Posted June 12, 200718 yr Urbana gets a bad rap because of its sucky courthouse, but it is actually a cute little city. I'm a fan. Great name An edifice that demands respect and oozes civic pride Preserving our heritage for furture generations to enjoy This sign amused me Municipal Building, again, an edifice that demands respect PO Note the URBANA PARTY GIRL to the far right!!!
June 12, 200718 yr Great shots of a surprisingly interesting city. I was there a couple months ago for a meeting and took pictures of some of the same buildings. Had a quick dinner at Catfish Jones, a fine, friendly place. I was especially struck by Carmazzi's General Store on the Square: a tiny crackerbox of a place that is part deli, part newsstand, part candy store and part grocery store -- and that looks probably the same as it did 50 or 60 years ago. What's the latest on the Douglas -- the big old hotel with the mansard roof?

June 15, 200717 yr Cute town, good work! And props for a rare sighting of one of the elusive Urbana Party Girls!
June 16, 200717 yr Nice tour, and the city looks quite urban for a smaller city. Not exactly sure why, but this building(s) intrigues me: Thanks for the pics. :-)
