The Oasis Diner

Staff Reporter Paige Pearison

My parents and I stopped at the Oasis Diner in Plainfield, Indiana on our way home from Coatesville this weekend. I'm usually partial to just stopping at Bob Evans or Cracker Barrel, so I won't lie, I was pretty upset we stopped here. Oasis Diner was friendly the moment we walked in, a small restaurant, but people working there with large hearts. We were immediately greeted and got seated. The waiter made good conversation with us about sports. I decided to try the Kansas City, Loaded Biscuits and Gravy. This meal is biscuits topped with gravy, home fries, cheese, and your choice of egg! It took a small amount of time for our food to get to us. It was freshly cooked, looked and smelled so good. The moment of truth was now, and I definitely thanked my parents for pulling into the Oasis Dinner. The portions were huge, the food was great, the people were friendly. I will most definitely be going back soon.

Steph Curry Vs. Donald Trump

Staff Reporter Courtney Palmer

    When Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank referred to Trump as an asset to the United States, Curry had a differing opinion. “I agree with that description, if you remove the “et” from “asset,” Curry stated in response to Plank’s previous statement. Curry then further said that he has spent multiple hours on the phone with his team at Under Armour, trying to figure out where everyone stood on the matter. Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, also sponsored by Under Armour, criticized the newly elected president. Although Curry is controversial to Trump, he says his loyalty remains with Under Armour despite the comment, due to the company’s support of his religious views.
