A recession is here and college bars may be feeling the pinch, while the college kids may be feeling better in the mornings.
Tuesday: Two for one.
Wednesday: $1 beers.
Thursday: Downtown specials.
These weekday specials are certainly keeping the college kids entertained, but when the drink specials are missing, the college kids are lacking. Weekend gatherings at bars are diminishing due to the fact that prices are high and money being made is little. With many college students in the service industry, they are the first to feel the effects of an economy that has seen better days.
Junior, Caitlin Leach stated, "Working in food service has made my income less and less each week."
With less and less each week, weekend warriors are retiring and finding other activities, possibly a second job.
"My weekend fun has shifted to the packed bars full of Coors Light bottles on the weekdays" said, Leach.
Towson students alike are finding common ground in this area and have cut back on the consumption, leaving pocket books and wallets full.
