got your debut on television,” he said.<br />

Chris Juengel, another communications<br />

media pr<strong>of</strong>essor, emphasizes the<br />

importance <strong>of</strong> being involved with the<br />

station. (read more)<br />

“I was a student here at IUP <strong>and</strong> was<br />

a part <strong>of</strong> IUP-TV <strong>and</strong> I can’t stress<br />

enough how much it helped me for my<br />

career path,” he said.<br />

He jokes that even though he hasn’t<br />

started that path yet, he knows that<br />

once he does, he’ll credit his time with<br />

the station for his success <strong>and</strong> knowledge<br />

in the television industry.<br />

Anthony Scherer, a senior communications<br />

<strong>and</strong> journalism major from<br />

Monroeville, has been a part <strong>of</strong> IUP-<br />

TV since his freshman year.<br />

“I think it is a really great opportunity<br />

for communications media majors to<br />

get their feet wet <strong>and</strong> gives them practice<br />

in the broadcasting <strong>and</strong> television<br />

field,” Scherer said. “I have had so<br />

many awesome experiences by being a<br />

part <strong>of</strong> this station.”<br />

So whether you’ve always seen yourself<br />

on television, or maybe just behind<br />

the scenes, head on over to IUP-TV<br />

<strong>and</strong> get a jump start in the right direction!<br />

Eat Here, Not There<br />

Continued from p. 35<br />

Because Valley Dairy is an older<br />

establishment, some people<br />

stated that the restaurant did<br />

not seem as clean as it could be.<br />

Valley Dairy is known for their ice<br />

cream, but multiple people stated<br />

that the ice cream was “icy, watery<br />

<strong>and</strong> low quality.” If you want more<br />

information about Valley Dairy, you<br />

can contact them at (724) 349-6052,<br />

These<br />

four restaurants are not the only<br />

restaurants that are talked about in<br />

<strong>Indiana</strong>. Many people have opposing<br />

views on other restaurants as well.<br />

First, we have Ruby Tuesday, a chain<br />

restaurant located right across the<br />

street from Eat’n Park. People seem<br />

to agree that the food is delicious, but<br />

that it is way too expensive. People<br />

also stated that the wait is always<br />

long, but that the workers are very<br />

well-mannered <strong>and</strong> kind. Another<br />

restaurant many people talk about<br />

is Kim Moon, a Chinese/Japanese<br />

restaurant located at 718 Philadelphia<br />

St. First, people found that<br />

their prices are cheap <strong>and</strong> affordable.<br />

Others have said that it is the best<br />

Chinese restaurant in town. Many<br />

people have also stated that the sushi<br />

is amazing. Another restaurant<br />

talked about in <strong>Indiana</strong> is Perkins,<br />

another chain restaurant similar<br />

to Eat’n Park as it serves breakfast<br />

among other things. Customers<br />

have reported that Perkins has a nice<br />

atmosphere <strong>and</strong> that it is very familyoriented.<br />

Multiple people stated that<br />

the food comes out quickly <strong>and</strong> that<br />

the prices are inexpensive. A negative<br />

review found here is that the<br />

wait can be fairly long. One other<br />

restaurant that has many different reviews<br />

is Romeo’s Pizzeria. Romeo’s<br />

is located at 1112 Oakl<strong>and</strong> Ave. One<br />

major positive thing about Romeo’s is<br />

its late hours – it is open until 3 a.m.<br />

on most nights. Many people find<br />

the pizza <strong>and</strong> breadsticks to be “delicious.”<br />

Other people find Romeo’s to<br />

be too expensive, <strong>and</strong> some find the<br />

service to be “terrible.”<br />

Tres Amigos is the final restaurant<br />

that will be focused on, as it<br />

is one <strong>of</strong> the newer restaurants in<br />

<strong>Indiana</strong>. Tres Amigos is a Mexican<br />

restaurant located at 1540 Oakl<strong>and</strong><br />

Ave. The main positive review found<br />

was that the wait staff <strong>and</strong> service<br />

is “phenomenal.” At this restaurant,<br />

you get an enormous amount <strong>of</strong> food<br />

for a cheap price. The food comes<br />

out “hot, fast <strong>and</strong> delicious!” From<br />

all <strong>of</strong> the reviews, it is apparent that<br />

the most popular item served at Tres<br />

Amigos are the margaritas; they are<br />

strong yet delicious.<br />

So, although there was no clear<br />

winner or loser for the best<br />

<strong>and</strong> worst restaurant to dine<br />

at in <strong>Indiana</strong>, there are many helpful<br />

reviews that can enable a person<br />

to make that decision. In the end<br />

though, it isn’t up to someone else to<br />

make the decision as to where a person<br />

should dine at in <strong>Indiana</strong>. People<br />

need to go out <strong>and</strong> discover that for<br />

themselves.<br />
