We made an impromptu stop here after visiting the Goodwill and were pleasantly surprised…read more We found the store to be clean, well organized, and easy to shop. Things weren't crammed together on racks and shelves and you didn't have to dig through things. Prices were good and they have a room full of groceries at reduced prices. Fresh popcorn was popping as well. Not sure if this was free to customers or if it was for sale. Would return again if I were in the area. Shopping carts available. 4/5 stars because once the parking on the side of the building is full you have to park across the street (at least that's what we did).

The Stephens YMCA is a great gym. I primarily use it for weight lifting, but they also have a tiny…read moreclimbing wall, pool, basketball courts, spin classes, and a small track. The weight room is fantastic: totally air conditioned and the air smells great. They have a ton of equipment, including dumbbells that go in 2.5lb increments for the first 50 lbs (and let's be honest, that's as high as I can go anyway). It doesn't get too busy, and it's kept very clean by the users and staff wipe downs regularly. Oh and as a bonus for students returning to Champaign for breaks from school, they have great deals for short subscriptions (like $25 for 30 days).

The app they use has hours for the pool but they aren't always correct and the pool heater breaks often. They have a "deep cleaning" every year that members pay for and they shut down the gym for 6 days to do it so not only are you paying for it but you can't go while they do it. Just keep it clean year round. The workers are usually not super helpful or nice.

The best part of used bookstores is the element of serendipity. I find books I have loved that I…read morenever knew existed, and would never have known to search for them. New bookstores, in my view, are very limited in scope -- the owner has a particular taste, majority of titles (not counting classics) have been published in the last 1-5 years, from major publishing houses, almost everything has been on the NYT besteller's list. Very little element of surprise, few hidden gems. Used bookstores have so much more serendipity, so many hidden gems, so much more variety. And Priceless Books has this element of used bookstores, but twice as much as any other used bookstore I've been to. And I've been to a lot! On every road trip, if I'm just passing through, I check out their used bookstores. This one's special. Yes, it's messy and there's piles of books on the floor blocking the path (definitely not a wheelchair friendly store). Yes, you have to crane your neck to view titles up on the shelf. Yes, the store clerk is not gregarious (but does have a twinkle in his eye). But it's worth it! I have found so many books that my here that my life feels more complete having read them, and I never would have known of them if not for this store. This can be said of many a used book store, but Priceless Books just has more of it, and it's something special.
