January 12, 2022 Merry Kessler

Skokie (/ˈskoʊki/; formerly Niles Center) is a village in Cook County, Illinois, United States. Its name comes from a Potawatomi word for "marsh." A Chicago suburb, for many years Skokie promoted itself as "The World's Largest Village." Its population, according to the 2010 census, was 64,784. Skokie's streets, like that of many suburbs, are largely a continuation of the Chicago street grid, and the village is served by the Chicago Transit Authority, further cementing its connection to the city.

My friends and I have visited MassVR several times. The staff is welcoming and friendly, and was willing to answer all our questions when we were new. The game itself (VR Champions) is an exceptionally developed multiplayer game. With 3 maps currently available (I have heard more things are in the final stages of development), each experience is fresh and exciting. There are walk-in discounts for students, and regularly occurring "Bootcamp" nights on Wednesdays, where you get trained by experienced players at a huge discount (3 for 1 deal). Considering the reasonable price, it's a great way to spend an evening with friends and/or family. P.S. While the game is quite active (be prepared to sweat), the environment is safe and comfortable. It really is fun for any age group.

AMC Showplace Village Crossing 18

Reviewed By Allen21096 - Chicago, United States

The Village Crossing AMC is our usual theatre, as it is close to home and there are usually a lot of choices in movies of all genres. Though there is food inside from the concession stand, there are also more than a few restaurants in the immediate area if you want to have dinner and a movie. The theatre is well-maintained and clean, including the restrooms, which are well placed. We were in auditorium #6 and though the seats don’t recline, they are comfortable. We came for the movie “Midway” at a matinee performance. The movie, sort of a remake of the 1976 version with Henry Fonda, was very good. Naturally, the special effects have improved and with the new CGI technology so this version does reap the benefits of modern technology. Remember, you may want to plan on coming on Tuesdays, as the admission is a bit more reasonable.
