Springfield, Illinois (place)

Springfield is also home to:

• Lincoln Land Community College (often referred to as "Losers' Last Chance")
• University of Illinois at Springfield (formerly Sangamon State University, or "U of I Lite")
• White Oaks Mall (feh, it's a mall. what can I say?)
• Penny Lane (head shop, cheap t-shirts, posters, leather goods... "Aw, man! That's beautiful!")
• Illinois State Museum (last time I was there, no dinosaur skeletons, just one big honkin' mammoth)
• The Thomas Rees Memorial Carillion (a great big tower with 66 bells hooked up to an organ-type keyboard)
• And a Chuck E. Cheese (great for going to and playing old video games)
