Here’s some features you might not have known about the217 — or maybe forgot about:

-WPGU Playlist: Did you hear a song at 2:17 AM? How about 9:49 PM? Search through our playlist to find out what it was. While you’re there, you can read/write reviews, buy albums online, and view discographies and bios for the artists.

-Find a buzz near you: Don’t know where to pick up a hard copy of buzz magazine? Use our interactive map, click on your location, and we’ll show you where the closest buzz magazines are to you! They might be just around the corner…

-Restaurants open now: If you’re hungry, you’re hungry. That’s why we’ve got a complete list of restaurants that are open this second. It’s available all the time, and if you want pancakes at 9 PM or a hot fudge sundae at 7 AM, we’ve got you covered.

-the217.com myspace: This is new, and we’re working on the design and content currently, but this is where you can learn more about the site, talk to us and interact with our favorite local artists and personalities through our friends. If you make your way over there, friend us!

-the217 Flickr group: If you enjoy how beautiful Champaign-Urbana can be, join our Flickr group and add your photos. We even have a contest where we pick our favorite every week! Click here to see the contest rules.

And, as always, email me if you have any problems or questions about the site. We love feedback!

Elle Destree: I'm your trusty producer of the217. You'll most likely see me going to local shows, eating potatoes, buying obscene amounts of vinyl at one time, getting nervous around squirrels and checking my email 30 times a day. Speaking of that, email me at producer@the217.com with any comments/questions about the site.
