In Chicago Next Week...

So I'll be in Chicago next Tues - Thurs for work, I am staying downtown (Hilton)
I may or may not have any free time, but since this is my first time there, I want to try to see some of the cool galleries and stores and stuff if I can.

Please school me on your city Chicagoans! (I hope that is the right term even haha)

Thanks!

Uncle Fun on Belmont near Western, get an address from google, they're an awesome junk shop. Weird crap for dirt cheap!

 

Mystery City is a cool little toy joint. mostly 'western' tho.

 

isnt rotofuji in chicago?

 

Indeed, Rotofugi is in Chi-Town!

 

Sweet, I can load up on clear Squbes!

 

go to AL's beef and have a sanwich. you won't be sorry.

 

Also if you're into retro/used toys for cheap go to Quake on Southport, TONS of crap from Star Wars glass' from the 70's to Ultimate Warrior Wrestling Buddies. Great for those treasure finds!

 

mystery city is going out of business.....bullshit investors. Im so fucking pissed.

 

WTF!?!

 

Oh man that fucking sucks!
Josh was super cool when I spoke to him!!
Are you guys planning on starting something else?

 

we'll see i guess....josh got jacked pretty hard...

 

Chicago Comics off Belmont...very fun.

 

Yeah -a Chicago Hero statuette (designed by Chris Ware, sculpted by Alex Ross) from Chicago Comics is the perfect souvenir.
