PHOTO OF THE WEEK

Maggie Seppi Major: Journalism Year: Junior

I was recently introduced to Chamblin BookMine in downtown Jacksonville, and this photo captures what I enjoyed most about it. Handwritten signs were taped to the ends of the aisles, giving only a vague idea of the books contained within them. And with books new and used to look through, you could spend an hour in a single aisle. This is only one of them; there are at least 20 more. Mind you, there were also stacks sprinkled throughout the store lacking any description. It was organized, yet disorganized; overwhelming, yet calming.

I took this photo with my Iphone 4s and processed it with Instagram using the Amaro filter.

Question 2: If he is released, what team is the best fit for IndianapolisC olts’ quarterback Peyton Manning?

But, realistically, I think the best fit Seattle, Jacksonville, Kansas City, etc. Basically Bills. Get the picture? Peyton’s better than player we need. Then all we would need is Oakland.
