Wow, in his first game of his NFL career, Julian Edelman puts up a 8 catch, 98 yard outing for the New England Patriots. He came through for 4 first downs in the game. Very impressive young talent, and yet another QB from the Kent State system that is making a splash in the NFL at another position (or positions, Joshua Cribbs). And then there's arguably the best TE in the NFL (who played basketball for Kent State). I guess I can't complain, all these players are bringing national and international recognition to the Kent State University and football program.
So Edelman is in a great situation, and is primed to be one of the great 3rd down receivers in the NFL. Yes, I said it. He is a part of the New England Patriots system now, he will fill in nicely for Wes Welker who has a similar game, speed, and the ability to go across the middle and make defenders miss.
Congratulations to Julian, and it looks like we may be seeing 2 Kent Staters battle in an upcoming Super Bowl. It just doesn't look like it will be Joshua Cribbs anytime soon, though.

Downtown Kent Updates!
I think it's about time I provide some updates to everyone. Downtown Kent has been going through some positive changes of late:
Acorn Alley is coming together, and should be open during the Fall semester. In Acorn Alley there will be a sushi place, a Pita Pit, an ice cream and sweets shop, vegetarian restaurant, clothing company, and more. This development is the 2nd phase to be completed by Ron Burbick, local Kent Entrepreneur.
The first phase is up and running, with a newly developed location for the Chamber of Commerce, a clothing company, a new space for the dry cleaning shop, a re-located Jason's Barber Shop, and more.
The Old Hotel may be next?!?
157 Lounge is a brand new chic bar and lounge in the downtown. It is across the street and to the right of Water Street Tavern. 157 is very classy, has tons of space, very inexpensive drink offerings, and will have unique events in the coming year.
The Pufferbelly Incubator is full, and opening shortly. This will be a great space for up and coming entrepreneurs to share space and resources to get a great foundation for their businesses. A Martinel incubator is now filling up fast. Check it out at Krba.biz
And there are always great events happening in the downtown. Some of which include wine tastings, music festivals, parades, free movie nights, after hours networking, Kent Halloween, the Budweiser Clydesdales visits, and more! More information can be found at MainStreetKent.org
Not in the downtown, more news that can be good and bad. For those of you who loved Susan's Coffee and Tea, it is no longer in business. But, the great news is that Five Guys Burgers and Fries bought out Susan's and will be taking over the space!
And on the Kent State campus, there are significant changes in the mix. Many of you lived in and remember the small group dorms. Many memories, and some great memories for me as well. Those buildings have been bulldozed, and it appears the only remaining building is Stewart Hall. I wonder what is in the mix for that land.
That's all for now!
