Today, we neither had to travel or play any games so we had a long practice. After practice we ventured to "the Corner", a collection of student shops, bookstores, and cafes. On the street, there were a few local eateries, yet chain restaurants like Starbucks and Qdoba seemed to be taking over. Our team ate at Bodo's Bagels, which was locally owned and operated since 1988.After eating there, I sent an e-mail inquiry to Bodo's Bagels to ask whether they purchase their ingredients locally. In a response, manager Scott Smith says:
" I'm afraid we don't use local sources. To my knowledge, there's nobody in the area who can consistently provide the volume that we need. If that seems surprisng, it may help to know that we use over 200 50-pound bags of flour--and a similarly large pile of produce--each week. Our produce buyers are local, but most of their stock comes from further a field."
