Although Student Council elections have publicly remained without cheating in the past, rumors sprung up during last week’s class board elections that there may have been voting problems, or cheating, with SurveyMonkey when students voted on who would be Executive Board officers for the 2013-2014 school year. Despite the elections for executive board, junior class board, and sophomore class board being done over the online feature Surveymonkey, senior class board was later chosen by paper ballot, with the rising seniors, personally checking off their choices for president, vice-president, treasurer, and secretary. “Ms. O'Keefe wanted to do it the paper ballot way to personally oversee... Continue Reading

New gun control measures need to ensure a safer society

Following the horrific violence seen at Sandy Hook elementary, a shooting that killed 20 children and six educators, support for gun control measures soared. Up to 60 percent of the country supported revising gun control laws, and up to 90 percent supported universal background checks. However, five months and several shootings later, support has waned substantially. Politico stated that now only 49% of the public supports new laws. Why is it that after our country experiences tragedies such as these we only keep our attention to reform in the immediate wake? According to Mother Jones, “25 mass shootings have occurred since 2006, and seven of them took place in 2012.” In fact, the... Continue Reading

Affordability and atmosphere brings customers to Mozza Mia

Italian restaurant Mozza Mia combines a welcoming atmosphere with delicious food, and its location in downtown Edina contrasted with its affordable nature allow a wide variety of people to enjoy the restaurant.

Located off of 50th and France, Mozza Mia is an accessible site, with a parking ramp across the lot. The restaurant itself is located on a corner, also leaving it separated enough from the businesses in the surrounding buildings and street areas.

Mozza Mia highlights their establishment as a “pizza pie and mozzarella bar,” with the most popular entreés including mozzarella, salads, pasta, and their most favored option, pizza. With fifteen different assortments of toppings as well as the ability to mix toppings on one pizza, even picky eaters and gluten-free customers can find something that they enjoy on the menu. The food is also priced at an affordable range of $7-$16, allowing even those with small budgets to try something new.

Even without the delicious food, Mozza Mia attracts customers through its decor and seating arrangement, transmittable to both a daytime and evening setup. Bright lighting illuminates the booths lining the edge of the large space, making the restaurant feel busy without becoming too overwhelming even on a crowded night. An open bar is also located at the far corner of the restaurant, allowing the adults to further enjoy this aspect of the restaurant without taking away from the main menu and overall atmosphere.
