Goings on at the Park

I work accross from West Side Park in Champaign. Things alwasy seem to happen here.

For instance, this morning as I get out of my car:

• I think I hear an orchestra. I think: "OK, they're getting ready for Taste of Champaign later this week....Uh, nope. It's the "homeless" guy in his "home"/car blasting classical music. Normally this time of year, he's got his hatch open and is blasting a rap concert. That's fine with me too - except for that whole noise violation thing.

• There is a man sleeping on top of a picnic table. Maybe you've seen this sort of thing before. I'm sure that I have but there's one difference this time. The man is not shirtless, sunbathing or stoned looking. He's wearing khaki pants and a button down shirt. It's 8:30 (or so) in the morning. What gives????
