In the corner of some store windows in the Centre County area is a little red sticker. It announces that the store honors the IMBC Community Card -- a card that is a mystery to some and a benefit to others.

In the slushy tundra of State College, it's not unusual for people to warm themselves with thoughts of spring break in balmy Florida or sultry Cancun.
