The grill is the heart of Highland. With fellow college students behind the stainless steel and glass wall, the atmosphere of Highland feels like a hot hang out spot. All the parties that were attended that night by all the various people, most likely had music. Exciting dance music that got people interacting, and that is what Highland wants. Depending on who is working behind the counter depends on the mood of highland. The cooks get to play their own music through a huge speaker system to set the mood. They deserve a lot of credit because they have to scream over the music, and the crowd to get someones attention. So while I am waiting for my burrito and hanging out with my friends, I can tap my foot along with the beat, or belt out lyrics with my girlfriends. Music is such a large part of all students lives and it’s almost uncomfortable when there is no music playing. When the place is packed there are often songs by Lady Gaga, Eminem, or other top 40 artists that are extremely popular. People will start dancing, singing, and then singing with other people who are complete strangers, just because that is an okay thing to do at Highland. Highland is a safe haven so I can act like a complete fool at the wee hours of the morning with out people judging me. Truth is all of the people who are there on Friday and Saturday nights love walking in to a music filled environment. Its comfortable and its what this generation knows.
