to show his audience that they are
more powerful than they knew.
According to Karges, most
people only use ten to twenty per
cent of their brain and he would
like to show how to use the other
eighty to ninety percent that is
controlled by the subconscious.
The message that he gives of
ordinary people being capable of
extraordinary things is a very
popular one especially among
college students.
Karges was named Entertainer

Pandora’s Box, a gourmet coffee
shop, opened its doors to Carrollton
coffee lovers five weeks ago. The
coffee shop serves Colombian,
French Roast, and flavored coffees
as well as a variety of specialty cof
fee drinks such as cappuccino,
frappuccino, mocha, latte, and
espresso.
This quaint shop has a unique
appeal and One that anyone is able to
appreciate, especially college stu
dents-low price. A cup of coffee,
even if its flavored, goes for just 75
cents and students only pay 65 cents.
Refills are a mere 50 cents and, as
anyone who frequents any other gour

The quality of the brew is not sacri

Karges
for his unique style, named “salt
water music,” has been a favorite
around college campuses for
nearly 15 years.
The acoustic charm of Suggs is
said to be a mixture of “rock, pop,
blues, and folk music...all with a
sunburn.” For some, saltwater
music may conjure up images of
Jimmy Buffet and pina coladas,
but Suggs comments that his mu
sic “is more a feeling than a sub
ject.”

flute and harpsichord.
Mann said of this arrangement, “I

owner, imports all of her coffee beans
from Illinois. “Oh, no. We don’t use
store bought coffee here,” she said.
“I opened up Pandora’s Box be
cause I love coffee and it’s some
thing that I’ve always wanted to
do.”
Pandora’s Box offers a very re
laxed atmosphere in which every
one is made to feel welcome. “There
is no reason to feel uptight in here,”
said Carroll. For example, “my
hours are usually from 2 to 8 p.m.,
but if anyone is in here after eight,
I won’t close up, particulary during
test time for the college students
because they like to have their cof
fee and stay late to study.”
She also says that, along with
the rich aroma of fresh coffee brew
ing, lively conversation amongst the
customers fills the small shop often
and she doesn’t hesitate to join in.

In ancient Greek mythology,
Pandora was a beautiful woman sent
down to earth with a box that she
opened and released all of the evil
spirits that it contained and when
she closed the box only the spirit of
Hope remained. Carroll said the
shop was named in an effort to prove
that there are no evil spirits inside
Pandora’s Box.
The shop was previously lo
cated in a premium spot on Adamson
Square, but went out of business,
probably due to high overhead costs.
Now in its second location and in
the hands of its third owner, this
version of Pandora’s Box is likely
to succeed.
Pandora’s Box is now located

locally at A Likely Story Bookstore.
"The set has sold far more copies
than I had ever expected. Many people
who are not very experienced in lis

how much pleasure they have gotten
from these discs. These comments
have meant more to me than the actual
sale figures of the sets, gratifying as
that is," Mann said.
Admission to the concert is free
which is open to the public.
