Chicago, IL 60614

Categories:
Toy Stores,

Bottom line: While most of the vinyl toys are meant for collectors, children with discerning tastes will be well served here in the gift department with reasonably priced blind boxes, unusual plushies (check out the Pecanpals) and tees. $5 to $40…More »

There aren't many real, sole proprietor bakeries in Tacoma.And the best cakes in the city are made at Old Milwaukee, where you'll never SEE a pastry on display. You know something's afoot when you gotta order a la speakeasy. Pat is a major sugar addiction pimp. This list is seriously under construction. Here's where you can find the (baked) goods: |
A contrast in burgers (2)Here are two burgers from Tacoma - I just wanted to study the contrasts. For me, it's not the cost as much as the intention, attention to detail and quality. |

When I say "diverse" - I mean it in every way - not just the life styles and ethnicities, but the range of goods & services as well. Here's a taste - just a sample - of what's in one small section - around the 4300 block!! |
