I have visited Mickey's Pet Salon four (4) times in the past two years. I discovered them while looking for a good, reasonably-priced groomer to shave my Pomeranian for summer last year. Being such a small, independent business, I was skeptical about using them, but I gave them a chance, and I'm thrilled that I did. They did a wonderful job grooming him, making sure to pay special attention to what I wanted, while being sensitive to the fact that my Pomie was very new to the experience.
I truly think the best thing about them is the fact that they aren't a huge chain. They actually care about their customers, and they keep your information on file for future use. They are a very courteous and professional couple, and I wouldn't visit anyone else.

Located right across the street from the Anti-Cruelty Society in downtown, this small but well-stocked (cats and dogs) pet supply store is convenient, practical, and competitively priced. The owner of the store was a long-time volunteer at the Anti-Cruelty Society prior to starting his pet supply store, so he's fairly knowledgeable about cat/dog care and the products used to take care of our best friends. I highly recommend this business.

This is one of my favorite Walgreens locations. They are always well stocked and spacious, despite the constant crowd. One thing I love about Walgreen stores are their Easy Saver Catalogs that they have every month. It's like rebate offer with which you can get a few free products and a bunch of savings on other products. If you use it wisely, you could save a bunch every month! This Walgreens is always well stocked with all those products and the service here is great. They always have plenty of cashiers working here to handle the crowds.

I like the store Papyrus mainly for one thing. That one thing is their selection for picture frames. They have such unique and beautiful designs and they look great for your own home or as gifts to friends and family. I don't think I have seen any other store with such a beautiful selection of frames. They also have nice greeting cards and gift wrapping and bags section, but the picture frames are by far their best feature. They are a bit high priced, but worth it for the unique item you are getting.

The acoustics are terrific in this beautiful and historic hall. There is not a bad seat in the house, because of the way it is designed. They of course feature classical concerts , but also have jazz , pop or choral concerts as well. The great Ravi Shanker even played here last year. I had the honor of singing in a choir here some years ago. I feel this place is a must see when visiting Chicago.

I like this Walgreens location because they have a lot of things I can stock up on. I always go here to pick up things like shampoo and soap and stuff.
But what I like even better is that they carry hospital scrubs. They are really reasonably priced here too and I can always find my size. They also carry other supplies for me like pen lights and office supplies.
This store is pretty big and I'm always finding good deals here. It has a great staff and they always help me find things I can't locate.

These people are so great! I had a timing issue on getting my headshots done, and this guy at national photo was right there with me, helping me out despite the fact that they had a lot of problems with the photo quality and the timing. They're professional, thurough and conciencious of the needs of their consumer- me. I'd go there for any photographic imaging you need, they're pretty resonably priced and treat you like you're worth every penny.

Antique Coach and Carriage provided me with a pleasant evening. The driver was very polite, and helpful with pointing out landmarks. The company itself was very cooperative in helping to make the ride special.
My friend once called ahead and made reservations, and had them pick him and his girlfriend up from a restaurant. While on the ride, he proposed to her. Of course she said yes, and then the driver told him there was a bottle of champagne for them under the seat.

My boyfriend and I stopped into Advance Uniform the other day- I had been admiring the bleak-looking sign and oddly-mannequined display case for quite some time. Inside was a cool array of uniforms, which made me nervous when I realized that my boyfriend and I could leave there broke but looking exactly like Chicago Cops, no question about it. Guns and badges and everything....still, it made it a bit more exciting...it's weird to see a place like this in the ever-trendifying south loop, but I like it that way!

There are several Walgreen stores in the area. But this one is by far my favorite. Yea, it gets crowded sometimes, but they have a big store and plenty of (free!) parking spaces, so it really never is a problem.
And if the lines get too long, they will always get a few more cashiers out so you won't be waiting too long.
Plus, the selection here is great. The store is big and well organized and whether you go here for shampoo, diapers, or photos, you will not be disappointed with this location.
