Always lots going on, extremely easy to meet people. Very affordable place, too. You're only a couple good hours drive from Chicago (very easy to spend weekends there).

Absolutely. I spent a lot of time there for work in the 90's. All of the above is true. It's a great town. As I recall, the OTB there even had tablecloths.

Hey, forgot about that - you're right! Very nice place.

Yes, an OTB ... all the essentials in Urbana-Champaign.
