Exile on Main Street

Apparently Exile on Main Street has been open for about five months without me knowing anything about its existence until yesterday. During my lunchbreak I was smoking a cigar and walking around downtown Champaign when I noticed that one of the store fronts at the new One Main building had an oldish stand-up coin-op video game in the window. Turns out Exile on Main Street is a new and used CD/DVD/videogame establishment. Not exactly my cuppa but still pretty durn cool. The music section includes a resptable shefload of local musicians and labels. I nearly bought a neat looking magazine called Retro Gamer, but it was a British import with a cover price of thirteen dollars American. Yeesh. I take back all the things I've ever said about Dragon being too pricy.

    Sorry I hadn't mentioned it before.
    It's not a bad place, run by an ex-Volition (the coinop's used to be in the breakroom). I've been in before
    to pick up a copy of phantom brave, good trade-ins, but the music and general video sections are the winners. I could spend entirely too much money in there on Afrikka Bambaata, old Electronica, and used kung-fu.

    No need to apologize old chap. Like I said, this Exile joint isn't exactly my cup o' tea. I mentioned it here mainly because I thought you and Dave ought to know about it.
