While living in Champaign, this was one of my favorite places to go to. Champaign is a great college town, especially if you're in computer graphics, but I had to drive to Chicago regularly for theater and museums, collecting many speeding tickets along the way. Yes, after driving for 2.5 hours on the straightest freeway you can imagine, a road with not a single tree, a cop would give you a ticket for going 73 mph.
