A monument to the printed word in a mid-century modern building just down the street from the el stop. Chicago Main Newsstand carries every periodical you could possibly want for the train ride into the city. Can't you just imagine a Don Draper type stopping by on his way to work?

located on Chicago Ave between Main and Washington in Evanston, IL.

located on N. Milwaukee in the Wicker Park neighborhood.
