CHAMPAIGN
Champaign shares the main campus of the University of Illinois with its twin city of Urbana. Champaign is also home to Parkland College, which serves about 18,000 students during the academic year. Due to the university and a number of well-known technology startup companies, it is often referred to as the hub, or a significant landmark, of the Silicon Prairie. Champaign houses offices for the Fortune 500 companies Abbott, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Caterpillar, John Deere, Dow Chemical Company, IBM, and State Farm. Champaign also serves as the headquarters for several companies, including Jimmy John's.

Wow, no surprise that ~ 45 +/- years ago, things have changed some. Yet, I see many familiar landmarks. 👍🍻. Sad the Garcia’s Pizza in Wright Street is gone 😕. Great Za! At least The Illini Inn is still alive, but not the classic dive of awesomeness.
