[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1935830, member: 590800"] (This is obviously just my opinion.) While this is SORT OF true, there are still objective things in this world. In this context, "soul" seems to be referring to a unique charm and "local" feel to Green Street - the idea that it is uniquely charming in the context of Champaign and the University of Illinois. Even just since 2014 or so when I first took my friends out bar hopping there, I do think it has lost much of this charm. It's not like a high rise here or there is going to ruin the vibe immediately, but it has also lost some bars with unique layouts like Firehaus and Brothers, too. It definitely has less of a "local" feel and more of a "generic" or "chain" feel. Don't get me wrong ... still love it, and there are still some absolute classics like Legends and Murphy's. It could just afford to have another cool little pub or locally owned restaurant or something, IMO. [/QUOTE]
