This Borders has any type of book that you need and a great cafe but the real reason that I love it is because it is building up the area around it. Currently this location isn't known to be all that safe at night, but because of Borders corporate feel and popular demand it is making this area of Chicago grow into a more developed and safer location.

Nationwide vidoe is my choice video rental store in the area. For one, it is always less crowded than Blockbusters or Hollywood vide. Also, it has a better selection of non mainstream movies and videos. for instance, they have lots of foreign film selections and older films that are hard to find anywhere else. They also have some great deals here. The rental prices are a bit lower than the chains and they also have the monthly movie pass so you can get unlimited rentals. Its a nice place with good service.

This instrument store has been here as long as I can remember. I grew up in this great neighborhood and when I started learning guitar as a teen I visited this store many times to buy guitar strings (and to hang out with other kids to learn Stairway to Heaven). We are the reason for the reference to this in "Wayne's World". Seriously this is a great store to buy guitars, amps and accessories. I'm glad they have survived and done well. Loyola college is nearby which probably doesn' t hurt their business any either.

My favorite place for shopping in Chicago...Hard Boiled is one of a dying breed. A true independent store. The staff is the owner, and he loves what he sells. He's turned his passion for music and movies into a store catering to those of us who enjoy the obscure. Inquire about something no one else has heard of, and chances are you'll get an answer. I know it sounds too good to be true, but if you're an independent music and/or film lover, Hard Boiled is the only place you should be shopping.

Blockbuster is my most favorite place to rent movies from. The place has a huge selection of movies and video games to choose from. They offer DVDs and VHS. I always go here for new movies that have just come out. The new releases are almost always in stock. All you need is to sign up for the Blockbuster card to start renting movies from here. This is my number one place to rent movies from!

Tower is a first rate retail store that is up to the minute with the latest releases in just about every genre or style of music, this must be a hard task. They do alot of advertising about their new releases and are great at promotions. I also like their website for ordering online. Their prices are competitive and their customer service is much appreciated. Great place to buy a gift for a loved one or friend.

I have been getting coupons for free rentals for this chain becuase of some promotion I signed up with. Hey, I can get my free movie and get some Ben & Jerry's ice cream or a Coca-Cola product from here now. Buying a gift card from here is a great option for me becuase I don't know what to buy most people I know for their birthday or special occasion. I do know everybody seems to love movies and Blockbuster however.

This place is way cheaper than Blockbuster. They have many movies to rent for as little as a dollar. But usually I just end up buying movies from here - they are hardly more expensive than renting from Blockbuster and I like to add to my collection. They are used movies, probably previously rented, but who cares? As long as the movie plays it works for me. And the cool thing is if you buy a movie you haven't seen before and aren't sure if you'll like, they will usually let you bring it back and exchange it for another movie if it turns out you didn't like it. You can't really beat that.

This location is small, but still offers a good selection. What makes this location the best is its staff: they are friendly, always saying hi when you walk in, and always offering great conversation, movie-related or otherwise. They're good at recommending films and helping you find what you're looking for.
Of course, Blockbuster only offers so many movies--this business is always out of (or doesn't have) something I'm looking for too.
