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.
Will be in the area for work for 3 months. I came out here with my last little bit of money to my name
In the meantime, I was wondering are there any pantries or organizations that give away free food? Or anything similar?
Did someone say FREE Fighting Illini football tickets?!
THAT'S RIGHT, ILLINI! We did! If you are one of the first 500 people to attend Krannert Center's Opening Night Party on September 3rd, you can pick up a FREE voucher good for TWO tickets to the Illinois Fighting Illini vs. Southern Illinois Salukis game on Saturday, September 19th at Gies Memorial Stadium!
DON'T MISS OUT—these tickets are first come, first serve and will be available at the Krannert Center information table in the lobby.
This opportunity would not be possible without the University of Illinois Division of Intercollegiate Athletics. Gear up, Illini! We hope to see you here soon!

If public speaking, presentations, or networking aren't your strong suit, this might be worth checking out.
Just this. And any advice about hiring one.
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!
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!

Hello! I live in Urbana, just shooting out a message to see if anyone else is interested in hangout or talking about hobbies & meet knew people. Im pretty big into cosplay and hand craft working if thats your vibe, hmu! I don't have a job currently so I have lots of free time & volunteer when I can. Feel free to shoot me a message anytime!
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
My niece is starting at UIUC in fall. She receives allergy shots, and has called around (McKinley and Carle for sure) looking for an allergist, but those she has spoken to are going to make her start from scratch (literally) with allergy testing instead of administering the vials from her home doctor. Anybody know of a local allergist that would not make her go through all that?

I’ve got an album of rough mixes that need vocals. I was previously collaborating with my wife but she wanted to stop so now I’m looking for a new collaboration. There is potential for this to be a long term project as I have a lot more tracks than this.
Please take a listen, and if you wanna work together let me know.

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!
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.
