Good morning, McDowell South! Step away from the coffee mug and put down the cookie dreams—the Blue Bean Cafe is CLOSED today. We know, we know... how will you survive without your mid-morning fuel? Take a deep breath, hang in there, and save those cravings for tomorrow, when we’ll be back and fully stocked with all your favorite snacks and drinks to get you through the day. See you during tutorial tomorrow, and have a great day!
