Identifying Local Opportunities

1.       Gainesville to reach record-high temperatures during heat wave.
·         All gator fans are too hyped about UF softball team. The temperature of Gainesville is 13 degrees above the average temperature this year. Gainesville has hit 100 degrees in the month of May five times in the past 129 years so you can tell how crazy this is. People need to aware of heatstroke. All people especially children, old people, and people who play sports outside need to aware of this problem.

2.       Alachua County STD rates rise with national trend.
·         Sexually transmitted diseases on the rise nationally and Alachua County is not an exception. The health center found that many incoming UF students lack the knowledge that they need to practice safe sex or understand the risk. If you infected with sexual disease such as chlamydia, there is the possibility of being sterile or miscarriage. If you feel something wrong after sex, Gatorwell offers free HIV testing at its main office location in the Reitz Union through a collaboration with the Alachua County Health Department so must go. Everyone who had sex without protection have this problem.

3.       Meal prep: a college student’s saving grace.
·         It explains why we should do meal prep, how and how to love meal prep. We should meal prep because we can save money, time in a pinch, and make the week more productive. Not doing meal prep can be a problem because it gets lazy to cook at home after school because you are tired. People tend to go buy fast food instead which is not healthy and good for you. All college students could have this problem.

4.        Marston Science Library third floor flooded.
·         There was a puddle of water coming from the bathroom. The puddle was about 1,000 square feet and about six rows of bookshelves had their walkways immersed in roughly half an inch of water. It is kind of a big deal because this accident stopped everyone’s focus who was studying in the library and also, there are many important books in the library so cannot be wet. What caused the flood was overflow of the toilet and the toilet was stuffed toilet paper. I think all student have problem. All students need to realize how to use toilet proper way because sometimes I see brown paper (supposed to wipe your hands you cannot flush this) in the toilet and it will clog the toilet.

5.       Taco Bell across campus stripped and shut down
·         The Taco Bell at Midtown closed abruptly. Taco Bell corporate could not be reached for comment, and local Taco Bell franchises declined to comment. The problem of this happened is this Taco Bell had high demand from UF students. It was located at midtown and surrounded by many apartments so I can say it was a great location. It was very busy especially weekends, I saw many people go there after drinking at midtown. We do not know the actual reason why they closed but I think customer’s behavior could be one of the reasons. I have seen people throwing up at this restaurant so I would say drunk students were the problem.

  1. Hi Kaito,

    I see a lot of opportunity in your article picks. You mention that the building that housed Taco Bell is located close to midtown, which is especially busy during weekends. This is probably valuable real estate for a business due to location and high levels of foot traffic. It will be interesting to see what will become of the location, and I wonder whether Taco Bell has much time left on their lease that they will not be using.
