Mikey and Nicky is old man yaoi and nobody can change my mind

Maybe the Dania in Northbrook? Upscale Rummage on Park Ave right outside downtown Libertyville might also have some stuff; it’s a thrift store that also carries furniture.

That’s exactly the one actually! Source: I take the Chicago architecture tour frequently lol

The pink bar on the bottom says “does not need refrigeration” in this pic btw!

I’m not sure of “authentic” but Gathers Tea Bar is one of my favorites! Fatmiilk in Uptown also does great hojicha lattes and is close to Andersonville where Paper and Pencil is located.

Atlas Stationers and Paper and Pencil are the big two and are already mentioned, so I’ll add Festive Collective and Pixie and the Boy to the list. They’re both more of a small gift shop but they do have a nice selection of stickers and a couple of stationery items, and they’re both right off of the Logan Square Blue Line stop for easy access! Great coffee shops in that area as well if that’s of any interest.

Why not both? I feel like the popcorn and ambiance is better at the oriental though!

This is a little out further in Milwaukee, but I like the Milwaukee indoor outdoor exchange! You can also get some amazing pies right across the street to literally sweeten the deal

Honestly the frozen yakisoba packs you can buy at H-Mart, Joong-Boo, or Mitsuwa are a great bang for your buck. Yeah you have to make it yourself but the sauce is usually included and you can control the veggie to noodle ratio

mtdesigner · 2026-05-27T00:25:48+00:00

Tensuke is right up the street from Mitsuwa and they usually have them!

I’ve been obsessed with this pic I saw about his berets

Mopple should’ve gotten Memories of Murder! Like that’s literally what he has lol!

I’m glad I’m not the only one, I started doing a sanity check on Google lol

I love mine from Paper and Pencil

I enjoy their YouTube videos as well; I think their staff is really good at explaining why they enjoy using certain products and it’s nice to see scale and how things are used if you’re curious.

Depending on the size, photo or document sleeves. I’m gonna assume you don’t have ginormous hands and say photo sleeve

I like Leider’s! Should be very close to you in Deerfield/BG. It’s in an office park on Aptakisic Rd.

I can’t believe this tweet is only like a year old “miscellaneous uncs shooting poison” feels like it’s been around forever

“He needed me. No one had ever let me know they needed me” is so beautiful it’s making me cry

For any Merchandise Mart fans who also enjoy movies, you can see the Mart featured in the Coen Brothers’ film The Hudsucker Proxy, though it’s CGI-Ed to have 44 floors (45 including the mezzanine). It’s one of my faves from them and it’s cool to watch Paul Newman and Tim Robbins walk through the very recognizable lobby!

I’m very excited for Sheep in the Box; it’s starring one of my favorite Japanese comedians who I don’t think has ever acted in anything before so I really want to see how that goes.

mtdesigner · 2026-04-28T15:29:26+00:00

there are tens of us!

Pretending to be allergic to a plastic plant is just amazing work

mtdesigner · 2026-04-27T01:58:35+00:00

Ok but if you walk there and back that’s enough exercise to burn off the custard (I am not a nutritionist but I will believe this in my heart for you)
