I had stopped by this store a couple weeks prior but found it to be oddly locked up and closed during their published business hours. I found myself back in town and decided to give it another try. This time when I approached, the door was propped open so I was excited to get inside. […]
Lazy Dog Antiques, Roscoe Village
Two bins hidden in the bowels of this Roscoe Village store. Nothing of interest.
RG estate sale
Spur of the moment estate sale Sunday AM yielded a Little River Band album and an Engelbert Christmas album which my girlfriend grabbed up moments before I could stick my mitts into the stack. Can’t believe I found this just a few doors away!

However, this is […]
