FAMU

[Florida]

I never run my AC... tryin to keep the billz low... ceiling fans are my best friends right now.

But isn't it sad that a Leon County school doesn't have ac. I would guess that because Leon High is so old it would be more expensive to install air condition units. I must agree with the opinion of Leon having the best architecture out of any school. I think FAMU should fine a way to merge a 19th century look with a 21st century look for the DRS. Does anybody know what will happen to the building FAMU high is currently located once this new and improved school goes up?

[Florida]

^Are you sure Leon doesn't have A/C. I remember always being comfortable when I was a student there... maybe its just certain classes that don't.

However, I do think Leon has the look of a quality institution and that look should be mirrored in other local schools.

Hey guys please read this article: http://www.tallahassee.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a.../512060336/1010

I need clarifications is Tallahassee going to host the 2040 Olympics or is this just an idea.

[Florida]

It is very much an idea for now. But who knows what the next 35 years will hold for us!

chiles high school doesn't really look like a community college to me I would say Lincoln probaly looks more community college like then any other public school in Tallahassee.

Chiles H.S. is nice w/its clock tower and design, but it will always be ugly in my eyes because of the parking. They park cars all over the grass and side street in front of the school. I mean either build them more parking or make them park all crazy in the back away from view. To me, it's a tacky mess and really takes away from what could be a beautiful setting. I am assuming they still park like this? It's been awhile since I've been out to South Ga, I mean Killearn Lakes during the weekdays.

I live very near Leon H.S. and yes they have A/C. I can hear it running when I walk.

As far as the FAMU proposal, I think it's just wishful thinking too. The Democrat calls it "the tongue-in-cheek assignment."

[Florida]

...Then again who knows what the future will bring.

I also think its rather tacky the way they allow the students to park along the right-of-way in front of Chiles High School. It reminds me of something you'd see along a Mississippi highway, not in Tallahassee.

I must hit up wanish way soon, its been a while. I want to see how Gameday did from the hill!

[Florida]

Yes... very interesting view from FAMU... I looked from a crack inbetween some trees near FAMU's Lee Hall this evening and saw a very nice set of buildings on Kleman Plaza... in the daylight it would make a great picture.

Chiles look like a smaller version of TCC.

[Florida]

That's exactly what I used to say. I totally agree.

[EbonyGardens]

Booyah, 100 posts and I only been a member for a day. I rock.

[TD]

100 posts is good for 1 day!

[Florida]

^Oh my.

[EbonyGardens]

Definitely. I continue to post the way I am, 1000 will seem like 10 more posts.

[Florida]

So long as they are informative, I'm all for that.

[EbonyGardens]

They will be. I'm not gonna post anything that can't be verified with a link, especially if it's news-related.

[Florida]

awesome.

[EbonyGardens]

You know the deal.

[Florida]

So how do you feel about the New FAMU AD?

[EbonyGardens]

I haven't seen it.

[Florida]

I'm sorry... How do you feel about the New FAMU Athletic Director.

[EbonyGardens]

Let's just hope he doesn't suffer the same fate as Billy Joe, being dismissed for no apparent reason. I like what he's doing so far, turning the athletic program around. Keep up the good work and FAMU may be on FSU's level in terms of athletic supremacy.

[Florida]

Not the New Football Coach... the Athletic Director... Mr Whats-his-face! From the talks of it, he's been around in the past. I don't remember the guy. What changes do you think FAMU needs to make, short term, that could get the ball rolling.
