Check out Lavish Thrift 153 E Lincoln Highway Dekalb

Funky little thrift store with retro clothing and furniture. Normal furniture too. Pictures, knick knacks, just a little of everything. Never the same place twice. Worth a walk through!

How this place changed my life

I went to Northern Illinois University here. Like all places, this city is what you make of it. There isn’t a lot going on compared to nearby Chicago, so it is the people who make it what it is.

That being said, DeKalb has its own nightlife and its own local music scene, that sort of thing. There just isn’t a lot more than the college going for it.

great college town

everything needed in a college town. a large university that has all the attractions including division I athletics and happening business, arts, liberal arts, and teaching schools. all the bars, a ton of college housing and apartments, and so forth. the town is very spread out, which means a drive to the wal-mart or best buy takes a good 15 minutes. it has all the retail and restaurants one would expect out of the suburbs which is a nice comfort for students and residents alike. a great place to live too. however, the downtown isn’t very happenin’ and the job base isn’t so hot. it’s only a 45 minute drive to Naperville though. also, hope you like freight trains, cause they go through here every 5 minutes.
