This is Bliss is a collection of photographs and descriptions from the lens of David Cubberly.
I was talking to some friends who have lived for quite a while in Champaign-Urbana and was very surprised to hear that they have never been to Monticello, Ill. "What? How can this be!" I exclaimed. Not only is Monticello a great little town with all sorts of fun things to do, but it's where the wonderful Allerton Park is located. Home to an amazing glassworking studio, an independent record store and great restaurants, Monticello is definitely the place to visit this summer. And by the way, I've heard that Monticello puts on the best Fourth of July fireworks display in all of East Central Illinois (being held this year at Lodge Park north of Monticello at dusk on July 3).
We really do have the best of both worlds living in Champaign-Urbana. We have all the comforts and benefits of city life and yet, in a matter of minutes, we can find ourselves in the beauty of the Illinois countryside. This truly is bliss.
House shows are apparently no longer a thing of the past. For those of you looking for a change of scenery from the regular bar venue fare, be sure to check out one of the many house shows that are popping up more and more in the Champaign-Urbana area. Cornbread's CD release show was held this past Saturday night at the Broadway Haus. Along with performances by TEXT and Mohrer Les, all supported by resident musicians, The Sugar Gliders, the show was a nice change of pace.
Last Saturday, Krukid & The Sugargliders left everyone speechless at Mike 'N Molly's. If you missed this show, check his schedule and make it to the next one. You won't regret it.
