Love the art classes that the Champaign Park District offers! This fall’s Plein Air Watercolor session is especially zen. 🎨🧘🏽‍♀️✨ #champaignil #chambana #art

So the coolest thing about #Pygmalion is the new bands you discover just by happening onto a show. I gotta say, Lawn—from New Orleans—was an amazing surprise! Post-punk perfection! #champaignurbana #rosebowltavern #urbana #livemusic #lawntheband

Maybe it’s pumpkin spice, maybe it’s not. 😄 Either way, Pekara in Champaign makes incredible lattes!
