Beavercreek’s Coffee Hub Fills the Coffee-Shaped Hole in My Heart
By Ashleigh Clark
I like coffee shops. No matter where they are, what they look like, or what coffee they serve, all coffee shops have this special place in my heart. Coffee shops present an alternative in a world where teens and young adults are losing real-life hangout spaces. The cozy atmosphere of a local coffee shop makes them great places to bring friends.
I’ve been exploring cafés outside of Cedarville and my search brought me to Coffee Hub in Beavercreek. Some may know ...

The Kasters said they met in a Missouri ...

By Maggie Fipps

Think back to when you got goosebumps from Lee Greenwood’s classic “God Bless the USA,” not just from the excellently timed cymbal crash, but from pure pride in the red, white and blue.
The Paris Olympics, beginning in just a few months, could be a chance to regain a sense of national pride that the USA’s breakdancer could beat France in an epic battle, (yes, that is ...
A letter from Prague
By Avonlea Brown
The city of a thousand spires, the city of magic, the golden city, the mother of all cities. The guidebooks did not lie.
I arrived in Prague skeptical of all the hype I had gotten from every person I talked to about my upcoming travels. One city could not be as beautiful, peaceful and interesting as people had said. And yet here I am, sitting on the bathroom floor in my apartment at 1 a.m. so as not to wake my roommates, writing about how Prague has to be one of ...

Cedarville students witness light in a city of darkness: D.C. GO Trip Part 1
By Julia Swain
The first thing I noticed about the city of Washington D.C. is that it never stops moving– ever.
Whether it’s in a park in the heart of the city, a Starbucks, or a charming bookstore, no one stops to have a conversation, check in to see how someone is doing, or offer even the simplest wave hello.
Coming from a school where all of this is commonplace, this was a shock.
It demonstrates the darkness that is so evident in D.C., a darkness that at ...
