McNulty's on Christopher Street in Manhattan... they have coffee beans from regions all over the world, and tea too, and some other stuff, but I always only purchased coffee there. I miss it so much!!

Enjoy some skating at the rink near the bean in Chicago

I personally like to read all your posts in this thread homoe.....

I can see why Chicago is so very special to you!

Your post about shopping at Macy's during the new year bedding sales, in particular. I love buying new sheets and comforters and bedroom clothing ideas!

You know after I posted that Macy's picture, I wondered if they still have such things as January White Good sales........And yes if one is looking for something fun to do, you'll find tons in Chicago!

Women and Children First Bookstore...

5233 N Clark St, Chicago

Reminds me of Village Books,https://booksinbriefdotnet.files.wor...age-books1.jpg in Fairhaven-Bellingham

Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro in Bellingham is the only place I remember going to my one and only trip up there.......I remember it was packed and had great food

Marshall Fields bought out by Macy's. I'm still sad.

Who bought out Carson, Pirie, Scott??

In 1989, Carson Pirie Scott & Co. was acquired by P.A. Bergner & Co. founded in Peoria, who operated the Bergner's, Charles V. Weise, Myers Brothers and Boston Store chains.

We had Boston Stores in Milwaukee for years and years but I do believe they were sold to someone also.....let me check and get back to you :seeingstars:

We went here again Thursday and stuffed ourselves like pigs :hangloose:

Salty Tea Cup woo woo 👠
 

West of my home town, out in the charming neighborhood of St John's, is the cute little dress, cards, and gifts boutique called Salty Tea Cup. I like to buy clothing or pretty cards or even special jewelry at this boutique. What I like about their clothes is that they're made by independent clothing artists and can't be found in big department store chains or elsewhere. I like their business. Local independent business is a great way to find better quality clothing or gifts. I highly recommend this small boutique.

I'm adding this to places to go to when I get down your way Miss Katz.....so far my top three are Allport Cards, Voodoo Donuts, and Powell's Books! :hangloose:

Okay,,,,,, but remember to put down Movie Madness, Nick's Famous Coney Island hot dogs, and Bagdad Theater (for film and food). :)

Voodoo donuts is worth the trip/experience.

There donuts are huge and very unique...in many ways.

Located on the west side of Chicago, this bakery is an must see and dining experience.
