Sad: they’re closing the CoHo for good.

I remember the CoHo as a dark, very nearly dingy place with a creaky wooden bar and old wooden tables covered inches-thick in what seemed like decades’ worth of clear lacquer. It smelled faintly of smoke-stained authenticity on a campus that was otherwise maybe a little too young and clean. (Well, Synergy and Columbae aside.) That was in 1995. They renovated it while I was there, but kept the old tables, kept the student art. When I visited last May, they’d moved everything around again. The place was almost unrecognizable. Sterile, institutional. But still, it was the CoHo!

Now its loss is complete. Bye bye, CoHo.

Incidentally, here are the second and third Stanford commercials in the “we’re-so-awesome-we-don’t-have-to-take-ourselves-seriously” vein. Yay!
