Almost every day on my way to work, I pass the Your Snappy Shop at 3544 W Irving Park Rd , just before Central Park Rd. I have yet to walk into the shop -- it appears to cater to women only -- but I am just curious enough to make a visit. This shop strikes me as a throwback to a different time.
A quick google search tells me that this retail store provides elegant dresses at affordable prices. Again, not of direct use to yours truly per se, but as I have tons of lady friends who often lament about having to go to another wedding or banquet and not being able to afford a new dress -- and they cannot use the umpteenth thousand brides maids dresses they already own because one other person has seen them in it -- I could recommend this place to them.
Of course that presents another challenge. Many of these aformentioned people don't realize that Chicago extends beyond Ashland Avenue. They believe that if you go west of Western, a dragon will swallow you up whole and spit out your bones.
This has its advantages and its disadvantages. The advantage is that when the day finally comes, I'll be able to buy so much house and still live in the city, The disadvantage is that when I want to have friends over, most will suddenly come up with some incurable disease or ailment that requires them to stay at home.
Too bad it closed!
ReplyDeleteThe interesting thing is they didn't go out of business, but simply didn't have anyone to take over
