Sadly, never again will students trying to grab a few beers to take back to their dorms be greeted by Sam and his signature, “How are you, my friend!”
Le Petit Market in the Hearst Food Court (aka the Northside Asian Grotto) has closed down for good and Berkeley Northsiders — especially the underage crowd — are in dismay. One Reddit user commented, “It is as if millions of underage drinkers suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.” We love a good Joseph Conrad joke anyday, but the reverberations have yet to be felt throughout the campus — especially at Cloyne. With a concert scheduled to take place at Memorial Glade tonight, where are people going to get their beer?
Apparently, Sam moved because of higher rent. First Top Dog serving pizza and now this — things are starting to change at Northside.
Word on the street is that Sam will be moving to Irvine, possibly to open a shop catering to Anteaters — yes, UC Irvine’s mascot is the anteater. We wish Sam luck.
