Ok, granted, Springfild, MO is not in Southern Illinois, but we do visit family in the area. We also started dating in graduate school at Missouri State, so Springfield--especially its downtown--has a special place in our hearts. Since then, we cannot get enough of its downtown revitalization. Not only are the old buildings getting a new life, many are getting a new contemporary modern lease on life. A good example is the Park Central Branch of the Greene County Library (check out the incredible reading nooks), which is also connected to another well-designed space, The Coffee Ethic. (Also check out this link to view a stop-shot video of them building the coffee shop's innovative bar design.) We took a few pics of the library during a recent visit to give but one example of why the downtown is an inspiring place to visit.
