An opportunity As a former Colonial die-hard who now resides in the basketball-crazy land of the Dayton Flyers, I was appalled that the crowd at the Dayton game (Friday, Jan. 18) was the largest in the Smith Center in almost two years.

After walking around in the cold all day, the last thing one wants is to go back out at night in even colder temperatures to find dinner at J Street. Stews are great wintertime dinners.
