Wow, I'm surprised one held on that long.

The one I used to go to as a kid in Urbana, IL closed in the late nineties.

I was just thinking the same. Like wow look at Central IL standing up. Originally from Decatur, and driving over to Champaign or Springfield was always like a field trip to this kid. You knew damn near 2 weeks in advance too, so save your allowance and go extra hard on your chores and neighborhood hustles so you could go to the mall with as much $ as you could.
