Rantoul: Not your father's village

Thirty years ago, Connie Franzen of Rantoul would turn on her radio each morning to 1460-AM to hear about last night's Rantoul high school basketball game, the upcoming dance at the Armed Services YMCA and the big sidewalk sale at the downtown Rantoul shops.

Today, that same radio station is all Latino all the time. Spanish music. Spanish-speaking reporters with community news.
