While you're at home for summer break eating your parents out of house and home the businesses of State College are reeling without any customers. Already the Hallmark store on College Ave closed (who cares) and the next casualty appears to be Cereality. You're telling me a place that sells overpriced cereal didn't make it here? Someone call Ben Bernanke, it's clear we're in a depression.

As I drove down College Avenue earlier today I noticed that the door and windows of Cereality were covered with paper, which is usually the sign of a store closing. I took a picture, but it came out horribly, so maybe tomorrow. I was never in Cereality because, although I love my cereal, I just can't imagine paying that much for a bowl of Frosted Flakes. But anytime I walked by (with the exception of the week they opened) I really never saw many people in the place.

I think when Dunkin Donuts opened essentially across the street it was the end of Cereality. I don't care how comfortable your chairs are if it's between a bowl of Fruity Pebbles at Cereality and a bacon, egg and cheese on a cinnamon-raisin bagel at Dunkin' Donuts I'm going to DD every time.

So, for the three of you who enjoyed visiting Cereality you're just going to have to go somewhere else. I'm sure The Diner can overcharge you for Cap'n Crunch if you want.
