I’ve always suspected that there’s a direct correlation between projected land use for the Rt 150 corridor [Industrial / Commercial] and the drive to expand 74. See the CCRPC Future Land Use Map for details, and then take a look at who owns land there, and you…

The University does not subsidize the Airbus. For decades bus transportation to the airport was provided expressly for Institute of Aviation students. This service was paid for by the Institute of Aviation, not campus as a whole. Some of you may even remember the old orange or…

A book just published gives a very useful different perspective on the “growth for growth’s sake” model and its ecological unsustainability. It is “Prosperity Without Growth: Economics for a Finite Planet” by Tim Jackson. The first chapter of the book can be downloaded via http://earthscan.co.uk/pwg . This…

I agree with most of the comments on the Orange “Krush.“  They are mostly immature, ignorant, college students who can’t wait for the next frat party so they can get wasted on Keystone light

“Since there is no congestion on 74, one wonders what he is talking about.“ - Duh.  Perhaps the congestion is wishful thinking? And IL DOT is planning to spend $71 million taxpayer dollars widening I-74 between Champaign and Mahomet. I contacted IL DOT on the I-74 stuff. …

Since 1994, the American Farmland Trust has had case studies which have shown that there is no net gain to developing farmland. On average the ratio of dollars generated by development to the cost of services provided by communities was $1 : $1.04. For farm land, the…

Stuart, Really a fantastic series of articles on this proposed road.  The Chinatown analogy is very cool.  I wouldn’t say that the local press has been lapdogs on this issue.  One of the local TV news channels actually did a piece where they interviewed Mr. Ziegler, the…

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=4961547   I stand by it all, except in that I should’ve used better language to describe the types of fools these folks are. Calling someone a douchebag, is kinda like, being a douchebag.   Strike that one from the record. Everything else, well, yeah…

Can we please refrain from ever EVER comparing running a marathon to childbirth? Especially when the comparison is made by someone without a vagina? Kthx.

Mark: You raise some interesting points. I’m impressed by anyone who runs a marathon, no matter their finishing time.  It’s the commitment people show to accomplishing a goal they set for themselves that impresses me most. A sign I saw at the Illinois Marathon last year along…

Interesting article, John.  I second your comments Doug.  I’d really like to see the two of you do a Siskel & Ebert-style review of albums.  Can SP make this happen? And if Noiseboy could reappear to DJ one day at Mike & Molly’s…

Thank you SP editors for removing a not-so-nice word from Pope’s comment. I was just going to comment on it myself, wondering if we need an article titled “Down with the F-word”. John, very interesting read. Huzzah for well-written local music opinion.
