Bistro

In 1985, Willamette students Eric and John caught up with good idea.  That was to make a place where students could hang out in the evening.  They didn't have a caffee shop on campus.  They wanted to hang out and buy snacks at night.  In the fall of 1986, the Bistro opened for the first time.  The Willamette students can work in  this shop today.   Today, it has been nearly twenty years since the Bistro started business.  There were some events in the Bistro.   Many students are using the Bistro now.
