Last Sunday was supposed to be the final showdown between Fairfield University students and their neighbors, the town's beach residents, at the annual Clam Jam. It turned out to be a wash.
Friday night, the music beamed like a beacon from the Levee, calling people from the quad and townhouses as it echoed through the air. In the dim lights, the band Seeking Homer played in front of a pair of old wooden skies hanging over the wall, while the crowd moved freely to the music. After the performance, the band sat down to tackle the most feared interview this side of the beach: 20 Questions.
From happening bar, to snack bar and coffee bar? The Levee, amid controversy, is struggling to find its niche. There is an investigation underway concerning a discrepancy on the part of staff members and patrons at the Levee, said Matthew Dinnan, associate dean of students and permittee of the Levee Pub.
