Did you know that you can rent a movie from here. Earwax is a one stop shop for some of us. You can sit down, get a bottomless cup of coffee, eat some cake and then go and pick out a movie to rent from their library. This place is great. Make sure that you try the vegan cake if you like vegan food.

This music store is not only a great place to go find your favorite cd's and dvd's but it is also a historic treasure of the chicago suburbs. This store caters to the needs of any music lover that comes in. The walls are lined with many different categories of music cd's that you can easily spend 3 hours browsing to your heart's content. Also, they have a section that is dedicated to just Music Dvd's. You can find the most obscure music artists in here and even those hard to find artists that you have had trouble finding elsewhere. Their prices are very reasonable. At many times, mainstream CD's and popular artists are sold here for less than ten dollars while being sold for close to 15 dollars elsewhere. They're conveniently open till midnight every single night and the staff here is awesome! Extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

A nice runner-up to Dr. Wax. The music runs a bit cheaper here -- used records are mixed right in the normal stacks. Definitely no shortage of music -- I've found that the collection has a slight punk bent. Go here for your side projects & solo efforts, your limited editions, split 7"'s and promo discs. The staff makes it known what they listen to as well -- a listening station lets you hear their favorites. They also fill helpful little labels on the cellophane with enthusiastic copy. They buy music as well -- store credit greater than the cash equivalent.
Definitely worth your time. Go to Dr. Wax for the selection, but if you see it at Reckless too, it just might be cheaper.

The Staff there was so friendly & Knowledgeable & was able to name the song & artist of several songs from the 70's when i just hummed a few parts & or new only a couple lyrics. I was totally blown away. They special ordered 3 albums for me & knew whre I could get 2 songs I was looking for on compilation albums so i would not have to special order them & with the compilations I would get a lot more songs that i would enjoy instead of an album with one good song & the rest duds. I highly recommend Rock Records to anyone

This is my favorite Borders, because it is always so quite. The ones that are closer to downtown have a tendency to have a lot of tourists swimming around in them looking for books on Chicago and it is hard to sit down and relax. This place has a great staff.

I love this venue, I really do, but sometimes you have to wonder if it's going to fall down on your head. Ha! My sister and I went here for Jason Mraz concert in Oct 2005, my sister for Relient K in Nov 2005 and both concerts were AWESOME. The theater staff was very nice (we had a lady in a wheelchair with us for the Mraz concert and they were VERY helpful getting her a place to watch the concert).

We came here to see a modern dance performance and the dancers were GREAT. We were very impressed with their skills. It was pretty modern though, and a little strange. Still, we tried to enjoy it. The facility is very nice, recently built with a little coffee area to chill in during intermission. Came here with my girlfriend/now wife on one of our first dates. :>)

The people that work at Hollywood Video are really nice. I go here on occassion, when I can't find what I am looking for at Blockbusters. This place has just as good of selection and they always carry all the new releases. They're not always all in stock, but they do have them! They also carry a good selection of older movies and some hard to find movies. One time, the guy at the front counter forgot to take the security blocker off of the DVD. When I took it back to get it taken off, he gave me two coupons for free rentals. Now thats sweet.

I have been to this Border's location several times looking for medical books. I like this Border's because their medical section is quite good and well packed with books. I also like the fact that they will order anything for you if they don't have it on their shelves.
The pricing here is pretty much the same as any big retailer BUT if you sign up for their rewards club, you will be able to get coupons where you can save 30% on certian days. 30% is a lot of savings, especially when you buy expensive books like me.

You say you want friendly service? Well, you got it here! Everytime I go in here (and I mean it when I say everytime) the people working are so super nice. They go out of their way to make sure you find what you need and even make good suggestions.
Last time I went in, I was looking for the movie Home Alone. Couldn't find it out on the floor, so I asked a guy working there. He was so super nice and looked things up on his computer, and though they did not have it, helped me locate it in another store. Talk about great service.
