Revisiting ….
- Remember that documentary film I told you guys about, the one about the eccentric farmer in Northern Illinois? It is going to be shown in Chicago on Sept. 12 as part of Farm Aid’s 20th anniversary activities.
- Perhaps I need to start an email campaign to light a fire under the Banana Republic people to sign on to the new Courtyard wing at Marketplace Mall. The N-G mentioned a few weeks ago that BR, which was one of the first stores bantered about when this expansion was first discussed, has not signed on to the project. Of course, although I was wise enough in March to file the arrival of BR under my I’ll-believe-it-when-I-see-it category, I got a little too excited about this one. Doesn’t take much to break a girl’s heart.
- Speaking of malls: You don’t need to drive to Peoria or Indianapolis anymore to get a taste of Cold Stone Creamery. One will be opening next month at the revamped Shoppes at College Hills Mall in Normal. Wonder how long it will take for the upscale ice cream franchise to land in C-U.
- This isn’t an update, but I came across the most random thing today: a group of people are about to embark on a walking trip from Chicago to Mahomet. According to this website, they will leave Chicago on August 28 and will arrive in Mahomet on Sept. 15. Somehow it’s connected to this art project. (Perhaps someone smarter than me can figure this out.)
- In case you missed it: Aunt Sonya’s is a pile of rubble now. Greymatter waxes on about his loss here.
