Two more local things. The Pumpkin Smash is over, but free drop-off continues through Thu., Nov. 5 at 1312 Ropp Road in Normal. And 100 years ago today, airmail pilot Charles Lindbergh bailed out over McLean County with empty fuel tanks, then walked into Covell's general store and asked if anyone had heard a plane crash.
Three local figures run from a 12-year signature gap to a 13,000-foot jump
- 12 years
- between DMV signature updates
- 8 to 9 tons
- of pumpkins collected at last year's smash, approximately
- 13,000 feet
- roughly where Lindbergh bailed out
