Here in Music City it’s said that guitars can be heard around every corner of every street. Well, now food is found on those same streets and around virtually every corner, thanks to the food truck movement. These rolling kitchens offer a different side of dining to the people of Nashville who want to vary from the fine dining of, say, the Gulch and the fast food of every street corner. Of course, barring major catastrophe, your typical restaurant never moves from the building it sits in. But food trucks travel all over the city of Nashville every day, offering their delectable dishes to everyone in all parts of the city. The trucks usually do not have a set schedule as to where they are going to be at any given point; however, to spread the word about locations and specials, they have turned to social media for help. Twitter is a tool food trucks use to tell people where they will be serving their steaming plates of grub. If there’s one location where you can be sure to find a majority of the food trucks all at once, it is at the Farmers’ Market in Sevier Park on 12th Avenue South every Tuesday evening. During that same day, most trucks also set up at Second Harvest Food Bank, 331 Great Circle Road in MetroCenter, near where the Titans practice. Many trucks offer international cuisine. If Latino food is your fave, for example, there’s The Latin Wagon, Yavo’s O.M.G. and Bangin’ Tacos. In the mood for something greasy? What college student can resist that. Why not try some hamburgers from Hoss’ Loaded Burgers...

Multiple news outlets are reporting that former Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs has died due to health complications. Apple’s Statement: “Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives,” the company said. “The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be at Apple.” Jobs stepped down from an executive role at Apple in August because he said that he could no longer fulfill his duties as the company’s CEO. He instead became chairman of the company. It is not often that a company so successful is controlled by one person. That person was Steve Jobs. Many of you are probably reading this on your iPhones, your iPads, your MacBooks or some other device that Steve Jobs had a hand in creating. He made a huge impact. That impact has been felt on Twitter over the last hour, and students from Lipscomb have chimed in on what they thought of Mr. Jobs and his passing. Alexander McMeen tweeted, “RIP Steve Jobs. You built an empire.” Roxanne Spielvogel tweeted, “I was going to do homework tonight. But now I will be mourning Steve Jobs death. You can call me iRox. #depressed #apple” Jameson Roper tweeted, “Rest in peace Steve Jobs. What a brilliant...

With health week being this last week, Lipscomb students and the Campus Rec staff are getting fitter than ever. That is not all that the men and women in the SAC have planned for this semester, though. “Campus Rec has three different entities; wellness, intramurals and outdoor adventure,” said Director of Campus Recreation, Emily Harris. “Those three programs have been branded going into the year and we have a grad assistant that is an expert in the field.” Harris said that they already have several trips planned for this semester, including white water rafting and horseback riding in October. While those will cost students a bit of cash, the other trips such as hiking or camping will be free. One of the graduate assistants is also organizing a running club. Right now, Dominique Jacoy is training students three mornings a week in preparation for a 5K this fall. Right now, members of the club are readying themselves for a fundraiser to get uniforms for the run. Next spring, Jacoy’s goal is for the club to run a half-marathon. With the improvements in the SAC, Campus Rec is seeing rapid growth in all their programs. “We now have weight room supervisors that are there from 3-8 on Monday thru Friday, Harris said. “They are there for safety and to help the students better their workout capacity or their fitness level. They’re also there to show students how to use the equipment.” One big change that Harris and her staff made was changing the cost of group fitness classes. They didn’t just change – now, classes like zumba, hip-hop and spinning...
