Well Normal isn't exactly an exciting town but there are things to do just like anywhere else. The thing I used to do a lot was go to the Hookah bar in uptown Normal, but that closed a couple of weeks ago. Right now they are doing a lot of work to uptown Normal so hopefully they add some fun things there, because it is right next to campus. About a mile from campus is a street called Veterans Parkway which basically has everything you need. It's got a Target, mall, restaurants, Jewel, etc. Sometimes me and my friends will just start driving down Veterans and see where we end up. There are sometimes really cool campus evernts going on. The UPB does a good job of booking cool guest speakers and musicians, so if there is something going on that would be cool.
I would say taking a day to go to Chicago would definitely be the way to go. Especially if you've never been there. Normal isn't too interesting of a place, but Chicago is.

Normal doesn't really have all that much to offer when compared to a big city like Chicago. Never the less the town is still kind of intersting and since Illinois State is located in it their is always something to do here
ReplyDeleteI love going down Veterans Parkway just because of all the options you have to chose from!
