Waffle House Finally Opens!

It seems the Urbana Community has been waiting a long time since it was first announced that a Waffle House would be opening it's doors here.  It finally has happened as the first yesterday marked their first official day open, and the UrbanaMaryalnd.com staff was among the first guests to sample in the tasty offerings.  By the time we left around 6:30pm yesterday, all tables and booths were full, and there were a few customers waiting.  Hopefully, other food chains will pick up on the fact that "Urban-ites" are starved (pun intended) for a variety of food offerings in our new town center.

Urbana, Maryland Based Travel Site, INTERCOT Raising Funds To Support "Pixie Dust For Sam"

The INTERCOT Pixie Dust Chain of support is legendary and has helped comfort many  members of the site over the years. Now, INTERCOT has a member who needs more Pixie Dust than has ever been mustered before. Little Sam Wood (who just turned 2) is fighting T-cell ALL Leukemia and is in line for a bone marrow transplant. His family needs assistance in covering the post-transplant expenses. We're hoping that you can help Sam by contributing to his cause. As a thank you for members that do contribute, INTERCOT has obtained a limited supply of special silicone wristbands. They’re gold and bear the phrase “INTERCOT.COM – PIXIE DUST FOR SAM”.
