While on a trip to the TRU by my house I found two of the Mars sets. Getting all excited I drove to 4 of the TRU stores in Milwaukee, the Racine one, 3 in Northern Illinois, and 1 Meijer's stores in IL and 2 in Indiana. This is what I got in return. (...)

(...) I think if there are any they are choosing to lurk. Are you going to school at UofI? I was down there last weekend with some friends. We went to Joe's (I think thats what it called). Too crowded and watered down drinks. Oh well. (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.loc.us.il.cha)

(...) It's not too far from Schaumburg -- they're all in the suburbs. Maybe fifteen minutes away or so. I'm originally from Glen Ellyn, myself. :) Chris (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.loc.us.il.chi)

(...) I just moved to Bloomington last year from Florida. One of the big drawback was that I would miss the LIC in Orlando. But now we're getting one in Chicago... sweet deal! Wheaton? Is that near Schaumberg? My wife and I go to shopping in (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.loc.us.il.chi)
