Serving Tea on the School’s Cafe
Dear Editors,
While I enjoyed Ms. Gu’s article in the October 31, 2019 issue, we should not forget this fine institution’s former coffee house, Grounds of Appeal.
While, yes, the coffee was objectively terrible and the operator served better coffee to inmates than students (though, really, what’s the difference when you’re stuck within the four corners of the former Bora Laskin Law Library for 24 hours a day), the name was so punny that Follies is still trying to revive it. [Editor’s note: they are not.]
While it is alleged that Aramark treated their employees terribly and the Blue Dragon team is much nicer and more welcoming, this reader will miss the little nook of happiness and burnt coffee served out of a tiny counter in Flavelle.
And if this school didn’t bend over backwards to attract more corporate donors (e.g. Goodmans), perhaps we could still have had Grounds of Appeal.
Yours truly,
Honghu Wang, former editor-in-chief
P.S. Regarding last month’s issue, how dare you release this fine newspaper on a—gasp—Thursday and not a Wednesday! Truly nothing is sacred.
