Champaign artist Lori Caterini (of Bow-Dacious String Band) has taken it upon herself to induce the time-honored autumn tradition of playing in leaves by deliberately dumping over 250 bags of them into Crane Alley (the actual alley) in downtown Urbana.
According to a small grassroots press release via email, the exhibit lasts only for today and is "at your disposal for dragging feet, breathing fabulous fall smells, and generally having fun."
Get down there soon because they'll be raking up the pile of leaves around 5:45 p.m.
Crane Alley intersects Main St. in downtown Urbana between Elm St. and Goose Alley.

You live near a major university. There are smart people that come here every week to talk to the general public about interesting topics. Perhaps you were not aware of this fact, or were overwhelmed by the sheer number of opportunities for possible transcendence. If that's the case, Smile Politely understands and is here to help. Here are five speakers that will be on campus this week, and three of them took the time to answer a few questions about their area of expertise. Check one or more of them out if you have time.
Monday, November 10 @ 12 noon: Sustainability Seminar Series - "The University of Illinois Business Instructional Facility: What we know and what we don't yet know about the Campus' First Green Building", Jean Ascoli, local architect, Stephen J. Warner Conference Room, Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (Waste Management and Research Center Building), One E. Hazelwood Dr., Champaign
Smile Politely: Were you involved in the design of the building?
