Chicago's best record store since 1989, and the Wicker Park location is the flagship. The bins are deep, the staff knows their stuff without being snobs about it, and the used section regularly turns up gems that would cost three times as much online. If you care about music — and in Chicago, you should — this is a pilgrimage.
Insider tip
Hit the dollar bins in the back first. Then work your way to the curated staff picks wall near the register.
