Home to the University of Illinois, or the U of I. They are two distinct towns that also sit right next to each other. Home to a thriving down town area and many art related things. The towns are world famous due to the many well known people to have been from here, as well as attended school here. Thanks to the U of I people from all around the world come to work and attended school here resulting in a diverse environment.
Also refered to as Chambana by idiots who do not live here and cannot apparently take the time to say the actual name. Is not called Bubble city as far as most of it's citizens are concerned.
