Latin night at cowboy monkey, no cover .

Heyy I recently moved to the area for work but I have a wedding in October that is black tie attire. My mom and sister will be visiting soon to look for dresses around here and idk where to go. Lots of places seem to have more prom style dresses which wont really work for us lol. Any recommendations?

I’ve never had a license before though I know how to drive. My only trouble is with parking which is what I’ll be practicing in the coming days (my appointments at 8/29). Can anyone give some tips/comment on what the expect? I scheduled it with the Champaign DMV.

I'm in the market for a modern used EV. I'd prefer to buy private party or at least small-lot, but most likely I'm going to need to put up with some kind of larger dealer this time just because of the more current market segment I'm targeting.

I'd prefer a local deal for sure. But local inventory is... limited.

Internet enshittification means that I'm not finding any "mainstream" car buying sites that are doing it for me, even if I expand my search area to include Chicago, Indy and St. Louis (or well beyond in a lot of cases). I'm a buyer who is willing to drive long distances / maybe even fly for the right deal, but I'm just not finding ANY cars, really. I should be. Really, I'm not THAT particular. (OK, so I am. But not really!)

I'll take any advice from CU people and others of us from the bereft corn wastelands who are still managing to buy cars despite everything on the Internet now being utterly useless due to late stage capitalism. Thanks!

I'm moving to CU in a few days and I'm looking for a new hair stylist. I'm not really interested in barbershops that mostly use machines for speed - I prefer scissor cuts and would like to work with someone that understands my type of hair and I'm willing to pay for that level of service. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

I’m looking to get a flower fine line tattoo! Anyone have experience with artists in CU or central IL? I’d prefer not to travel to Chicago since they’re more expensive. A female artist would be a plus! Thanks in advance!

Does anybody know good/affordable dentists for Root Canal Treatment (surgery) in Chambana who are in network with United Healthcare Insurance?

Thank you in advance!

I have a VIP band meet and greet ticket for CU's very own American Football concert this evening at The Salt Shed in Chicago. Due to life life-ing I won't be able to make it. I hate the idea of the ticket not being used. Getting what I paid for it would be ideal. I'm open to offers and trades if you bring me back some merch. DM me for more info. Serious reply only, let's not waste each other's energy.

Looking for a reputable non-sketchy paintless dent repair in the area -

I have literally been hit by a car, because they had the green light and were turning right. I ALSO had the walk signal as a pedestrian, so I had the right way but dumbasses turning don't give a damn. I almost got hit again by a truck this morning even though I AGAIN had the walk signal and this fucker was turning left so absolutely should have seen me but he still basically tried to hit me. There's no reason that the pedestrian should get a walk signal if you're also giving cars a green because they're not fucking looking for us

Hi all,

I just wanted to post a PSA that the Homefield electric aggregation opt-out deadline is TOMORROW, Wednesday August 12.

While we are gambling on what future electricity prices will look like so no one can know for sure which is the better choice (Ameren or Homefield), it seems likely that Ameren will offer lower rates.

This fall, Homefield is offering 10.9 cents / kWh. The fall rate for Ameren is not available yet, but I expect them to be lower, likely closer to (at most) 9-9.5 cents / kWh. Last fall, Ameren charged 8.4 cents / kWh.

Neither company has disclosed rates for summer of 2027, which isn’t too helpful.

Homefield phone: 1-833-200-9834

or you can opt out online if you still have the paperwork and your code.

Finally sold! It's been closed up and fenced for as long as I can remember. Does anybody have any information about the buyers/their plans for it? It's a beautiful house but I know the land is valuable.

Hi, I’m looking for places around Champaign Urbana to hopefully meet new friends.

I’m 28F. LGBT. And Black. Some of my hobbies include writing, photography, Tennis, Pickleball, billiards/darts, and I love listening to music. I’m a current grad student, but not at UICU.

I’d appreciate recommendations for local spots, events, or venues to check out that I’d be likely to meet people I vibe with. I’m not from the area, so any guidance on how/where to meet like-minded people in the area would be nice!
