From what I've been told, the marketing campaign for 1280 should be quite impressive. Apparently we've had a host of student input and a lot of interest in pushing the new establishment.

You will remember Q's for the rest of your life, but when you walk into 1280 in September, it won't look or feel anything like Q's did. It's not Quarters anymore, it's 1280.

This isn't a simple name change. It's an entirely new establishment.

Everyone needs to stop complaining about the way Quarters was. Until the new establishment opens (with new menu, marketing, management, design, staff and name) you have no right to criticize what the service and menu will be like.

Stop with all the pessimism, it's irritating.
