National Chicken Month
Did you know it's National Chicken Month? Celebrate by visiting Song's Chicken. Here's what one reviewer said about Song's Chicken: "I love this place! I went for lunch and had a great time. They gave me a sample of the daily special — a spiced yellow broth with chickpeas that comes with rice and chicken - it was so good I almost got some to go for dinner. I ordered the falafel [sandwich], which is a wrap, [with] grape leaves, and the baba ghanoush. All were excellent and the baba ghanoush was the best I've ever had. They also gave [me] a taste of the Arabian coffee which was spiced and delicious. There is a great vibe here, clean, friendly, cool space with Egyptian decor. I'll be back soon!" Song's Chicken is about a 5 minute drive from Waterloo Place Apartments. Happy National Chicken Month!

When their headquarters are destroyed and the world is held hostage, their journey leads them to the discovery of an allied spy organization in the US called Statesman, dating back to the day they were both founded. In a new adventure that tests their agents' strength and wits to the limit, these two elite secret organizations band together to defeat a ruthless common enemy, in order to save the world, something that's becoming a bit of a habit for Eggsy.

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)
Published in 2011, we know you won’t want to miss out on this book by Mindy Kaling. Mindy Kaling has lived many lives: the obedient child of immigrant professionals, a timid chubster afraid of her own bike, a Ben Affleck–impersonating Off-Broadway performer and playwright, and, finally, a comedy writer and actress prone to starting fights with her friends and coworkers with the sentence “Can I just say one last thing about this, and then I swear I’ll shut up about it?”
