College Place, USA

Many of you are under the impression that Walla Walla is a small town. While that might be partially true (although don't try to convince Sydney it's a small town), we are large enough to have a suburb, ironically named College Place. If you have only been to town once or twice, you are still probably confused by the fact that Whitman is not in fact in College Place, although it is indeed a college place. College Place, WA is on the complete opposite side of Walla Walla and is named accordingly. It features its own college - Walla Walla University. Tonight, we are heading all the way down Rose street to WWU.

Here's a quick word map of the town, so you can picture our travels tonight (no Lewis & Clark trail walking this time). Main street runs parallel to HWY 12. In between Main St and HWY 12 is another parallel street. Rose Street. Rose Street starts at Whitman and ends at WWU. Literally. WWU is close enough to walk to; you might be slightly winded if you jogged there, and you would definitely be a rockstar in my book if you could sprint the distance. We are doing none of those. We are driving.

So if you're in town, jump on the Valley Transit Route 1 and head to the match tonight. 7pm. Be there. And if you can't be there, be here - on the blog. Go Whitties!!
