I frequently find myself driving east on University, and my eyes are always drawn to the giant Lee logo on the side of the buildling at 110 E. University.

If you are also a regular passerby, you may have noticed that it’s looking a bit brighter these days. Local artist Glen Davies was tapped to repaint the original, and Champaign Center Partnership posted this video of Davies and Michael Hosier of R Rentals discussing this recent restoration.
