You say that only cause it’s true.


Dr. Ken Jr. I will be starting school down there next year.

I'll be around. Keep your head on a swivel at the County Market.

They tore down the Illini Inn. I’m still in mourning.


Tear it down to build what? A one-car garage?

Another big ass apartment building. I don’t even recognize campus anymore.

Yeah, Green St. is crazy now.

But I didn't think the Illini Inn footprint would be big enough to put apartments there. I always felt like I had to walk through the place sideways.

Didn’t it have a gravel parking lot to the north of it—that would provide a larger footprint? We also called it Willie’s— I think at some point that was it’s name. Or we’re just making shit up. I recall a friend barfing out there the night he joined th Mug Club. BTW, I still have my card tucked away in a shoe box, and my number is still memorized—13047.

They’re shoehorning 10lbs of shit in a 5lb bag. I haven’t had a pizza from stone baked in alomost 30 yrs. I remember it fondly. It may have sucked.

You're better than me. I don't remember mine. But I haven't had a Stroh's since leaving there.

Yeah there was the parking lot to the North, and it was always situated in between apartments to the South and West, the parcel aching to be bought up and turned into whatever it will/is be.

I lived right across the street from there for 2 years, and I don't think I ever had the occasion to even stumble in there.

Wait, was that the place that had a sandwich joint up the stairs?

I think I actually might have stumbled i there a time or two.
