Prairie Central High School

Prairie Central High School is a public four-year high school in the Prairie Central Consolidated School District of central Illinois. It is located in Fairbury, Illinois. History The consolidated Prairie Central district was created in 1985 by merging three districts. Those three districts' high schools were Fairbury-Cropsey High School, Forrest-Strawn-Wing High School, and Chatsworth High School. Upon completion of the merger, the new district chose to locate their high school in the building that was formerly known as Fairbury-Cropsey High School, which was founded in 1951. The building that had housed Forrest-Strawn-Wing High School—built just a couple of years prior to consolidation—was chosen to be the location of the new district's junior high school. Upon the change of the school's name, the mascot and school colors were also changed. The new mascot selected was the Hawks, and the new colors were white, Columbia blue, and navy. The previous mascots and colors had been: FCHS Fighting Tartars (green and yellow gold), FSW Fighting Eskimos (red and black), and Chatsworth Bluebirds (blue and orange). In 2004, the district further expanded with the addition of the students from Chenoa High School, which had been turned into Prairie Central Primary West, a school meant for Pre-kindergarten to first grade students. On March 25, 2023, two of the most athletic seniors from the school, Dylan Bazzell (aged 18), and Drew Fehr (aged 17), died due to blunt force trauma in a skiing accident in Colorado. Athletics Prairie Central High School offers a wide range of athletics including: Baseball Softball Basketball (Men's and Women's) Cheerleading Cross Country (Men´s and Woman´s) Football Golf (Men's and Women's) Swimming (Men's and Women's) Track (Men's and Women's) Volleyball Wrestling (Men´s and Woman´s) Competition The 2008 Marching Hawks band place first at the University of Illinois Marching Band Championships.

Fireside Bowl

Fireside Bowl (oder Fireside) ist eine sogenannte Bowling Alley und Music Venue, die um 1940 etabliert wurde. Seinen Sitz hat das Fireside in 2648 W Fullerton Ave in Chicago, Illinois. Geschichte Das Gebäude war eine Eisfabrik in den Anfangstagen. Im Sommer 1941 renoviert der Besitzer Hank Sophie den Laden und machte daraus ein Lokal mit Bowlingbahnen, damit traf er genau den Geschmack der Bowling-Welle und deren dazugehörigen Hype, welcher sich Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts in den USA ausbreitete. In den Jahren danach wurde das Gebäude immer wieder aufgewertet und erhielt nach und nach mehr Bahnen und gastronomische Angebote. Music Venue Mit der Zeit wurde das Bowling eine Nebensache im Fireside. Stattdessen hielt die Musikszene Einzug in das Lokal. Mehr und mehr Shows wurden abgehalten bis um 1999, als die Stadt Chicago verlangte den nebenan liegenden Haas-Park zu erweitern. Trotz aller Widrigkeiten und Probleme mit der Stadtverwaltung fanden weiter Musikveranstaltungen statt und das Fireside wurde nicht geschlossen. Im Jahre 2003 ließ die Stadt Chicago die Enteignung fallen. Seither versucht das Fireside zurück zu seinen Wurzeln des Bowlings zu kommen und sich in dem Bereich in der Stadt zu etablieren. Zurück zum Bowling Im Sommer 2004 fanden erneut Renovierungen statt, neues Equipment wurde zugelegt und die Bahnen wurden aufgewertet. Seit 2010 werden im Fireside wieder Live-Musik-Events abgehalten. In der Kultur Verschiedene Bands, die heute teilweise weltbekannt sind, hatten ihre Anfänge im Fireside. Eine davon ist Rise Against. Nicht nur in der Musikszene, sondern auch in der Fernseh- sowie Filmkultur fand sich das Fireside wieder.

OSF Heart of Mary Medical Center

Sacred Heart Medical Center – Urbana is owned by OSF HealthCare, formerly Provena Covenant Medical Center is a 210-bed non-profit hospital in Urbana, Illinois, USA. It is part of the OSF HealthCare System, headquartered in Peoria. The facility is accredited by the Joint Commission and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). History The hospital was formed by the merging of two hospitals, Burnham City Hospital and Mercy Hospital, in 1989. Burnham City Hospital was founded in 1894 and Mercy Hospital was founded by the Servants of the Holy Heart of Mary in 1919. In 1997, the medical center became part of the Provena Health system and was renamed Provena Covenant Medical Center. In 2026, the hospital expanded behavioral health services and facility was renamed OSF Sacred Heart Medical Center – Urbana. Services Key services include regional emergency medical services, in-patient psychiatry, home health, home care and hospice services, with outpatient cardiovascular, obstetrics and gynecology and pediatric clinics. Awards As Heart of Mary Medical Center, the facility was recognized by HealthGrades for total knee replacement and joint replacement surgery. Tax-exempt case In 2002, the Champaign County Board of Review challenged Provena Covenant's tax-exempt status based on debt-collection tactics and the amount of charity care offered. Ultimately, the Illinois Department of Revenue denied Provena Covenant's status, which led to the matter being considered by the circuit court of Sangamon County, Illinois, which sided with Provena Covenant. The matter was then considered by the Appellate Court and, later, the Illinois Supreme Court which both rendered decisions against Provena Covenant's tax-exempt status. In a March 18, 2010, judgment by the Illinois Supreme Court (Provena Covenant Medical Center vs. the (Illinois) Department of Revenue), the Court agreed that the Department of Revenue had acted properly in denying charitable and religious property tax exemptions requested by Provena Hospitals. In the judgment, the Court noted that "a mere 302 of its (Provena Covenant's) 110,000 admissions received reductions in their bills based on charitable considerations." The court added, "uninsured patients were charged PCMC’s “established” rates, which were more than double the actual costs of care. When patients were granted discounts at the 25 and 50 percent levels, the hospital was therefore still able to generate a surplus." In response, Jon Sokolski, Chair of the Board of Provena Covenant Medical Center, said, "We are deeply disappointed that the Illinois Supreme Court has denied the property tax exemption of Provena Covenant Medical Center. Provena…cares for all in our community who need our health services regardless of their ability to pay. In 2008, we provided more than $38 million in free care and other community benefits."

Pulaski Park (Chicago)

Pulaski Park is a park in the West Town neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. It was founded in 1912, and was named after American Revolutionary War hero Casimir Pulaski. Pulaski Park derives its name from the historic park and fieldhouse that was designed by Jens Jensen between 1912 and 1914. 1,200 people were displaced, leading to the razing of a number of buildings while others were moved to nearby locations in the neighborhood. The park and fieldhouse were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 13, 1981. The fieldhouse was designated an official Chicago Landmark on July 29, 2003; a plaque can be found inside the building at the Blackhawk Street entrance. The neighborhood in the park's vicinity within West Town is called Pulaski Park after the park.

Pullman National Historical Park

Das Pullman National Historical Park ist eine US-amerikanische Gedenkstätte vom Typ eines National Historical Parks in Chicago. Es wurde durch Präsident Barack Obama durch eine Presidential Proclamation am 19. Februar 2015 mit einer Fläche von 203 acres (82 ha) als National Monument ausgewiesen und im Januar 2023 zu einem National Historical Park umgewidmet. Das Gelände ist auch als Pullman District und Pullman Historic District bekannt. Geschichte George Mortimer Pullman baute hier die erste modellhaft und geplante Industriestadt mit Produktionsgebäuden und Wohnsiedlung in den Vereinigten Staaten. Er nutzte das Pullmann-Werk zur Herstellung der berühmten Pullman-Schlafwagen für die Pullman Palace Car Company. Das Gelände ist eine der berühmtesten Firmenstädte der Vereinigten Staaten sowie Schauplatz des gewaltsamen Pullman-Streiks von 1894. Ursprünglich außerhalb der Stadtgrenzen Chicagos erbaut, befindet es sich heute im Stadtteil Pullman, der das Pullman-Werk und auch das Hotel Florence, benannt nach George Pullmans Tochter, umfasst. Ebenfalls im Bezirk befindet sich das A. Philip Randolph Pullman Porter Museum, benannt nach dem prominenten Arbeiter- und Bürgerrechtsführer A. Philip Randolph, dass die afroamerikanische Arbeitergeschichte würdigt und erforscht. Teile des Geländes befanden sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten im Besitz der Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, bevor sie der Bundesregierung für das Pullman National Monument geschenkt wurden. Weitere Grundstücke bleiben als Teil des The Pullman State Historic Site im Besitz des Staates Illinois. Seit 2016 steht es unter der Verwaltung des National Park Service. Das Gelände wurde bereits am 30. Dezember 1970 als National Historic Landmark ausgewiesen und am 8. Oktober 1969 im National Register of Historic Places gelistet, wobei die Abgrenzung dieser beiden Schutzausweisungen deutlich größer ist als die Fläche vom Pullman National Historical Park.
