There has been a great deal of talk about the environment, sustainability, and “green” issues. When it comes to building design, many are saying it would be silly not to include sustainable environmental elements in this day and age. What about historic rehabilitation projects, though? In more progressive communities, redevelopment of historic buildings is considered hip and trendy. Original fixtures, vaulted ceilings, and the coolness and charm that often come with acquiring a unique, older space intrigue visionaries and creative …
| Once they leave their small hometown, many people never think twice about going back, especially to live. After graduating from high school in 1993, I certainly fell into this category of strong-willed, determined individuals who wanted to put my life in Danville, Ill. behind me and fully embrace the idea of unknown territories in the grand metropolis of Champaign-Urbana. Fast-forward thirteen years, and by proxy of embracing some major life changes — a skateboarding boyfriend returning from Iraq, an ill …

Amen. When I told people I’ve lost 18 pounds since early October the number one response I get from women is concern. 18 pounds in four months is not unhealthy, quite the opposite for me. But don’t give up on sugar, or become a vegan, or do…
The whole self-acceptance idea is tricky in itself too. Are we supposed to self-accept by sitting around like bumps on logs, doing nothing but just appreciating and accepting ourselves? Life doesn’t happen like that. I like your point about pushing ourselves to do something greater. Self-challenge and self-reflection…
lindsey - i certainly understand where you are coming from on that one. and i just wanted to state for the record that in no way did i mean to imply that i am not a feminist (or a liberal) just that i find that whole…
re: body image—i find it very hard to hear my own true voice in the midst of all the other ones - either the voices from the “beauty industry” demanding total perfection or the ones from the feminist community (which i am a part of, proudly) demanding…
Relevant article, this should be noticed/discussed more often. But I will say the more important issue is our exhaling and plants inhaling. That is much more important and deadly and dangerous. Oh and soda manufacturing and farting. As long as we have the wealthiest people/major polluters on…
This is wonderful Ryan, thanks for the comment: “I am the Supply and Donation Clerk for Cunningham Children’s Home and I would be happy to pick up any gently used toys (with the exception of stuffed animals) for kids of all ages. Just call 367-3728 Ext 201…
You mention the plastic trash floating in the ocean, and that’s actually the case right now. There are continent size plastic junk fields in gyres in the Pacific and Atlantic right now. Also, thank you all for not feeding the trolls.
I am the Supply and Donation Clerk for Cunningham Children’s Home and I would be happy to pick up any gently used toys (with the exception of stuffed animals) for kids of all ages. Just call 367-3728 Ext 201 to arrange a pick-up. I agree with the…
Urbanajerk posted at 3:21. I didn’t know the elementary kids were home from school by then. That was a very clever comment for an 8 year old! Joni, your article was very well written and informative. I laughed my head off when I saw the pink “monstrosity”…

Ok folks, now that its obvious the wonder bread, gas station eggs, and pasteurized processed cheese food can be marked up sufficiently enough to open two restaurants during a recession and in the same five year span, ya think we can be a little demanding? I’m all…
Everyband in CU - shutup faggot at least this writer is speaking for himself, at least he has a real opinion you spineless capslock drunk fuck. sorry, anyways… what’s good, what’s bad. what’s rock, what’s indie. what’s real what’s not. In 2010, never has this been more…
Indeed, I may also say that some may prefer pop music but some may also like rock music—thus rock music is more alive and cool. Since then, we have lots of good rock bands here, then again we’ll not be compromised and may not be running for…

...Papa Bear was applauding.
Zeleni, I had the exact same theory only with the mysterious Man in Black/Smokie granting the wishes. MIB promised Sayid he could have anything in the world he wanted, which turned out to be Nadia. Although he does not necessarily “have” her, she has not died yet…
I like Kaiyo A LOT, but at Sushi Kame (next to the art theatre) you can get an absolute shitload of good sushi, plus miso, and a bit of noodles in a vineagar cucumber salad for $21, and you know it was made just for you. I…

Pheidippides wasn’t planning on running a marathon; that’s why he died. If he had known ahead of time that he’d be running 26 miles and followed a good training program for a year, stretched properly before the event, had bands and cheering people along the race route,…
Very sad I’ll have to miss this. It sounds sexy as hell & I’ll look forward to the recap.
Doug, I absolutely agree. I think this might have come across focused on rock because, as you say, rock was the 90s, and we had some innovative rock bands here then. But what I’m really trying to get at is that there’s no way Dirty Projectors, Liars…
John, I’m not sure that the current climate for indie rock stardom is all that favorable for bands who simply rock out. Most of the bands doing it well that are also popular have been around for a while and have a tested identity (I’m thinking Spoon…
