A grand openning...

Ed's: No E. Coli here!

...with toilet paper and smiles! After much waiting, Ed's is open for business. Necessity is said to be the mother of invention, and so, when the grand opening ribbon couldn't be found, toilet paper was pressed into service. Even though Ed's manager, Frank Spesia (pictured above with scissors), was short on words and fanfare, the atmosphere was electric so much so that excited Ed's patrons bypassed the toilet paper ribbon and entered the eatery. On the opening of Ed's, Cole Yelich, Steds freshman, first said, "I look forward to gaining weight from the delicious milkshakes from Ed's." 

Wanting to elaborate, Cole later said, "Ed's is like North Dining Hall, except classier."  

After his elaboration, Cole want to expound a bit more and went on to say, "While Ed's may not have the same menu as a 5-star restaurant, it's got the character of a family-owned business that's been passed down through generations."   

Feeling that he had more to offer, Cole said, "Ed's is a place where all your food-related dreams can finally come true."  

In closing, Cole said, "I was sorely disappointed when I showed up at the Ed's opening and found out there was no free food, but the disappointment quickly changed after discovering that the best chocolate milkshakes on campus are only $2!" 

There you have it folks...
