I ended up walking away with an end table myself, but I know exactly what antique shop I'll be swinging by every so often, or bringing out of towners who want to see pieces of Chicago history, displayed in a classic Chicago apartment.

It's like a taxidermist went insane, and opened up a store in Andersonville. Everything in here is weird, weird, weird. Anything you get, you'll be the only one to have one like that on your block. Actually, the prices here are quite reasonable, considering that there's not many other options available to get these kinds of materials. The stuff goes from the bizarre to the macabre.

It's nice not to have generic pottery barn or CB items like all the Joneses do. Over the last few years I've been able to find cute knick-knacks for the house, tables, and an antique Eastlake piece that I'm using as a bar. This place is a gem and everyone should visit. Places like this are why I prefer to shop local.

They stock the staples of good design. On the other side of the ledger there are antique stores, where there are always surprises, one-of-a-kinds and the smell of old wood. What's not to like? And then there's PRAHA: A rich collection of new and old, unusual pieces of decorative and architectural elements from Europe and the US, from dovetailed wooden boxes to large furniture pieces, linens and treasures of all types, jams, jellies and dip mixes, antique Shanghai Ladies posters, cottage style furnishings, lamps, trunks, European and domestic enamelware... on and on it goes... For me, PRAHA is like the proverbial candy store, and was elevated to Favorite Store status the first time I stepped inside. Much of the store's allure is the result of many shopping expeditions to Praha (Prague), where the owners purchased furniture and treasures as old as the hills, then shipped via crate back to the US. They trek to the best flea markets in the US. They keep their radar humming 24/7; a find is a find, no matter where it's discovered. But it's not just the merchandise. It's Todd and David, shopkeepers and proprietors. They love their store. They insist on expert craftsmanship in the new items they choose to sell, and enjoy musing on the secret history of their antiques. In chatting with Todd (for almost 2 hours on my first visit!) I discovered we share a love of old enamelware, antique tins, small boxes and interesting little containers. (Talk about a candy store!) Some acquisitions never make it to sale. One such item is an old coffee tin that Todd chose to keep for his own kitchen. It's not on display; it is used to store coffee, like it has been forever. He remarked how he always thinks about its mysterious history, the stories that could be told about the family in Praha who used it for generations. "Just think of it!" he said! There are stores filled with merchandise, clerks, and cashiers. And then there is PRAHA, filled with fabulous treasures, not the least of which are its shopkeepers, Todd and David. Czech it out!
