During my time in school, downtown Sylva establishments were divided, in that some really liked and welcomed students, and others tried be as inaccessible and unwelcoming as possible to anyone not at least in their mid-30s. Of course, the year after I graduate, alcohol was now being sold both on, and across from campus, at convenience stores and restaurants, making it beyond easy and much safer for the students to get some brews. In turn, this has helped contribute to the downfall of the downtown Sylva restaurants, which has been sad to see happen. Overall, it's really interesting to see how things change on a yearly basis in Cullowhee and the neighboring towns.

Please note that none of this includes that "other" liquor that is available, but not sold in stores
OL FU knows how good that stuff is...I was able to intergrate it in with the wine & cheese crowd at Furman last season!
