96 N 6th St

According to Jack Petty there is an amazing record store on this street somewhere.

Just opened at this new location, hopefully it's as good as it used to be.

This place might have closed, but apparently it's great and tru punx til death

118 W 3rd St

I went to a punk rock show here once, it was great. This awesome 90's pop punk band reformed and played because my friend was three hours late for his set.
They sell records here, but according to Jack and Zac they're not that great.
Most importantly this happened there:

1854 W North Ave

This store has 3 locations, Zac said there were 2 and that the one on the northside of town was the best. But there are 2 on the north side of town so fuck that guy. One time he pissed in my fridge. I'm really not happy about it.
Guessing by it's proximity to Logan Square, which is the punx part of town, I would guess he was talking about this one.

According to Zac, this is The Tote of Chicago.
Zac is a sweetheart, but he is also a douche-bag.
