Pick up a coffee and browse the books at Scribbles Coffee. The tables let you scribble with crayons, making it a relaxed place to start your morning.
10:20
Walk two minutes to Franklin Square Deli for a sandwich or soup. They offer quick, courteous service and have a large local customer base, so going early helps you avoid the lunch rush.
11:00
Take a 23-minute walk to the Student Memorial Garden. It is a quiet space dedicated to members of the Kent State Community, offering a peaceful spot to sit and reflect away from the main thoroughfares.
Local tip
The walk from the deli to the garden takes about 23 minutes. If you prefer a shorter walk, you could stay near the downtown area and visit Spark Innovation Studio (16 minutes from anchor) instead, but the garden is more serene.
