To prevent this from happening again, the RAs drew up a Turkey Hill schedule.
Turkey Hill is sometimes known as Harvest Goose, Chicken Mountain, or Jerky Hill.
Turkey Hill is also part of the American Pie traditions. After the part in the song that says "I went down to the sacred store", some people like to yell "TURKEY HILL!", thus establishing that Turkey Hill is a sacred store.
The manager of said store (#79) has worked there for 25 years and has seen many a CTY student return years later. These include a NASA scientist, Texas congressman, and an NYU professor.
Currently, it is here where the Passionfruit drinks are bought.
