Cpwaites, have you seen the improvements to Jones?  Wow.  And as a Brownie who helped with theater and graduated in 2000, before the new construction, I am terribly envious of the new commons.  Congrats to tennisbird--Rice rocks.  Never biked for Brown, but my husband was a chugger in a champion year!

Only driving past. C'mon, I live a whole 6.15 miles from there (so Mapquest says). You expect me to visit? Actually, I am a very bad alum, which is explained only in part by having children. I should break down and visit Valhalla sometime. I hope it's still there . . .

As for the commons, what I had heard was that Brown, Jones and Martel share foodservice. But it sounds like you have been there. Are you saying there are separate commons? And even more important, can I tell my Baker College wife that the commons she gloats about has been bested by Jones?

My in-laws live in Clear Lake but our church is near Rice, so we stop by about once a year. The Far Side has a single kitchen, but separate eating commonses (?) for each college. The new Brown commons is fabulous, a Japanese-looking style. Sadly for you, I don't think Jones' changed much. So take your kids to play Frisbee on the lawns and see all the new construction (I like Martel a lot), but don't try gloating to your wife or you'll be shut down. Valhalla is still there to my knowledge, but it's not so busy on a Sunday morning when I'm around... There's been a ton of construction, so you and your wife will both be surprised!
