Wireless Zone, an independent Verizon Wireless store, will offer a 10 percent discount for UT students, faculty and staff through Wednesday, Oct. 10, on all accessories.
Rice Blvd. will feature Japanese-inspired cuisine such as sushi, rolls and bento boxes. Check out the menu. Owner Jun Park said he wants his customers to enjoy a great Japanese meal in his restaurant.
