Justine Bursoni hails from Chicago. She tried as hard as possible to leave here, graduating after three years of Art History school. It was Custard Cup that forced her to stay. She now lives in downtown Champaign and works as a nanny and at the Orpheum Children's Science Museum.
The street railways run between Champaign-Urbana and used to connect our two towns. Now many of these trains merely pass through neighboring cities and states transporting goods. Learn more about the history of the trains in Champaign-Urbana at the Illinois Central Historical Society.
