If you happen to be Champaign on the first Friday of March, you may wonder why there are students drunk in the streets at 7am. This is our own little holiday that we fondly refer to as "Unofficial" - short for Unofficial St Patricks Day. The bars open early. People miss class, and the ones that do attend are usually drunk. Have fun, be safe, and wear green! Remember: "Irish Today, Hungover Tomorrow!"

Champaign: Illinois' second city

Champaign may not be the second-largest city in Illinois - that dubious honor goes to the ugly, industrial Peoria - but it's certainly the most happening place outside of Chicago. When I was in high...

Champaign is the home of the University of Illinois. It is a nice campus to walk. Other than that, I can't tell you much more. I only come to Champaign every couple years for a football game.
