The Ave is a street that runs through the retail district that caters to the myriad needs of the University of Washington's student body. Do not be confused by the fact that the ``Ave'' is actually a ``Way'', and indeed runs perpendicular to all the other Avenues in the city.

An artificial intelligence professor at the University once remarked that one could easily write a program to find an espresso cart on the Ave:

  1. Go to the Ave.
  2. Start moving in any direction.
  3. Stop when you reach an espresso cart.
I have even heard rumors of a proof that this an optimal algorithm.
