Walking Past Witt

         Incoming freshmen and Wittenberg students alike are often times hesitant to leave campus and see what Springfield has to offer.  Over the summer, I participated in an internship through Wittenberg that opened my eyes to a different side of Springfield that I had never seen before.  I ate at many local restaurants; most of which were better dining experiences that what I have had on the infamous Bechtle Avenue or as many Witt students know it as the Mecca of American fast food and chain restaurants.  I also learned about the history of Springfield at the Heritage Center in downtown; something I recommend that every student go explore.  So many opportunities to explore Springfield are within walking distance from Wittenberg's campus but are rarely taken advantage of.  I am hoping that this article will bring awareness of the great local events and locations Springfield has to offer to Wittenberg students and hopefully draw them outside of the Wittenberg bubble.  Examples of these events/locations include the Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings; the Clark County Library; Un Mundo Cafe; Coffee Expressions; Fountain on Main.
