Herbert Hoover won America's hearts and votes when he promised a college-educated chicken in every pot and a kayak in every garage. Get a taste of the American dream with today's Groupon: for $29, you get a basic skills kayak class, plus 15% off merchandise within one week of the lesson at Alder Creek Kayak & Canoe's Jantzen Beach location (a $65 value). This four-hour introductory class dishes prospective paddle personnel on the basics of kayaking. Students begin their aquatic journey in the classroom to discuss safety and equipment before saddling their buoyant steed, taming tides, and befriending water-winged hitchhikers on the liquid trails. Participants will learn how to steer their vessel and have the option to further their shore-side mastery with training in deep-water wet exit and assisted re-entry.

The Groupon Guide to: Available Apartments
Due to various recessions, depressions, processions, and soulful expressions, more people than ever are choosing to rent a home instead of purchasing one. Don't start your own house hunt without this handy guide to local apartment listings:
Make it Yours! $815 | Lincoln Square | 1BR | Cats OK, No Smoking |
This sunny four-roomer comes with gently used kitchen appliances, refinished "foak" (faux-oak) flooring, and a live-in cat. Workaholics will love the absence of windows! Heat included, applicants named Katie need not apply for personal reasons that should be obvious.
What if it's True? $950 | Crombler's Row | 2BR | Cats Tolerated, Smoking Encouraged |
Rustic 2br, 2bth, 1:1 ftc (floor-to-ceiling ratio), WICF (walk-in ceiling fan), RAE (refrigerator accommodates eggs). People with friends will like this apartment as it is a humble space, worthy of moderate customization to enjoy meals or just "hanging out." Heat precluded, after-hours parking lot in adjacent Food Pirate.
Apartment of an Artist as a Young Man $2800 | Crombler's Row | 0BR | Cats must remain unnamed, Smoking Mandatory |
Artfully reclaimed slaughterhouse is now the partially converted loft of every artist's dream! Large south-facing windows allow neighbors to watch you create, while ceiling-mounted bookshelves keep balloons organized. Perfect for launch parties, fundraisers, gallery shows, clumsy burlesque, insincere dodgeball, and magazines. Above/below noisy bands. No toilet (toileteria adjacent).
Go Hollywood! $745 | Brunswick Terrace | 1.75 BR | Dogs? Smoking! |
Love movies? "…have what she's having" by discovering this cozy North Vista garden dream. All you Lawnmower Men can plug in to the free WiFi, while Inception fans can explore the dreamscape in the master bed and half-bath. Animation lovers will be charmed by authentic arch-shaped cartoon mouse-holes, while western-lovers will be soothed to sleep by the sound of constant gunfire. Not cable-ready, no noise after 8 p.m.
