This sign over an Allen St storefront has been hanging since pretty early in the fall semester. We at Onward State are certainly fans of Chinese food, but I want to know... When exactly is soon anyway?
Every year the fraternities help make the Highlands district a little brighter, literally. Many of the houses in the neighborhood put up elaborate holiday light displays. The IFC and Panhellenic Councils put on the Holiday Lights tour. Onward State Staff Photographer Eric Weiss took the tour and we've put together a slideshow for your enjoyment. Let us know which house you think had the best display!
For 75 years, Kodachrome has been the film of choice for thousands of film photographers around the world. It has been used to take some of the most iconic images of our time. Last year, Kodak, the maker of the film, announced that it would be ceasing production of the most well known film type of all time (it's even got a Paul Simon song about it), it saddened a photographer who had been using the product for over 35 years.

Staff photographer Charlotte Kohl was at the Open House and took the tour. Her pictures are after the jump.
