What Have We Here? looks at the past and present people and forces that create the places we pass through everyday in Champaign County.
People are up in arms about parking.
Or, at least, about parking meters. And they measure their frustration in quarters and hours.
At the heart of the issue is the upcoming vote by the Champaign City Council on whether or not to increase parking rates in downtown Champaign, and to extend the hours that the meters are enforced. While the city stands to see a not-insubstantial windfall from these measures, it also hoists the burden into the pocketbooks of the people who park downtown.
Angles dominate the city. From ten-story buildings to six-inch curbs, human-built landscapes are mazes of interlocking planes. And no type of angle dominates more than that famous heavyweight from high-school geometry: the right angle.
Vertically, we see these angles everywhere: in the high corners of buildings and window frames and doors. But right angles are horizontal creatures as well, and on the ground level the quintessential right angle is the street corner.
