According to Lance Armstrong, the color yellow has taught him what it means to suffer. Suffering hasn't come for Armstrong in a 125-mile-long stage of the Tour de France as he chases the customary yellow jersey of the tour's pack leader.
If liquor stores - which dot almost every street corner in some locales - are indicative of a party-loving population, then the abundance of ice cream shops on Grand River Avenue must mean East Lansing residents have a fetish for the frozen treat. Along the mile or so of shops that are on, or surround, Grand River Avenue north of campus, five ice cream parlors, not to mention the on-campus MSU Dairy Store, battle for business as the rising cost of ice cream supplies cut profits.
