[Imc-makerspace] Dispatch from the Illinois Arms Race

[Bill Hannaford]

It has been brought to my attention that Springfield currently leads
 the state in filesystem capacity cemented into exterior brick walls.

 Carbondale retains the honor of having gotten there first.

 Receiving this news, I told a friend I found it less surprising that
 Chicago is the largest city in the United States to have none than
 that Champaign-Freaking-Urbana wasn't in the vanguard. Friend
 replied some detailed account of U of I network infrastructure and
 that it wouldn't occur to Champaign-Urbana as a need. I nodded
 my head like, "you have a point," and continued to wonder.

 I just think it'd be cute if Champaign-Urbana & Bloomington-Normal
 were on the map before Chicago gets around to it.
