“My husband, a University of Illinois alum, and I were in Champaign-Urbana for a wedding, and he wanted to show me around the University of Illinois campus. The first place that he insisted on stopping at was the Illini Union. When we visited, this was a hub of activity. Illini Fest was going on this weekend. We went to the basement, which was home to several restaurants, a recreation center featuring a bowling alley, and a live band playing music. I really enjoyed seeing his old stomping grounds. If you're on the University of Illinois campus, I recommend going to the Illini Union.”

“Overall this is my favorite gas station. However just read the expiration dates on the alcohol. I bought the Minute Maid spiked lime margarita and I’m almost sure that it was expired. It had a weird taste to it and made my stomach hurt. That’s when I realized it might be expired. Unless that’s the distribution date I’m positive they are selling expired liquor.”
