Do you feel safe at Oyster Bake?

Alexandria Rodriguez Freshman Undeclared Business â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes I do feel very safe because I know that St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police will be there.â&#x20AC;?

Reba Cupp Freshman Psychology â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do feel safe. Mainly because the fences make me feel confined and seeing the police always patrolling.

Klarissa Llanes Sophomore Marketing â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The cell phone service was really bad. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to get a hold of family and friends and ended up having to walk around the whole festival until I found them.â&#x20AC;?

What is being built in place of the McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on Culebra?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

It is a McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Basically, what they are doing is rebuilding the store. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their new building style and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably have new decor. It is where we completely tear down and rebuild it. It has a 90-day schedule, depending on weather. It should have a third window in the drive-thru and a second drive-thru. The store will also have a coffee bar.
