Northern Illinois University (DeKalb)

I envision this thread providing information on cheap games and other such deals in or near DeKalb, Illinois.

Not much goes on here, so I theorize the surrounding areas, like Elgin, Naperville, Aurora, St Charles, Rockford, and the like would be a god area to represent.

Not quite Chicago, but not quite unknown, either.

There's more to DeKalb than the rest area on the I-88 toll?

 

[MisterMusic67]

Heh, barely. Been here for 10 years, and I'm still doing the same things around town that I was in 4th grade.

Yes, though, there is more.


You just have to know where to find it.

Especially when it's soooo cold like this.

I lived in Hampshire for 5 years. NIU was my parents' alma-mater, and I've gone to several basketball and football games. They have a pretty cool anime club as well.

There's a decent strip club a few miles south, little higher weight class them some of the nicer ones though.

Well, when drinking, and depending on how said weight is worn....this is not a negative. My brother went to NIU. We saw Motorhead at Otto's a few + years back. Morbid Angel opened. Great, great show. It was waaaaay too loud, though. After it ended, we got in my brother's car. He turned on the radio which was playing the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It sounded like the Muppets with someone scratching a record behind it. The beers were 2 or 3 bucks, though. That was a good day. Night. Whatever.

LOL, haha theres also Lord Stanley's and Otto's, I was just out there not too long ago to see Local H. Love the town, wouldn't like to live there though.

I went to school at NIU. Lots of great memories there. Is Record Rev still around?

 

[Mag215]

hate NIU. went there for 2 years.

Still play shows at the house though. Only legit thing besides the 24/7 walmart

 

[ElementBreaker]

I grew up in Aurora went back to NIU for this semester is there even a good place to buy games out here?

I'm going to get my masters in the science of Accounting there. Kind of sucks since it's a flipping hour or more from where I live (each way). I just don't think I could live out there. However I do want a degree from that school...It's shockingly a very good and affordable school to learn accounting. You get some decent credentials for auditing just by graduating with a financial accounting degree.
