Ebert links to his Urbana home remained tight

In this April 5, 2013 photo, flowers are seen at the plaque dedicated to life and achievements of movie critic Roger Ebert in front of his boyhood home in Urbana, Ill., the day after the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic died at age 70 after a long battle with cancer. Through his television shows, movies reviews and essays, Ebert belonged to the world beyond Urbana. One part of Ebert's life that got little attention as the nation mourned his sudden death was how much he meant to this university town where he grew up. (AP Photo/David Mercer, File) URBANA, Ill. (AP) — Michael Esteves wakes up every day in the spot Roger Ebert called the center of the universe, and it isn't Chicago, New York or Cannes.
