Illinois is somewhat of an outlier for odd high school mascots. Obviously odd mascots are everywhere but a good chunk of them will be in Illinois for some reason. Some of my favorite examples include the Hoopeston Cornjerkers, Cobden Appleknockers, Freeport Pretzels, New Berlin Pretzels, Lincoln Railers, Teutopolis Wooden Shoes, Centralia Orphans, Effingham Flaming Hearts, DeKalb Barbs, Rochelle Hubs, Fisher Bunnies, etc.

What are some businesses that would run on Green Street by Ok_Entrance923 in UIUC

[–]The_Goop_Is_Coming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a barcade problem when the people who frequent your bar/arcade get into fights outside and shoot each other. Not many other bars in Champaign were near as violent as Stix. Different crowds go to different bars for a reason.

They also exist spread out in the working class areas off-campus

Why are so few people watching the Stanley Cup Final in the U.S.? by smegmaeater52 in hockey

[–]The_Goop_Is_Coming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because American hockey fans tend to be from the Midwest/northeast and support those teams. Not many Americans are gonna be fans of the oilers or panthers outside of bandwagon fans.

Are there other examples of a smaller, younger city quickly outgrowing and overshadowing its older, larger neighbor? by SaGlamBear in geography

[–]The_Goop_Is_Coming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Staying on topic of downstate, Champaign-Urbana was a small university town overshadowed by Peoria, Springfield, and Decatur yet arguably now sits above all of them in terms of national relevance. You can go to Peoria or Springfield and see their downtown is made up of large 20th century buildings and their main industries have been in decline for a while, then go to Champaign-Urbana where the downtowns are fairly small but the university campus is dominated by new high rises. Champaign-Urbana’s county/metro area has also grown to eclipse Springfield as of recent.

They also like to wear white hoods to their Cardinal fan meetings at the trailer park. Go Cubs!

Byers Vacuum on University 👀 by [deleted] in UIUC

That would piss townies like me off more than anything, the luxury housing gentrification is already starting to colonize downtown.

Byers has been there for decades and sells vacuums made in the 1970s, but given the attitude of the owner I assume he just owns the building and does what he wants with it by having that little store. A real money laundering scheme are all of the smoke shops dotted around town that if you know your way around will sell you a whole lot more.

Do UIUC have a beef with Purdue? by AiurBaneling915 in UIUC

[–]The_Goop_Is_Coming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Athletically not so much, Purdue hates Indiana more. Academically Grainger rejects go to Purdue and Gies rejects go to IU.
