The Pack in the Palouse

Looking for something fun to do over the weekend? I don’t know about you, but I find myself getting tired of the same old weekend routine as it becomes so late in the year. So, lucky for us, we have a great opportunity coming to Pullman on Saturday that is sure to switch up our regular nighttime routine.

On Saturday, April 24th, rap group “The Pack” will be performing a special concert at Stubblefields! It is very unusual for us to get such popular groups to travel out to our little town, so I suggest you take advantage of this opportunity and go see what I’m sure will be a great show!

Although Stubblefields is usually a 21+ building, Pullman has made the concert more available to its students and will make this special event 18+, with a bar in the basement available for those of age.

Rico's Pub

As the end of the school year approaches, I began to ask myself what kinds of things there are to do here in Pullman that I have yet to try. This is when my friend and I decided to get off of campus, and the area I find myself spending all my time, and venture into town.

Considering downtown Pullman is the size of many people’s neighborhoods at home, it is hard not to notice all of the places it has to offer. I, for one, am guilty of just driving by stores and restaurants without actually checking them out for myself. Over my past three years here, I have found myself driving by Rico’s Pub multiple times a week, but never inquiring what it was all about. In order to figure it out, my friend and I decided we would check the scene for ourselves.

To my surprise, Rico’s Pub was amazing! The atmosphere was much different from the regular bar scene I have found in Pullman, and offered a wide selection of drinks and entertainment. Pool tables, dart boards, and around the clock meals are available and impressive! They also have live bands playing there, which is a great change from the usual repetitive music you hear at most bars. The staff, food, and music were all exceptional. It’s a shame I discovered this place for myself so late into the year, but I will defiantly be back again.

Coffee and a book

When I go to Daily Grind, one of many things usually takes over my thoughts: studying, coffee sipping, conversing, etc.. Typically, browsing a selection of books in the very back of the store is not one of them. Unbeknownst to me (and my rigid agenda that seems to conquer any out-of-the-norm thinking when it comes to coffee shops), is a lending library in what used to be cold storage near the music room at DG. After checking out some of the titles the other day, I realized I had been missing out...

On foot when the sun gets up

Early morning walks aren't for everyone, but sometimes even the staunch opponent to waking-up when the sun does can't deny its benifits. In a town like Pullman, a person faces more than a few potential walking routes.

A few promising stops are the parks of Pullman. With footpaths and trails linking some of the more centrally-located parks in Pullman, a trip out to one of these getaways with coffee cup in hand makes for a perfect way to start up a day.

Take a walk near the Palouse River near downtown and stroll down to its banks for a quiet place to read a favorite book, or browse Pullman's historic district and see the houses that have gained national recognition for their rich presence in our area's past.

Whether you decide a trip to the coffee shop is in order or a stroll through one of Pullman's inviting parks, think outside the box and look to the subtle things overlooked in the everyday. Sometimes its a simple early morning walk than can make a day great.
