Scout: An Andersonville Original Featuring Great Furnishing and Decorative Finds
Scout has a special place in our hearts here at House 5863 because many of the decorative elements and furnishings found at our B&B originated here. Items in his shop are always fresh and truly one of a kind. His decorative and display skills are beyond compare and he brings a well-heeled knowledge to his unique inventory. He often finds that piece that you simply cannot live without. Scout is located at 5221 North Clark Street. www.scoutchicago.com

Woolly Mammoth: No Comparison
Ok, there is really no way to fit this Andersonville shop in to any standard category. It is truly unique beyond compare. Combine an odd taxidermy fixation with a compulsion for throw back toys and games and you start to get a sense of where this shop gets its vibe. We are always amuzed, awed and entertained when we enter and always leave with an odd sense of discovery.
The Wooly Mammoth is located in Andersonville at 513 West Foster. www.woollymammothchicago.com

A New "Local Shop" Comes to Our Hood: Found Vintage Living
On a recent stroll through the hood we were pleased to see that a long vacant area storefront had finally found a new tenant and an interesting one as well. Found Vintage Living...or "Found" has opened for business at 1551 West Berwyn.... just blocks away from our bed and breakfast. Take a look at their Facebook page to get an idea of of the interesting items you can ... uh hm ....find here. Welcome to the neighborhood and we look forward many new discoveries here.
