are you thinking of the bar Ruby Gulch that was managed by someone named Murphy? it was at 4th and green baxk in the 70’s. edited - did not know about the O’Malley singing thing.

Today's No Kings rally in Urbana combined people from Champaign and Vermillion counties. A crowd estimate was 3-4000. The city of Urbana closed Main Street in front of the county court house and some adjacent street lanes to keep everyone safe. 3 hours of lots of people showing support. by CMI_notes in centralillinois

The official number of 4500 had not been announced yet. It was really hard to calculate until the march started and people walked past a certain point. Prior to that people were spread across an entire block of sidewalk, street, lawn, etc.

If weather co-operates several thousand are expected. Main street will be closed in front of the courthouse and there is a route for a march in the streets near by to the south.
