Shop Away Your Winter Blues ~ In Chicago’s West Loop

9 January 2010 No Comment

Winter is settling in nicely in Chicago. We have a ton of snow on the ground, it’s freezing cold, you would rather watch reruns on T.V. then go outside, and since the holidays are over so your also settling back into your daily routine. Boring right?

Well one of the benefits of living or visiting in Chicago is that even in the dead of winter you can still find something to do without freezing your buns off. The theater, concerts, museums, comedy clubs, unique restaurants, lounges, bars, and of course fabulous shopping!

Chicago is one of the best cities to shop. Most people head to Michigan Avenue to shop. However, have you checked out some of Chicago neighborhoods such as Lincoln Park (Armitage and Halsted), Wicker Park (Milwaukee, North Avenue, and Damen), and the upcoming West Loop (Fulton Market)  for a unique and fun shopping experience?

If you haven’t and your looking of something different and fun to do instead of sitting inside having the winter blues; why don’t you invite you friends or you mom and plan a trip to one of Chicago fabulous shopping districts.

May I suggest checking out the upcoming and trendy West Loop?
