University Auto Park is an automotive dealership in Urbana. It is part of the O'Brien Auto group. University Auto Park sells Toyota, Volkswagen, Mazda, and Chrysler. The service department is horrible. I took my Volkswagen Jetta in to have a blinker replaced. I thought that this would be a very painless, quick, and in expensive repair. First of all, the service advisor did not return my calls when I left messages or previously talked to her like she said she would. When I came, I had to go through the whole detail again. Anyway, I did not arrange for a ride because as I said, I expected it to be painless. A few hours went by and no one updated me. At this point I asked what was going on. I was told they were still working on my car. I told them this was unacceptable and demanded they told me what the status was. So the service advisor goes and checks (you can see them working on your car so I know that she talked to the guy) and comes back and says "oh they dropped the down inside your car so they had to get it out. Well, they did this not once, but three times!!! For over three hours I sat there and waited for a simple light bulb to be replaced because of their incompetent staff. Oh and the charge was around $100. Absolutely ridiculous!! Go somewhere else, even if you have to drive for the service.

Gatsby's is located in Carbondale, Illinois, the home of Southern Illinois University. Southern Illinois University is known as a major party school and Gatsby's fits right in. Gatsby's is a two level (two level tandem, not up and down) bar that isn't absolutely disgusting to be in. There are billiards, drinks, darts, a dance floor, food, and two bars. The place is frequented by sororities and fraternities, so if you aren't into that scene, I would definitely suggest going somewhere else. However, if you are into guys beating each other up, there is usually a frat fight after closing every weekend at Gatsby's . They do it just because they are guys and drunk. Anyway, Gatsby's has a prime location, within walking distance of the university, reasonable drink rates, good selection, plenty of parking and seating.

BJ's is an excellent one stop shop for everything. They do hair, nails, feet, face, massage, spa, etc... I've had many services done and I've never been disappointed. Tori does my hair. She is a senior director and has been there many years. She always does a fabulous job. I have also gotten an hour massage there a few times and it was heaven. I literally felt unconcious. I couldn't believe how relaxed I was. Of course, then I had to return to the real world. Tina waxed my eyebrows and did a fabulous job. She gets it done with as minimal pain as possible. They are a little bit more expensive than other places, but definitely worth the money for a job done excellent the first time!!

First Baptist Church is a very large church in Thomasville, GA located across from the town courthouse. It is also in downtown Thomasville, a very quaint little southern town. There are about 3,000 people who attend so it is a large congregation. Expect to feel overwhelmed at first, but the people are very kind and loving and you will feel at home in no time. The preacher Dan Spencer is young and excellent. He has a lovely family and is a wonderful leader. The choir is also very excellent and well known. There are all kinds of programs for every age during the week as well as multiple ones on Sunday. This is an excellent place to raise children in their spiritual life and to grow in yours.

I went to Central Middle School for grades6-8 a while back. There are many great things about this school. It is very diversified with kids coming from the city as well as the county. The bus routes take kids all over the town so there isn't a problem with them being able to get to school. The cafeteria serves decent food. The middle school is set up like a high school so they kids don't feel like little kids. The teachers are very good. There are many education opportunities such as gifted programs, summer opportunities, camps, etc... Another great thing is that if you live in the city limits you can pay a small fee to go to the school since it is technically a county school. It's definitely worth the extra taxes.

I went here for elementary school back in the day. The principal at the time was Ms. Penny. I loved her to death. Anyway, this school goes K-5 and has excellent teachers. In the 4th grade you start switching classrooms to get prepared for Middle School. The cafeteria and gym are both very large. It is in a nice area of town and a very well cared for school. Most of the teachers have been there for a while and love teaching there. It is one of the high performing schools in Georgia. They have lots of ways for kids to get involved at school, such as safety guards. These are generally 4th and 5th graders who help the youngers kids to cars and such. It is a special position and you have to be chosen for it. Great school.

I grew up in Thomasville, GA and my mother actually works at this business as the office manager. All of the staff is very friendly. They have a great selection of office supplies and products available. If they don't have it in stock, they are always willing to order it. They are reasonably priced and much better than places such as Office Depot. They also have a print shop where you can get invitations, business cards, stationary, etc... printed for a very fair price. If you are a business, they have business accounts that you can charge on. They also sell Hallmark items such as cards, gifts, ornaments, etc...

Provena Covenant in Urbana is a private hospital with quite a bit of money. However, they seem like a poor county hospital. The staff is not very accomodating and caring. My grandmother was there after exhaustion and high blood pressure and they definitely aren't child friendly. The corridors are dimly lit and the furnishings are very out of date. They are also very limited in the types of Insurance that they accept. Don't expect them to be willing to help you out.

There are many different peds to choose from at Carle Clinic. Dr. Melvin is by far one of the best. He has very specialized training. He really cares for his patients and always does thorough exams. It's never a 5 minutes to spare for you and then your out type thing. He listens to your concerns in all seriousness and advises accordingly. He is always very good with girls, which can sometimes be a concern having a male ped. I definitely recommend him and wish I could go back to him. My stepmother uses him for her 4 kids and he knows all of them by name and sight.

In Champaign, there are two hospitals to choose from: Carle Hospital and Provena Covenant. Carle Hospital is definitely the better choice. Carle has a very nice interior and warm feel. In 2004, I delivered my first child. I was induced and the staff made me feel very welcome. They were very accomodating to my family ( I have a lot of it), and made me feel at home. The LDR are very spacious and contain extra chairs, TVs, etc... The monitoring equipment is state of the art as well. The mother and baby ward has great security and the Newborn nursery is also wonderful. This is a Level I Trauma center with a spectacular NICU. They also accept a wide range of insurance.
