Stop by on Tuesday nights at 8:00 for questions ranging from pop culture to hard science, current events to ancient history, geography to psychology to Hermione, and everything in between.

“Right as I was coming down from the RI Ave pedestrian bridge a few mins ago, a car hopped the curb from Forman Mills and sped north on the MBT at about 40 MPH. Obviously lots of cyclists and runners out this time of day, so I hope nobody got hurt!”
