It's not going to feel like States since it won't be an Hour and a half+drive... Thankful for that though. Can't wait for March!


Edited because Derick ripped everything I said to shreds :(

For those coming out of state-
Food in the area is essentially Taco Bell, Dunkin Doughnuts, and a few sit down places, (Not going to be time for that on a lunch break I'd say) unless you actually drive into Okemos (Maybe 10 Minutes) at which point there is basically everything fast-ish you could imagine.

So did the Arby's and Mcdonalds close since I was there last week? Mcdonalds is right down the road, and Arby's is across from Dunkin Doughnuts
 
I don't have a PERFECT memory....

(Plus I don't remember places that pass horse meat as chicken)

Arby's takes offense to that statement. There is also a Quiznos (according to Google maps) right down the road from Taco bell. Little Caesars Pizza is across from Dunkin Doughnuts. Subway is next door to that. Applebee's is also next to McDonalds and you can always order ahead with there curbside to go. These are all less then 1/2 mile from the venue.

So what was that complaint about food again? Guess you just listed places you would eat? Google maps and Fastfood app for IPhone lists almost 30 food places within 2 miles of the venue
 
…I SAID that there was EVERYTHING right down the road into Okemos from the venue.


(And that statement was 100% aimed at McDonalds)
