By Danielle Mackenthun Staff Writer [email protected]

Tucked away on the south side of the Physics building, 50 garden beds make up UW-Milwaukee's "campus gardens," created to help UWM students, faculty and staff grow their own food. On May 27,2011, volunteers on campus helped to make the garden beds. The gardens are being planted on top of a legacy, as the grounds previously served as victory gardens during World War I and II. The UWM Conservation and Environmental Science class gives students an opportunity to plant and grow educational gardens. The gardens also serve UWM's Restaurant Among Spurlock's packed audience were UWM marketing students. Post photo by Jesse Anderson Operations as a source of produce.

I do like Amazon because I can listen to a 30 sec cut from an album before I purchase it(like old music stores did in the past). They are also quite cheaper on their new pr-order LP's than the local guy. But when it comes to used LP's I support my local stores (Rhino Records in Claremont Ca 8c The Madd Platter 8c Groovers Records in Riverside Ca) When I travel it is a must for me to visit the local records shops 8c buy from them. Ha St in S.F has a few cool shops like Recycled Records 8c Groove Merchant Records. I made great purchases from them last month. Kids today have been robbed of the experience of shopping for music. Talking to the guy behind the counter 8c asking "who's this playing in the back ground". It's all too sterile. Music seams to not be personal anymore too. I doubt my friends or neighbors kids will be making a mix tape for their boy or girlfriends. Music isn't sentimental anymore either. I still own my 1st lp. KISS Destroyer. Got it for my 8th birthday in Oct 78 at K-Mart. (I thought the make up was cool 8c I still own that lp today). Little did I know that single LP steered me into the direction of the music I listen to today. Who remembers their 1st digital download? Good luck still owning it 33 yrs later. You may lose or have your iPod stolen. Your pc may crash 8c you will lose EVERYTHING. In short I miss the local record shop (I also miss the local stereo shop but that's for a different article). Someones iPod/mp3 collection will not be as cool as my LP 8c CD collection because I can hold it, read the liner notes. See what instruments my favorite bands like to use. When my friends come over for beer 8c music they too can do the same. There is an excitement when they go through the collection 8c see something they haven't seen or heard since they were a kid. They sit there with that LP in hand 8c they are in 1980 or 1976 or 1990 again.
