National Park(ing) Day 2011 is stopping in State College this Friday. Students in the Stuckeman Architecture program will transform parking spaces into a green mini-park. As part of the event, community members and Penn State students are asked to serve as judges to decide the best park.

This is the third time I’ve seen one of Cirque du Soleil’s traveling productions, and I was prepared to be just as amazed. But Quidam still found a way surprise me.
In two days, our Nittany Lions will travel to Philly to take on the Temple Owls.
