Yessir!!!!
Used to be down the street, then they moved there. By Scott's Pet Shop.
Great Italian Beef too, if that's something you like.
I think Drew's is closed, but it was so seductive leaving brothers at 2:00 am (5 bucks for a hot pizza). One world was in the same category.
My roommates and I were big fans of the stuffed Prime Time Pizza, especially since we only lived a few blocks away and we could save on delivery charges.

<--- Still sad that Bonnie Jean's closed.
Huh? I've never even seen the Prime Time thin crust pizza. It's all deep dish. Maybe you have it confused with some other place?
This reminds me.. I love "The Stack" from Merry-Ann's. Just a classic 3AM meal.

I do! I think you and I must be about the same age. I loved Space Port.
What about Mabel's? I loved O'Malley's also -- I went there too often.
I remember eating at Vriner's once and seeing a very very large rat scurrying on the ground. I think an REO Speedwagon album has a picture of them in front of Vriner's.

There is stuffed pizza...which is "deep dish", Chicago style, Papa Del's, etc.
and their "thin crust" is the other type.

At least that's my interpretation of pizza varieties
Ah, I see. I've only had the Chicago-style from Prime Time. My roomies always ordered it at like midnight it helped me put on aournd 70 pounds in college which was a b*tch and a half to lose.

Reo's second album I believe, the back cover was shot inside Vriners, later I worked there when it was a bar,(No Name Saloon) REO came in for a party before their concert at the Assembly Hall.
Mabels was disgusting but a great place to hear live bands, I went back a couple years ago (Now Brothers) and was shocked, you could actually see out the windows, your feet didnt stick to the floor, and the bathrooms were nice.

Yeah I saw a show or two at Mabel's and I remember everything in the place just about was painted black. Perhaps it was to cover up the nastiness better (make it less visible).

Yes High Dive is still there. That was the place to be when it first opened about 10 years ago. Haven't been there in ages.

Canopy isn't too bad...I saw a couple of bands there...Lucky Boys Confusion...and an early version of Fall Out Boy
How about we kinda make this thread or possibly a new one kind of like our own food critic thread. Let's say you just went out and had a terrific meal, or sometimes more importantly a terrible one, and you wanted to talk about it, either by telling us to go or not to go. It could also be the place to talk about new restaurant openings. I'm not from champaign(I live about 45 minutes away) and I would find this thread extremely useful. There are just so many places to eat in chambana, that with me being an outsider, its a little overwhelming. A place that looks like a total dump on the outside might be a total gem on the inside. Anyway, just my thoughts!

I saw LBC, Mighty Mighty Bosstones and, believe it or not, Tiffany at the Canopy Club.

I think we're alone now. There doesn't seem to be anyone around.
