In a puff of smoke

I'm not there to witness it, but I'm sure the economies of Champaign and Urbana have come to a screeching halt and probably collapsed by now.

After all, unless my calendar is faulty, I believe both Champaign and Urbana are now smoke free. By now about 20 bar owners and an equal number of restaurant owners should have plummeted to their deaths from the top of Illini Towers.

On the other hand, if the bar business is such a risky proposition then why are there about 20 more bars in CU than about 2 years ago?

Nevertheless, it's an historic day for C-U. A long time coming. May the rest of the state and the country follow your lead.

And so it goes.
