Exile On Main St. - Have you been there yet?

Because if you haven't, and you're reading this blog... well, you now have no excuse. Exile On Main is owned (in part) and operated by CU native, Jeff Brandt. His brother Jim is around occasionally, and is getting worldwide recognition with his high concept and design for Apostasy (#1 and #2), a comic geared around the vastly popular Half Life 2 computer game. Anyways, they really are a one stop pop-culture shop, with new and used CD's, DVD's, video games, video game consoles and handhelds, and even classic video arcade machines to play for free. FREE DONKEY KONG!!! Come on... you can even test out a new video game before you buy it on their sweet media set up for the 3 main systems. Oh and did I mention Sony PSP movies and games? Special orders are welcome, as well.

It's located at the One Main Plaza in downtown Champaign. There's tons of parking, and if you get hungry, just walk next door to Merry Ann's Diner. Drag yourself away from the mall for a day and kick it there.
