Up in Peoria for Cathy's wedding tomorrow, and let me tell you, it's all so different.
First of all, there are parts of 74 that are 4 lanes each way. It flows. It's nice. The lanes are actually big enough. We need to send the civil engineers that figured this one out down to Dallas to fix that whole issue.
On another note, Grandma and Grandpa's house is now a hole in the ground. Literally. If it got filled with water, it would be a swimming pool deep enough for a diving tower. As is the rest of that entire block. It's all fenced off and they're building something...or, they will be. I'm assuming that's why there's a hole.
Bradley's torn down other houses around the campus, too, and it looks like they have all pretty much been turned into parking lots. That is, all except the TEP and Hillel houses, which were torn down so that Sigma Chi could build that monstrosity of a building they call a house. There are only a handful of houses in Highland Park that are actually bigger than this one, though the Sigma Chi house is "home" for way more than just a couple of people.
With all these changes around the perimeter of the campus, it's nice to know that the quads are all still intact and the interior still looks like the Bradley I remember. At least for now...
