Residents love constantly evolving Champaign subdivision
July 6, 2008 9:29 AM CDT
CHAMPAIGN – Garden Hills has a way of getting noticed.
The northwest neighborhood of roughly 1,000 homes – a proud, diverse and working-class neighborhood – has its share of problems. But it's also filled with many longtime residents who say they wouldn't live anyplace else.
This summer, Garden Hills is the focus of an intense city effort to provide activities and guidance to local youths, who alarmed city officials last spring by gathering in large numbers on many nights and sometimes clashing with police.
