I've only shopped here a few times, but it is basically the only place in town to get high quality camping and outdoor type gear in town. They also have north face and nalgene bottles! The prices are kinda high, but I guess you're paying a premium for buying the stuff locally instead of getting on the internet or driving to chicago or st louis.

Shoes 'n stuff is the kind of shoes store where they can recommend a shoe just by looking at how you walk. I've always had great luck with the running shoes I've bought here. They don't steer you towards the expesive stuff either. Every shoe I've bought has been on sale. That said, they don't really have any "fashionable" shoes. Don't come in here expecting to see cool colorways or trendy styles. Everything is utlitarian and functional.

I am not really a fan of this thrift store because they have an extremely small selection and the highest thrift store prices in town. I have found a few funny t shirts here, but most of the stuff is pretty worthless. It is much better organized and cleaner than other thrift stores though. They just don't have the same selection of wacky merchandise.

710 is just a typical university bookstore. It has all the textbooks you will need, as well as the best selection of art supplies in town and other school supplies like notebooks, pens, etc. They also have lots of SIU themed apparel as well as computers, computer software, and reference books. This is where I usually buy my school books because of the convenient location.

Castle Perilous is a gaming store that stocks all kinds of roll playing games, collectible card games, miniatures, etc. Their prices are reasonable and they provide rooms for people to game in as well as organizating various tournaments and gaming sessions. The employees are kind of cranky, but most comic-book/gaming stores are.

My dog stayed here for about 3 weeks a few years ago. Their prices are much lower than keeping the dog at the vet's and they are located in a nice country setting. The only problem that we had was that our dog had fleas when she came back. I'm not sure if I would use them again.

We visit Dillinger's to buy food for our dog. They have a great selection of the higher end dog foods. Their prices are reasonable and they have a frequent buyer program. They have pet supplies for many other types of animals, and the people there are very friendly and will help carry things to your car. This isn't a fancy pet store, but do what they do, well.

Mike's Music sells new and used musical instruments and offers musical lessons. I bought a guitar here and never had any problems with it. I also took drum lessons. I've also sold several guitars and amps here. They always deal fairly with you and give a pretty good price for selling things. I'd definitely recommend this place to my friends.

Rosetta Stone is basically the only place in Carbondale where you can find more obscure art, design, and music magazines. They also have a selection of books as well as DVDs for rent. The DVDs, I believe are way too expensive, but unless you have Netflix, there is no other way to get obscure art films in the backwater town.

Book World is a used bookstore that also sells used movies and magazine back issues. Their selection is nowhere near as extensive as Bookworm and they do not accept credit cards. I think the only reason to visit here is if you wanted back issues of Rolling Stone or Playboy. I believe they carry some film magazines also. It is also much closer to campus.
