guess what i just remembered...

...the university of tennessee's student newspaper, the daily beacon! specifically, its crime log. here's an excerpt:

Monday, April 6

• 7:38 a.m. — Vandalism report at South Stadium Hall.
• 10:48 a.m. — Theft report taken. Stolen wallet with UT ID in Fort Sanders.
• 11:23 a.m. — Accident report at McClung Plaza.

Tuesday, April 7

• 12:47 a.m. — Sick person at Clement Hall.
• 2:48 a.m. — Hit-and-run on White Avenue.
• 3:01 a.m. — Skateboarding disturbance in White Avenue Garage. Officer advised student subjects to relocate.

my fave is 'suspicious person at money wall'. i think this is a great opportunity to introduce you all to the UT phenomenon known as the money wall:

i always felt like i was gonna get hardcore mugged there. this is the best photo the internet had to offer. as you can barely see...the money wall was a subterranean line of 10-12 ATMs built into the cavernous ground level of a parking garage. at night, it was poorly lit and almost always abandoned. you had to walk up to the wall with your back to your surroundings and withdraw enough money to get you through a night at cool beans (roughly $20).

during my first week at UT I was told to meet some people at the money wall ... I had seen the ATM's on a drive by and didn't hesitate to associate that with the location of the meet-up. I was right. Goes right along with 'the rock' and 'the bubble' ...
