[QUOTE="Illiniguy74, post: 1935958, member: 656008"] The UGA (University of Georgia, Athens) campus town and surrounding area in 2023 looks and feels much like UIUC when I arrived in 1970, New apartments are located away from campus. Kids looking to live closer to campus live in older apartments and houses. Kids don't seem to mind the old school vibe and, of course, the alums love it. Mrs. Illiniguy74 and I used to occasionally visit the Varsity for a chili dog. It was always packed on football Saturdays. Unfortunately, it closed after a tussle with the local government over expansion. It was a campus institution. We have attended a few football games. I must say that while it's a great atmosphere, it is no better than what we experienced when the 80s belonged to the Illini. [/QUOTE]
