My father lives in the Chicago area and when I visited two years ago, he took me to Wolfes (indoor/outdoor flea market). My father wasn't/isn't up to speed on tiki but he thought they would have some stuff. I found some HIP/Polyart/Coco Joes items, tiki swizzle sticks, tiki matchbook covers and some old robots. This was in February as well, so the outdoor flea market wasn't going.

I did not have anytime to investigate the eateries or bars. He took me to some thrift shops, but I didn't find anything in any of these shops.

Now that I have some ideas, thanks to the help of fellow TC'ers, I can get the ball rolling with my dad. This will expedite my pursuit of my favorite past time, collecting and enjoying tiki, even though Chicago in February is a little on the cool side. Continue to give me more ideas if you think of any more!

Thanks for the help,

Psycho Tiki D (I know I am and will be even more so in Chicago)!
