site & a call for entries
I'll be honest, I don't have a problem with niche websites (this is certainly one) but I know there will be people beyond the target audience at new local regional site, The Boomers, who would be interested in hearing Elizabeth Barton talk about quilting. I also noticed there is a call for entries for a poster contest; I don't recall seeing that at flagpole or anywhere else online Perhaps, I missed it, but it's dreadful how regional entertainment information is scattered every where imaginable. We seem woefully disorganized compared to other states and even cities. Ok, off of my soap box for now. ;-)
Anyhow, I wish them great success and I really hope they share their content beyond their target audience. If you are interested in community folks, art & more, check out the site. Perhaps, someone will even consider crossposting or sharing their information here at athensworld.

Falafel King Cafe
This restaurant has the best falafel I have ever eaten. This stuff is so good that I don't even see the point of trying the other menu items. I would recommend you check this out, and it is located at 1074 Baxter Street in what is obviously an old Pizza Hut building. I am not even the type of person to explore much international or vegetarian fare, but the falafel is spicy and satisfying. Here is a story from Online Athens last year about the place.
