The Vox Box

Only in California…

... Can you find a "Smash Shack." Sara's Smash Shack to be exact. Located in San Diego, California a buisness unlike any other is thriving due to the failing economy. Why? Everyone is stressed out about the economy, their jobs and life in general. At Sarah's Smash Shack, clients can come in, "order" a couple items of the "menu", head into one of the "break rooms" and smash those items to relieve stress! (Now that's my kind of therapy...)
Care to see the "menu"?



In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
