Food Friday: Golden West Cafe Take Out Window
September 25th, 2015 by WLOY Staff
What: Golden West Cafe Take-Out Window
Where: W 36th Street, Hampden
When: Sun-Thurs. 7am-12am, Friday-Sat. 7am-2am
I have always been a faithful to Golden West Cafe and their Sunday morning brunch. This past weekend at HampdenFest, I finally got the chance to experience the new take-out window. And, in the spirit of a true toddler I had waffles with a big fluffy dollop of whip cream and a big glass of chocolate milk (admittedly an odd choice for a hot saturday morning). It. Was. Awesome. Delicious and hardly nutritious–the perfect breakfast. The Take-Out window’s hours are amazing, 7am-2am on Fridays and Saturdays, perfect those late nights of too much…studying and work…and you really just want a huge platter of nachos.

Roland Park Middle School Tours WLOY
September 24th, 2015 by WLOY Staff
This past Monday and Tuesday, WLOY had the pleasure of hosting 60 eighth graders, along with some teachers and parents, from Roland Park Middle School. Students spent about an hour touring the station, learning about the operations, and watching DJs in action. They learned about the equipment and functions of each recording and production studio, asked lots of questions about sound dampening panels on the walls and ceilings, and tried to fathom how we got 10,000 CDs and 7,000 LPs in that small space. The students got to meet and talk to some pretty cool DJ’s while they were on the air!
These students are currently involved in Roland Park’s theater class. They are currently writing radio plays and the best ones will be selected by their teacher to record and produce them at WLOY. They will be back in October to share their plays with everyone…so be sure to tune in!! We have been fortunate enough to collaborate with Roland Park Middle on this project for 4 years. There have been some very creative plays written during our time together and we hope to inspire these young kids to be future DJs! Remember to keep an open ear for more of these creative plays in October as details emerge. Thank you, Roland Park Middle School!

AFC East Preview
September 19th, 2015 by WLOY Staff
After week 1, the AFC East is the only division in football in which all 4 of the teams in the division opened their season 1-0. In a division that features the defending Super Bowl champion, New England Patriots, the AFC East has the potential to be one of the best in football. The Bills, Dolphins, and Jets all made significant upgrades to their roster this offseason and all four teams could make a run at the postseason. Here is my AFC East preview for the 2015 season.
The Bills brought in the likes of LeSean McCoy, Percy Harvin, Charles Clay, and of course the always entertaining Rex Ryan to be their head coach. They also have a new quarterback under center, former Virginia Tech standout Tyrod Taylor. Taylor has been the Ravens back-up quarterback the past 4 seasons, but got his first NFL start on Sunday leading the Bills to a statement victory over the Indianapolis Colts by a score of 27-14.

What: One World Café
Where: 100 W University Pkwy, Baltimore

Need a break from Starbucks? Same. That is why I went to One world Cafe! They have absolutely delicious baked good and their drinks are refreshing. I got a classic double chocolate chip muffin…amazing. They do not stop at baked goods though, sit down and enjoy a meal! One World makes its a very important part of their business to insure vegan and vegetarian oriented foods. They make this their mission to focus on this as a major part of their cafe. Stop by, get a coffee or ice tea with a, highly recommended, double chocolate chip muffin. You can sit inside in the cozy atmosphere and enjoy the a nice coffee house ambiance or sit onside while we still enjoy this beautiful weather! And for those night owls, One World Café is open until 2am! One World Café
