I don't know about cool but I always wind up at Sister's.
X2 - I love their food.
I really like Hook's BBQ.
As far as college kid cool - I don't know. BTW - great looking young couple - they would definitely enjoy Troy. I believe it is a fantastic university.
I got my degree from TSU (Troy State University), my son got his MAcc (graduate degree), and my daughter-in-law graduated from Troy.
