The University Bookstore definitely has the best selection of all the bookstores in town. There are some university produced materials (study guides, etc) that you can't get anywhere else. They also have an incredibly convenient location. They also have a nice selection of snacks and drinks if you are hungry when you're in the student center. That said, their prices are kind of high.

While I didn't buy my car from Ike, I take my 97 Honda Civic there for repairs and maintenance. They have been very reliable and do great work.

I am a big cat person; I have four. They are an essential part of my life; they're family. When I need to take these guys into the vet, I take them to Central Hospital for Animals. We've had the same vet for about two and a half years now. The vet is very attentive to the animals, but does not overly make over the cats (something they hate). We usually get in and out in about 30 minutes max, and this is with two cats. By the way, Central gives a 10% discount if you bring in two or more animals at the same time for care.

It is so hard to find a deli that isn't a franchise anymore, and this is a well-kept secret it the heart of southern Illinois. The deli in the back is a perfect stop for lunchtime, wher eyou can get a fresh deli sandwhich or single-serving of salds. Free parking but a bit pricey, so watch your spending.

This discount furniture store is pretty close to campus and might negotiate with you if they life. The prices are reasonable but it makes me very suspicious of how good the furniture is because sometimes I see it on display on the street. There is parking in the back and I have heard from others that they offer free delivery so that might be worth it considering gas prices.

I became acquianted with the Longbranch Coffee House when I moved back to Carbondale in 2001. This coffee shop specializes mainly in organic, local, and fairly traded foods and beverages. The shop makes a variety of beverages from the traditional coffees and teas to organic juices and smoothies. The restaurant also has a brunch and lunch menu that has snack food items on it as well. The atmosphere is friendly and a nice place for people such as hippees, liberals, and others that are not interested in going to a traditionally glitzy coffee house.

More
The Neighborhood Co-op is a local grocery store that specializes in organic groceries, health foods, alternate medicine, and promotes local farmers and vendors when possible. This grocery store is different in the sense that shoppers have the option of becoming co-owners with voting power over the future of the store by purchasing a $100 share in the store. This share offers many benefits, one which includes the possiblity of getting a rebate on groceries at the end of the fiscal year.
This store offers beneftis beyond healthful living to the shopper. In fact, I have used this store to purchase natural healing products for my cats, as well as creating a baby shower basket made out of organic baby food (in part) for my sister when she was expecting my nephew. The price for the products are a bit high compared to what you would pay at Kroger or Schnucks but I think it is worth it to pay a bit extra for my health.

Do you want to take Fido or Fluffy for a walk? Well, Animal Crackers is the perfect place for a break on your path! This store specializes mostly in dogs and provides obedience training, doggy day care, and kennel boarding, but also has a large selection of catt products. I have shopped here for cat food, collars, shampoos, and purifying fountains. The staff is helpful and goes out of their way to help you locate what you are looking for. One word of caution though -- if large dogs scare you, this might not be your place! Owners and staff alike can be seen walking dogs on leashes, but credit must be given because the dogs are well controlled. If you want to support local business and take care of your pet, this is your store.

Who doesn’t love a good frappuccino? Gloria Jeans makes some of the best around, with seasonal favorites that I wish they’d add to their year-round menu. They seem to have a frappucino for every holiday imaginable, with my
favorite being the pumpkin spice. The employees are usually college-age girls who are pretty friendly. There are a few items available to purchase to use at home, such as different types of coffees as well as a few trinkets. There is no Gloria Jeans near where I live now and that makes me
very sad.
