ILLINOIS

Folks, Champaign is flatter than a pancake that’s been sat on by another pancake, and I mean that as a compliment. Out here you can see a friend coming from three days away. Alma Mater stands on Green Street with her arms open like she’s been waiting all morning to hug you specifically. Hang this hand-drawn Illinois poster, and you’ll get that hug every day. I-L-L.
