Opening Soon - Coffee Shop, Library...

Can you say Java?  Apparently Starbucks isn't planning to call Urbana home but another national chain, The Daily Grind has signed a lease with Kimco Realty and is scheduled to open late fall.  The Daily Grind is something of a cross between Starbucks and Panera Bread. 

In other news, word comes that the Urbana branch of the Frederick County Library will be opening sometime in November.  An exact date has not yet been set.

RadioVOU Becomes 88.7-JOHNfm

Urbana's own radio station, RadioVOU has renamed itself JOHNfm.  The station plays "classic hits" from the 70's to today with a special emphasis on 80's Rock.  JOHNfm also features local weather at :45 after every hour and USA Radio Network News weekdays from 6-10am at the top of the hour.  Sunday nights, the station runs 80's Meltdown from 7-9pm - a retro countdown show that showcases the best of 80's music.

JOHNfm is operated within the FCC's Part 15 Guidelines - which allow for non licensed operation of AM and FM transmitters within a range of maximum effective radiated power.  What that means, is that you'll likely be able to tune in while in the Villages, but not much beyond the borders of the community.  However, you can tune in anytime on the Internet at http://www.johnfm.com
