  linking

Thank you to the owners of the Metropolitan Building site for allowing us to do this project. For months, people from all over the state (and even out-of-state), have helped build chain out of old billboard material to hang on the chain-link fence at the empty lot on corner of Main & Church in downtown Champaign where the big fire was. 

 

After 6 months, we will be putting up almost 250 ft. of your chain made from billboard discards!
