An Unexpected Celebration in Beaver Canyon

My wife and I were about to turn off the TV late Sunday when I saw the news scrolling across the bottom of the screen on ESPN: Osama bin Laden was dead. I watched President Obama’s speech confirming the news on TV, but if I’d opened a window, I might have heard the noise of a celebration downtown.
A scroll through Twitter brought up a number of photos from Penn Staters celebrating the news in downtown State College. The impromptu gathering was centered on Beaver Avenue, and it looks like something those students won’t forget.
