Re: [h-cost] Re: Chicago trip
If you are looking for something other than fabric stuff and you like zoos, Chicago had 2 really nice zoos. You can't go wrong with either Lincoln Park or Brookfield, although Brookfield is larger.

The main Indian area in Chicago is on the Northside on Devon Ave between Western Ave. and California Ave. There's tons of sari shops, lots of Indian style jewelry shops, and fabulous Indian restaurants.

You can check them out ahead of time: http://www.voguefabricsstore.comVogueFabricsStore.com Also check out the Sari district - I'm not sure where it is exactly (we were in a group), but I'm sure someone here can narrow it down. That was the place I finally found a salwar kameez set that was both in a color I liked and in my size (large - XL to XXL and tall - 5' 11) DH got a suit too. But it's not just limited to clothing - picked up lots of saris for fabric and fabric lengths also. HTH, Sandy At 09:47 AM 2/16/2007, you wrote: Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2007 19:14:20 -0500 From: Susan B.

Almost certainly Devon street (avenue?). When I lived near there, Devon was a mix of Indian and Orthodox Jewish neighborhood, which made the lunch choices very interesting. Good spice shops too. --Robin ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
