We went to a few movies in Schaumburg as well as to a few of the restaurants in that mall.
Schaumburg's Woodfield Mall is still there, but I rarely shop there so I can save money to buy a house in The Villages one day. .

The area near the mall has changed quite a bit. I doubt if any of the restaurants in the mall from 1994 are still there. The movie theater is no longer inside Woodfield Mall, but across the street in another mall called Streets of Woodfield. Non-matinee/evening prices are $14.57 for adults, $12.95 for seniors age 60 and up. So bring your big wallet or purse if you want to see a non-matinee/evening movie in Schaumburg.

The movie theaters in The Villages are a bargain.
