Champaign City Building

Users who consult http://archive.ci.champaign.il.us/archive/dscgi/ds.py/Get/File-1546/2003-10-21_Pre-Council_Study_Session_Minutes.pdf will see that the Champaign City Council itself refers to the City Building as the City Building and not as the Municipal Building. The building does not serve as a courthouse. My edit was accurate and not damaging, and I am reverting the revert. Rather than have an edit war, it would be nice if those opposed to my formulation would present evidence to support their point, instead of just calling my edit "damaging". -- Bhuck 30 June 2005 06:51 (UTC)

[edit] Open Space

My error on the open space: it's Champaign County that apparently has a very low amount of open space per capita compared to the rest of the state (and Illinois already ranks 48th in the nation in that category.) The figure I've seen is 19 acres per 1000 population.

I didn't think the information regarding the order of the two cities in the name was inappropriate, although I can see an argument for moving it to the C-U Metro page.

Well the problem is, other than maybe one or two places, they are not called the "Twin Cities", but "CU, UC, Champaign-Urbana, Urbana-Champaign, or Chambana". I know of a business or two which uses "Twin Cities" in their name, but the locals typically don't. As far as the open space, Champaign-Urbana has a lot.

[edit] History

So one of the three notable events in the history of Champaign is hosting the National Science Olympiad in 2005. Yikes. --Terryn3 04:50, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
