OFFICIAL ROAST REPORT
We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Your town is so unimaginatively named that an entire university had to be called 'Normal' first before y'all just gave up and named the whole place after a teacher training school. Even your downtown desperately rebranded as 'Uptown Normal' because apparently just being Normal wasn't working out so well.
Watterson Towers is one of the tallest dorm buildings in the world, which sounds impressive until you realize it's basically a concrete monument to cramming college kids into the sky like sardines. Nothing says 'quality education' quite like housing students in what looks like a Soviet-era apartment block that somehow got lost in the cornfields.
The Sweet Corn Blues Festival is held every August and offers over 50,000 ears of fresh sweet corn. Your biggest cultural event is literally people standing around eating corn while pretending to enjoy blues music, which perfectly captures the thrilling nightlife of a town that calls itself Normal unironically.
Illinois State Redbirds basketball and football teams play in arenas that seat thousands of people who apparently have nothing better to do than watch a team named after the most common backyard bird in Illinois. At least they didn't go with 'Normal Pigeons' - though honestly, that might've been more accurate.
