A popular place for West Middle School students to go is DTP. Isabella Tulchinsky, a 7th grader at West Middle School, said: “On half days a popular place for students to go is DTP; especially Panera and Starbucks.”
When I asked her what she does on half-days, she replied “On half days I usually go to Maya’s Deli in DTP, then get a cupcake at cupcake station, and window shop around town. Sometimes I go to the library to work on projects. I usually hang out with friends for a few hours immediately after school gets out, them hang out with my family when they get home.”
