Overcrowding causing growing pains for Coastal Katie Estabrook

REPORTER |@katieestabrook

As student enrollment and faculty employment continues to climb, overcrowding is becoming a prevalent issue at Coastal. With multiple construction projects aimed to fix this problem currently underway, administration and faculty have had to be creative with space allocation. Because of this, some classes are now being held in the library, student union and even in the dorms. Associate Professor of Communication and incoming Chair of the Communication Department, Dr. Wes Fondren said that these locations offer a unique classroom experience. “I have been extremely im-

pressed with how the university has tackled this problem,” said Fondren. “I teach a class in the movie theatre and it’s a super cool room. I’m able to show movie clips and have great sound, which you wouldn’t have in a normal classroom. There will be classrooms going on in meeting rooms in the dorms, in part of the library and even the student union will have a couple places where classes will be held. I’ve been impressed with their creativity and their willingness to be flexible.” Classrooms are not the only thing being impacted by the overcrowding. Some professors will be forced to give up their offices and hold office hours elsewhere until the

new buildings are completed. Fondren expressed that he thinks this could be something positive for students, even though it may not seem that way. “I think this, in some ways, might help student retention,” said Fondren. “Faculty members will end up being more available online and if you think about how most students want to meet with the faculty members, they want someone they can chat with or can log on to the Moodle forum or they can email. Faculty will also have office hours in the library, dorms, or other areas on campus. As odd as it might sound, one of the surprise effects might be that the faculty members end up being where students are at

more, rather than them having to come to us.” Because of the immediate need for space, even Coastal’s administration make sacrifices. According to Fondren, Dean Overton is doing all that he can to help the issue with space. “Even the dean had a temporary wall put up in his office to cut it in half so that he could share his office with someone else,” said Fondren. “Even from the top-down, his willingness to do something unusual for a while to get through this is very encouraging.” Although inconvenient for some, the overcrowding is tempoSEE OVERCROWDING I PAGE 3

On February 29, 2016, the Student Government Association passed a bill requiring the department of facilities planning and management to post projects affecting roads to the website of major construction projects. The interest of creating the construction notice bill began during the construction of the culde-sac on Chanticleer Drive. On December 2, 2015, an email was sent out to the student body to give them notice of the construction. Prior to that date, there had been no explicit notice given by the department of facilities planning and management to the student population regarding the construction.

IN THIS ISSUE

According to the bill, “the deparment of facilities planning and management will be required to send mass notification one month prior to the start of any planned major construction projects.” The bill states that road construction must be included and required to post their status on the website of major construction projects. Emergency construction projects are the only exception to the bill. A request was made to the department of facilities planning and management to maintain a separate, up to date and easily accessible database of planned construction projects on their website that would be updated on a daily basis. The website would include a search feature of all current projects.

Miss Coastal Carolina University 2015 will be hosting a public speaking seminar. Natalie Francis-Harris is a communication student currently working on her capstone. “I chose to do a public speaking seminar as my capstone because my career interest is in hosting, presenting and entertaining large audiences,” said Francis-Harris. The event will be open to everyone in all majors seeking any career. “This seminar will be an opportunity to grow in your public speaking skills, reaching out to all of the common concerns and fears of public speaking,” said Francis-Harris. The speakers at the seminar will be covering a wide variety of topics. The topics covered will be, how to get rid of stage fright, how to build a better speech, how to keep the attention of a larger audience, how to sell yourself in a job interview, how to give the sales pitch of your life and how communication skills are vital to your career. “I absolutely love public speaking and the reality of engaged and effective face to face communication,” said Francis-Harris. “As a graduate, employers will be expecting us to be able to give professional presentations and represent your company and self confidently.” In the Fall 2015 semester, Francis-Harris took Elizabeth Muckenstrum’s advanced public speaking class. In the class, Muckenstrum discussed the Toastmasters International Pub-

lic Speaking Association. Francis-Harris then discovered that this was the company she wanted to work with on her capstone. Francis-Harris said Toastmasters is an amazing organization to be affiliated with. “They have over 15,400 clubs throughout 153 countries,” said Francis-Harris. “They introduce you to huge opportunities in networking, job searching and public speaking practices.” Francis-Harris has invited Toastmasters speakers from South Carolina. Professor at Kaplan University, entrepreneur and corporate executive, David Premo, will be presenting his research about how communication skills are vital to your career. The speakers at the seminar also include, the President of the Grand Strand Toastmasters Club, Galina Malchikova, the Toastmasters Speakers Chair, Beth Ruffin, the Dean of Students at Francis Marion University, Teresa Johnson Ramey, inspirational speaker and trainer, Elena Brown, a real estate professional, Crystal Frechette and a National Account Director

of Sales, Rex Gale. Muckenstrum will also be speaking at the seminar. In the fall 2016 semester, a Toastmasters Club will be available for faculty and students. “This club will give you the chance to present different types of speeches in a comfortable setting that welcomes feedback and growth,” said Francis-Harris. “The fun tactics that Toastmasters uses for engaged learning, creates a fun experience for everyone.” Francis-Harris said the club hopes to be going to seminars and conferences throughout the year to continue being influenced by great speakers who have emerged from the Toastmasters organization. “Make the most of your life by attending this event and discovering the skills to success,” said Francis-Harris. “Build a better life through communication and become the best you can be.” The seminar will be held on April 3 from 12 p.m. – 4 p.m. in Brittain Hall Room 114. If you would like to attend the seminar, please email Natalie Francis-Harris at nvfrancis@g.coastal.edu to register.

Fondren said that the construction and renovations will be completed in the near future. “Next year, it will get considerably better,” said Fondren. “When Britain II is built, Smith opens back up and the science building opens along with the other projects that should be starting by then, we should see an easing of the pressure by spring of next year.” While Coastal may be experiencing growing pains, many other universities are having problems with student retention and recruitment. Fondren stressed that, although it may be uncomfortable, growth is a good problem to have. “I have friends at other schools where their problem is that they have empty classrooms and their universities aren’t growing,” said Fondren. “We’re seeing a lot of universities get smaller but what is happening here for us, is that we are experiencing the painful positive of growth, like when a kid’s shoes are too tight. In a weird sort of way, this is exciting. The problems that we have, are the problems that you want to look for in a school.”

signed with Coastal on signing day. There are several returning players from last season hoping to achieve this spot. They are, Chance Thrasher, Josh Roper, Josh Stilley, Austin Bradley and Tyler Keane. Head Football Coach, Joe Moglia said it is too early to tell who the starter will be. “Chance was hurt and it took a while before he was able to throw,” said Moglia. “In the offseason, Josh had hurt his foot. The rest of them are very inexperienced. Now, Tyler has a little experience. The reality is, he hasn’t gone out with our entire offense.” Running back De’Angelo Henderson will be returning for his final season in the fall. “This is definitely the best time of the year,” said Henderson. “Once we get back from losing, going through winter conditioning and finally getting out here for spring ball, this is the most exciting time.” Wide receiver Bruce Mapp said he feels like a little kid again. “Spring practice is a great time to start fresh and since it’s your last one you want to make an impression and add to the legacy that you’ve made here at Coastal,” said Mapp. With spring practice underway, the 2016 football schedule was released earlier this month. Coastal will be playing as an FCS Independent due to their transition into the Sun Belt Conference. They will not be able to play in the FCS Playoffs as well. The Chanticleers open their season in Texas against Lamar on September 3. The first home game of the season will be on September 10 against Florida A&M. The 2016 season includes home games against in-state rivals Charleston Southern and Furman, with a televised Thursday night game against former Big South rival Liberty on November 17. The Chanticleers will travel to Jacksonville State, who lost to North Dakota State in last season’s FCS National Championship game on September 17. Coastal’s final FCS home game will be against Hampton University on November 26.

website, but it is not easily found. Students or faculty would have to search for construction on campus and then go through a list of past and current projects. Some of the links are not up to date and only include major projects including academic buildings and renovations. In regards to the cul-de-sac project, the plans were not listed. Instead, it was listed under the master plan, which is listed under the officer of president reports. Majority of the projects listed did not have an email sent out to the student body. For example, majority of students were unaware of the asbestos breakout in the Singleton building and that a renovation was to begin in fall 2015. Students found themselves confused when trying to find professors offices that were posted online, but not accessible. Senator representing the honors college, Hunter Ofcarcik, has been working on the bill. Ofcarcik said the university did not give enough notice regarding the construction of the cul-desac. Ofcarcik said the whole theme of the bill is transparency. “It is opening the current window of what we can already see,” said Ofcarcik. Ofcarcik conducted a sample study of 100 Coastal Carolina students to get an idea of the effects the construction projects have been on the student body. 74 percent of students said they were unaware of the construction of the cul-de-sac and the constriction on Chanticleer Drive. 67 percent of students said they were not given sufficient notice regarding the construction of the cul-de-sac. 55 percent of students stated that their commute to class had been negatively affected by the construction of the cul-de-sac. 70 percent of students believed the shuttle routes had been negatively affected by the construction. The results have a nine percent margin of error. Overall, the bill will provide current information on current construction projects and provide more notice for future construction projects.

Coastal students possibly exposed to mumps Kaley Lawrimore

REPORTER | @kaleylawrimore

A confirmed case of mumps, a contagious viral infection, has been identified in connection with Coastal Carolina University. The Department of Health and Environmental Control released a letter on Friday alerting students and staff of the possible exposure to anyone who was on campus between March 10 and March 14. According to Jim Beasley, the Public Information Officer for DHEC, there was no confirmed case of mumps in any Coastal student, but there was potential exposure to the infection. Mumps is spread through saliva or mucus, and can be passed around through talking, coughing,

sneezing, kissing, sharing drinks or eating utensils, according to the letter. “People with mumps can spread it for two to three days before the salivary glands begin to swell and five days after the swelling begins,” the letter stated. Any student who develops parotid swelling should avoid close contact with others and notify their health care provider or Student Health Services. For any questions, call the Student Health Center at 843-3496543 or DHEC’s Pee Dee Region Health Epidemiology Office at 843915-8888.

Coastal Carolina’s Wiggins arrested, suspended following assault charge Kaley Lawrimore

REPORTER | @kaleylawrimore

Coastal Carolina men’s basketball’s starting point gaurd has been arrested and suspended indefinitely. 21-year-old Shivaughn Wiggins was arrested by Horry County police and booked at J. Reuben Long for third degree assault and battery Saturday morning, according to jail records. On March 25, Conway police responded to Coastal Carolina University’s Police Department in response to an assault at the Big Kahuna’s Club on Highway 544. According to the police report, the victim told officers Wiggins slapped her in the face multiple times and pushed her to the ground. The report states the victim told police when she was at Big Kahuna’s Club, Wiggins approached her and slapped her in the face. Police said the victim stated as she was walking through the parking lot after leaving the club, Wiggins approached her again and she attempted to push him away. The victim said Wiggins slapped her again causing a minor cut to the inside of her lip, and then pushed her to the ground, according

to the police report. The report states a witness told police that Wiggins did slap the victim multiple times and push her to the ground. Cliff Ellis, the team’s head coach, announced Saturday that Wiggins had been indefinitely suspended from all team activities for a violation of team rules. In a press conference held after the CIT semifinal against UC-Irvine, Ellis said he couldn’t go into specifics, but spoke about his plans for Wiggins. “I really can’t make comments in regards to this situation,” said Ellis. “All I can say is this, after forty-something years coaching basketball, my biggest issue has been boyfriend/girlfriend stuff and how that plays out is a process. I have twenty-five people, whether it be players or coaches, and I’m going to love every one of them. I’m going to love Shivaughn, I’m going to teach Shivaughn and in this case, I’m going to discipline Shivaughn. That’s all I have to say about that.” Coastal Carolina’s men’s basketball season ended Sunday when they lost to UC-Irvine 66-47.

Coastal’s soccer programs score a new sports complex Dameon Ouzts

REPORTER | @dame_demarco

Coastal’s soccer program has been exceptional for well over several seasons. The women’s team composed a 12-7-1 record over the past season, while the men’s team finished the season at 13-3-4. Both teams had a superb year and made the postseason, as the women’s team made it to the Big South tournament and the men’s team made it to the NCAA tournament. For years, it has been noted that other programs like basketball, football and baseball have gotten more attention and have received higher attendance rates at their games. Despite all of the success the soccer teams have had over the years, the soccer programs have not commanded the attention that the other teams have had. Now, it seems that both the men’s and women’s teams are about to get some well deserved recognition. Director of Coastal Carolina’s Athletics, Matt Hogue said the success of the two programs has been overlooked for long enough. “We’ve had a program under Coach Docking who’s been here for over seventeen seasons and that has been consistently a top twenty-five program that has the ability to compete,” said Hogue.

IAN BROOKING, THE CHANTICLEER

Coach of the men’s soccer team, Shaun Docking, has compiled an overall record of 249-121-29. He led the team to 17 Big South Championships, 12 NCAA tournaments and a winning percentage of .660 over the past 19 seasons. Hogue says that the success of the teams has given the university an incentive to look into building a new stadium to reward the programs. The men’s and women’s teams have been playing at the field across

from Brooks Stadium. “We just felt that this would give us a chance to really showcase soccer, to put it in a place where the facility would be easily accessible,” said Hogue. “It would be fan friendly and it would give us an opportunity to do a lot of the things that we want to do to provide them not just a great field and a place for fans to sit, but some of the other amenities that you want to have in a facility as well.” The new soccer complex is only

in the architectural stages, with no design sketches made available to the general public yet. Hogue said that it will more than likely be located across campus on Highway 501, near the tennis facility. The complex should be able to provide around 1,500 fans with a concessions and merchandise area, give players and officials on site locker rooms and offer offices for coaches. Construction is said to have a budget of five million dollars.

Coastal athletics is hosting a fan appreciation day during the baseball game against Gardner-Webb on Sunday, April 3. With praise usually directed at the players, this event will give a chance for athletics to say thank you to those dedicated and passionate fans that keep the program alive. Ashley Studebaker, a student who helped with the event, said that the teams will have a chance to express their gratitude to the fans. “It’s basically a day for the fans to come out and be recognized for their admiration and their loyalty to CCU athletics,” said Studebaker. “There will be different teams there and they will show videos of players from different teams saying thanks and other surprises like that.”

Studebaker wants everyone to know that fans are the backbone to any athletic program. “It’s going to be fun,” said Studebaker. “It’s not going to be a boring athletic event like some people may think. I want people to know that the day is for them. We’re going to have a bouncy house, face painting for the kids and Chauncey and the dance team and the cheerleaders will be there.” Studebaker said that there will be events like a mascot race and other fun events that are not normally at the games. The event begins at 12 p.m. when the gates open and will last the entirety of the game. Grab your friends and family and come out to enjoy a day full of fun fan activities!

Elijah Wilson hit the game winning shot with 2.2 seconds left to send Coastal Carolina to the 2016 final four of the College Insider Tournament. Wilson finished with 16 points, with eight of those points coming in around the last two minutes of the game. “Being in that situation when there is not much time left, I knew that something big needed to happen and luckily my teammates had the confidence in me to make the right plays on the offensive end,” said Wilson. After being down by two at the half, the Chanticleers had to fight for every point against Grand Canyon. Coastal Carolina went on a ten to two run in the middle of the second half to give them the 52-47 edge before the Lopes went on an 8-0 run themselves. “I hit the three-pointer and then I knocked down a couple more shots and I felt really confident to take that last shot,” said Wilson. “I’m glad that my teammates trusted me in taking it.” It was a physical contest between Coastal Carolina and Grand Canyon with both teams fighting on each possession and a total of 32 personal fouls called. Head Coach Cliff Ellis said it was a hard fought game and it was an excellent game of college basketball. “The fans enjoyed it and you could feel the electricity in the crowd,” said Ellis. “Both teams were going hard, battling with each other and that’s all you can ask for in a game like

REPORTER | @jessica_wetzler

Coastal Carolina hosted Stetson University this past weekend, March 24 – 26. With weather delays throughout the weekend, Coastal brought the heat on Thursday and defeated Stetson 11-2. During the first inning, Coastal made an incredible eight runs, leaving Stetson a lot to work on. Marks scored off of Remillard’s single. Chadwick scored a homerun to right field which allowed Owings and Remillard to score. Lancaster made the second homerun of the day, sending Cooke to home plate. Marks and Beaird finished the inning with the final two runs. Stetson made its only two runs at the top of the third. By the fifth inning, Coastal added another three runs by Owings, Cooke and Chadwick. The game would continue with no progression causing Coastal to win the first game of the series. “You give any college team five or six outs, you are going to be in trouble,” said Coach Gilmore. The next game would start

with a time adjustment due to the forecast, but would not delay a second victory for Coastal. Stetson would make two runs in the first inning. Coastal would follow with four runs. Marks, Paez and Remillard scored. Chadwick made the first homerun of the game. Young made a homerun in the second inning, sending Paez and Remillard to score. By the fourth inning, Coastal would score eight runs. These included three home runs made by Paez and Chadwick. Cooke made his first career home run at the top of the sixth, leaving Coastal with a total of six home runs. This would tie the universities current record and tie the NCAA record for two homeruns in one inning by Paez. Coastal defeated Stetson, 17-5. On the final game of the weekend series, Coastal would once again prove that they are in it to win it. By the first inning, six runs

Coastal season ends in CIT Semifinal Ian Brooking

REPORTER | @ian_brooking

Coastal Carolina’s men’s basketball season came to an end on March 27 after a 66-47 loss to UC-Irvine. The Chanticleers finished the season with an overall record 21-12. With the loss, the careers of four seniors – Badou Diagne, Tristan Curtis, Marcus Freeman and Aaron Law – came to an end Sunday evening. “First, I would like to thank my teammates and the coaching stuff here at Coastal for all that they have done for me,” said Diagne, who scored 11 points in his final game as a Chanticleer. “It has been a quick four years and I am thankful for it. I’ve made many great memories here and I can’t be thankful enough for it.” The Chanticleers had a rough night shooting against UC-Irvine. Coastal Carolina went 27 percent from the floor and was 6 of 26 from the three-point range. Coastal was a man down tonight after junior guard Shivaughn Wiggins was arrested on Saturday morning for third degree assault and battery charges, according to Horry County Police Jail Records. Wiggins led the team in steals with 46 and averaged 12.4 points per game. “We’ve been going through adversity all year long,” said Diagne. “This team is all about the ‘Next Man Up’ mentality and the next man stepped up for us tonight.” The adversity Diagne is referring to are the injuries that plagued this team all year. Diagne missed senior night due to a bad ankle. “We did what we had to do to adjust,” said junior Colton RaySt. Cyr, who led all scorers with 16 points. “I got hurt earlier in the season. Marcus got hurt and Michel missed almost the entire season. Adversity is something we got used to. Tonight, the next man definitely stepped up for us.” Not only did Coastal have it rough when it came to shooting, rebounding was not in favor of the Chanticleers Sunday. UC-Irvine has four players that are six-foot-ten and over, including seven-foot-six Mamadou Ndiaye. Coastal’s tallest players are Josh Coleman and Kevin Holmes, Jr., who are both six-foot-nine. “It was something we hadn’t faced all season,” said Diagne. “Two players that are seven-foot-two and

seven-six? That’s something you don’t face every day. That was very difficult to go up against tonight.” The 2015-2016 season was a historic season for the program here at Coastal Carolina. From traveling to Cuba to then play in the final four run in the CIT, this team has definitely made its’ mark in the Chanticleers basketball history. “I am very proud of our team and what they’ve accomplished this season,” said Head Coach Cliff Ellis. “We have fought injuries all year long and we never had our full team together and yet this team was able to win twenty-one games and make it to the final four of the CIT. That’s definitely something to be proud of.” When asked about Shivaughn’s status, Coach Ellis had this to say: “I really can’t make comments in regards to this situation. All I can say is this, after forty-something years coaching basketball, my biggest issue has been boyfriend/girlfriend stuff and how that plays out is a process.” No timeframe has been given on the status of Wiggins. “I love Shivaughn to death,” said Ellis. “I have twenty-five people, whether it be players or coaches, and I’m going to love every one of them. I’m going to love Shivaughn, I’m going to teach Shivaughn and in this case, I’m going to discipline Shivaughn. That’s all I have to say about that.” Coastal finished the season with 20 plus wins for the fifth time in the last seven years. For the seniors, they have accomplished many things during their time here at Coastal Carolina University. Two Big South Tournament Championships, two NCAA Tournament appearances and now a final four appearance in the CIT. The Chanticleers will now transition to the Sun Belt Conference for the 20162017 season. The Coastal Carolina’s men’s basketball team will commemorate this season at the team awards’ banquet on Wednesday, April 13 at 7 p.m. in the HTC Center. Registration is open to the public and tickets are $45 per person or $320 for a table of eight. Please R.S.V.P. by Friday, April 8 by calling the Coastal Carolina Ticket Office at 843-347-8499.

were made by Paez, Young, Remillard, Chadwick, Lancaster and Cooke. Stetson would follow with two runs and would be reciprocated by Coastal with another two runs made by Young and Remillard. Young made his six home run of the season during the fifth inning, increasing the score to 10-2 lead. Owings scored in the bottom of the sixth and Ewing scored in the

bottom of the seventh. Coastal closes out the weekend against Stetson with a final game win of 12-2, leaving Coastal winning all three games for the series. The weekend was filled with record breaking plays for the offensive and defensive players. Gilmore said he was very pleased with how this weekend turned out.

The Chanticleers blocked 10 of Grand Canyon’s shots with four of them coming from senior Marcus Freeman. Freeman came off the bench Wednesday night to finish with ten points, eight rebounds and four blocks. “They were a very physical team,” said Freeman. “It was expected. We knew we had to step up our game.” During the 10-2 run, Freeman had five points, including the shot that gave Coastal a temporary lead. “I was feeling it during that time,” said Freeman. “I was getting into a rhythm and I felt good. I was impressed with my performance. I struggle with consistency and last game was pretty rough, so this game was really good for me.” With the win, Coastal Caroli-

Basement’s recent release, Promise Everything, kicks the peripheral daydream of experimentation to the curb to explore blending past hits into one album. Promise Everything is a worthwhile yet unwieldy comeback since 2012’s, Colourmeinkindness. Promise Everything boasts what already makes Basement a great band to begin with. Andrew Fisher’s raspy howls, lyrical entanglements of desperation and attraction, and instrumentation that bends, but does not break. These principles are on full display from the get go, as the boisterous and melodic ‘Brother’s Keeper’ sounds like a savory mixture between Basement’s old and new music, while successfully igniting a compelling tone for the record. The album’s first single, ‘Promise Everything,’ exudes the band’s punk roots with wails and breakdowns that would make I Wish I Could Stay Here heartthrobs melt. There is a reason this song was picked as the first single. ‘Aquasun’ brilliantly carries sounds linked to the band’s 2014 EP Further Sky and would perfectly find its place in an intricate coming of age film. ‘Blinded Eye’ is a fun track that evokes straight alternative rock with a spice of grunge. ‘Lose Your Grip,’ another 90’s flavored hit, possesses a catchy guitar riff that never reaches its peak. Promise Everything balances the moments that peak with the bits that fall short by evoking a multitude of melodic and alternative rock tastes, while maintaining the punk routes that defined their sound.

Jurassic World puts a modern twist on the original Jurassic Park movies from 1993, 1997 and 2001. The modern twist has the characters set in a Jurassic Park theme park, where tourists can get an up close look on different types of dinosaur creatures. Allowing them to see the dinosaurs in their natural habitat running around in the wild. Their mother sends the main characters, Zach and Gray, played by Nick Robinson and Ty Simpkins, on a trip to Jurassic World. Zack and Gray are underneath the watch of their Aunt Claire, played by Bryce Dallas Howard. Claire is one of the managers of the theme park. She does not receive the kids well and does not really try to keep up with them. This allows Zach and Gray to roam the world by themselves with no parental supervision. They end up getting stuck in a little bit of trouble with the dinosaurs. The people who work at the theme park develop a new breed of dinosaur that could be potentially deadly, if not kept in it’s cage. In my opinion, this film was definitely not better than the original films. Being a kid that was born in the 90’s, the Jurassic Park movies were very scary and suspenseful. Jurassic World really did not have as much suspense and scare built into it. The plot line was kind of predictable. The only thing I really enjoyed was the innovative idea behind it. I really would want to go to an amusement park like that, but a lot of people would disagree after watching this film.

Mammy’s Kitchen has been serving the Myrtle Beach area since 1953. It has become a tradition for tourists and locals. Mammy’s Kitchen started out as a curbside service restaurant. Over the past 60 years, it has grown into a large buffet and kitchen. For as long as the restaurant has been open for, they surely have earned a proud reputation. Mammy’s Kitchen opened on Mother’s Day weekend in 1953, just before Hurricane Hazel hit. The original owner, Johnny Burris, who owned Peaches Corner Fame, built the restaurant. He encountered some health issues shortly thereafter forcing him to sell it to another family. During 2001, Mammy’s suffered damage from a tornado, but did not hesitate to jump right back. Mammy’s has become a place that cannot be shaken from its roots. Located on 10th avenue along North Kings Highway, Mammy’s opens bright and early for breakfast at 7 a.m. Make sure to go with an empty belly and a huge appetite. The breakfast menu is filled with an array of different types of buttermilk pancakes. They have Belgium Waffles, eggs, omelettes and breakfast sandwiches. Lunch begins being served at 11 a.m. offering burgers, patty melts and Mammy’s special Philly. For the late risers, the breakfast menu and buffet is offered until they close. Mammy’s is open from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. during the winter and 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. during the summer. Mammy’s also offers the option of an all you can eat buffet with many delicious southern style favorites for only $8.95. The regular menu prices range from $2 to $10 and the large portion sizes will not disappoint.

Irreplaceable Go to the left, to the left, definitely not to the right. This song is for all of those independent women out there who do not need a man. Beyoncé delivered in this anthem and made breaking up not seem as bad.

Crazy In Love ft. Jay-Z

Singe Ladies

This was close to the start of Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s beautiful love story. The beat of the song makes you want to shake your tail feather and go crazy for the one you love.

Try not to think about Justin Timberlake in a black onesie doing a parody of this song. Single Ladies was another anthem telling the men out there that time waits for no one.

Halo

Regardless if you have a booty or not, this song makes you want to move something. It almost has a sexy and sultry feel to it.

This song deserves to be on this list simply because her vocals in this song gives everyone chills. You cannot deny it. This is a song that you can sing in the shower at the top of your lungs.
