record stores in Chicago

reckless records (on milwaukee ave. in wicker park and in new town) is probably your best bet--it has a mindnumbing collection of used and new stuff, esp. rock; jazz record mart on east illinois downtown is vg source for jazz and blues, albeit on a more modest scale. there's also a couple of good vinyl and used cd places on n. clark street between fullerton and diversey.

nothing says happy anniversary like 'honey, i need to go to a record store'. With a chicago location, it sounds like a John Hughes' style comedy. Agree with loomisjohnson.

the way i see it, you can have a romantic weekend anytime, but you can't always go record shopping in a great music city. buy the wife a couple of cds so she feels special and have a great trip.

Thanks Guys! Great minds think alike.

Dave's records on North Clark street (near Wrightwood) is great. Vinyl only.

You might also consider dropping by MusicDirect. 318 N. Laflin.

Now, do you have your restaurants picked out? Or do you have a thread open at... Foodgon?

Enjoy.
