I live in Urbana– we now have a much steadier system in place. The entire town runs on the students’ cafeteria credits and Target giftcards sent from home.

And having lived in Urbana for a while, I had never heard of this! Time to impress some friends. Thanks for the post!

Hey, I know that place… I live there.
Interesting story that Urbana managed to keep the local economy going by it self. Hadn’t heard of that before.

Awesome. I learn at the Big U– only a freshman, though.

Urbana: a blip in Illinois’ ocean of cornfields with only Unofficial as any real local highlight.
Chicago: A place where you can actually do stuff and attend concerts.

“UIC>UIUC”
Maybe you’re right. If you ignore the entire “prestigious, top-40 institution on a Big Ten college campus” thing, of course.

FWI, many localities have their own currencies. They are obvious not recognized anywhere else, but they can be used in the area where businesses have agreed to accept them. Ithaca, NY is an example. They have what are called Ithaca Hours.
