  It looks pretty spacious when you drive by on Benbow. I don't know how I missed it before. |

Damn, I think that was a picture of our tree on the strip! Take a picture of that tree again. And where's our bench that used to be there? They need to put that bench back! Man we used to cruise the hell out of that strip! Does anyone remember my red 67 Mustang? Thinking about that car and those days is bringing tears to my eyes. I don't think cars are even allowed on the strip anymore?

Put it like this, I hear wat yall saying about all this and I agree as current students were are spoiled but I came along during transition, I know Scott B but I also know I would have never stayed there, I lived in the brand new dorm (Pride) last year but I can say too that the campus has changed before my eyes in the last year definitely, look how much the map has changed since my orientation in June 2004, I mean its not the same besides its 2005, u have a lot of standards to step up to, i mean no elevators in a dorm is ridiculous, but Barbee, Holland Morrow and Curtis are still like that, but you cant attract the same quality of students without that progress, be proud that ur alma mater is stepping up, I'm definitely proud of wat yall went through and as far as the strip in front of the bookstore and scotts, man it wasnt much to see there last year but i bet it used to be the spot, if yall want pics of where I stayed last year (As a freshman, hit me up)

It's a shame they don't have the Laurell Street strip anymore. That was the best thing about being a new student at A&T. The first two weeks of every semester, half the student body was out in front the bookstore until about 1 in the morning, watching the cars cruise through campus.

Thrilla,
Up until last year, the Laurel street strip was still the cruise spot. It just recently quietened down since they university started shutting down the street. I guess they figured cruising traffic + constrcution traffic + pedestrian traffic = tragedy waiting to happen. I remember freshan year after classes were over, if it was 60 degrees, e'rybody was out there. I loved it. The strip was one of the many great things about staying on campus. Its Hard to belive this is my last year coming up. Oh yeah, and I don't recognize campus anymore either, compared to how it looked when I came in as a freshman. SCOTT B!!!!!!

Nah ya'll,
The Strip ran between Scott and Cooper: past the Union: past the ROTC Bldg, Moore & Corbett and Haley Hall. You talking about fun! I guess if you all don't know that as the strip then it's been closed a looooooong time.

My freshman year was '92 and "The Strip" was in front of the bookstore at that time. The road between Cooper and Scott was only hittin after Gym Jams.

My frosh year was 90. The whole area from the strip in front of the bookstore to the strip itself was on fire the first month of school, homecoming, after any gym jam, and in the spring.
Small wonder it took me six years to get out of there.

i mean no elevators in a dorm is ridiculous, but Barbee, Holland Morrow and Curtis are still like that, When did they stop using the elevator in Barbee?  |

First Scott hall, now Holt! Man, I know someone who lost their virginity in that gym.
The front of it kind of looks like it could have been that Church on the corner of Benbow and Market. Is
that Church still there?
