[QUOTE="Shane Walsh, post: 1935881, member: 571538"] Love this thread. Yes, the walk from Downtown Champaign to Campustown is quick and nice using Logan, the 2nd Street Basin, and Scott Park. Do it a few times a week, more during the summer. Garcias stopped being decent in the mid 90's when they started half baking the crust and using a TurboChef microwave in an effort to reduce cook times. Ralph and Joe used to decide to launch the balloon at the last minute and they would drive the van around the stores for extra employees to help setup, chase, and take down the balloon. Got to do that more than once. I swear that I will never understand the love for Monical's pizza. I have family that has to have it every time they are in town and one of my nieces asked why do we always eat this crappy pizza? The pizza at Old Orchard is overlooked and underrated. Papa Dels Sicilian pizza is bready, but delicious if you are into that. Does not compare to a long running list of Chicagoland pizza joints imho. Destihl is still around up the interstate in Normal Illinois, but as mentioned earlier, the expansion plans fell through and the downtown location left. Blame the pandemic. Best greasy spoon breakfast in town? Sams Cafe downtown. Try the french toast. Pour Bros downtown has a great outdoor patio. Everything that was opened and ran by the Nietos was sold and is now run by the same organization that runs Green Street Realty, take that for what it is worth. [/QUOTE]
