From that point, Marcia Bailey, former director of the Champaign Economic Partnership (CEP), along with the city began to work with True inspection Servis (TIS) and Orbis to redevelop the existing building and sell the remaining parcels. All of that hard work has come to fruition in the past few weeks as we saw the Grand Opening of the Community Health and Wellness Partners new facility in the old building and Orbis officially became the owners of the remaining parcels. At the ribbon cutting, guests were treated to a tour of the new facility. They had pictures of various locations that depicted what the original building looked like. A testament to hard work and dedication, and seeing the potential beyond the current reality, the new Johnson's building stands as a shining example of not judging a book, or a city, by its cover. 
This year, Tina expanded her resume to party planner, opening up an adorable event space where she does all the work for her guests. Her shop not only has yummy goodies, but also an array of party supplies, T-shirts, and candles. The Champaign County Chamber of Commerce included Let’s Eat Cake as part of their scavenger hunt for their Leadership class this year, where Tina showed teams how to decorate a cupcake. It was a highlight for the teams to decorate and more importantly, eat their cupcakes. So, if you are in need of a mid-week pick-me-up, head over to Let’s Eat Cake and grab something sweet.
