Alley (The)
 

Description

If you like leather, motorcycle jackets, Grateful Dead paraphernalia, and "smoking novelties," then you have just found paradise here. This vast store sells just about every alternative gadget and gimmick. People flock to this shop more than any other store in the "Alternative Shopping Complex." If you have ever wondered where that grungy guy on the street picked up his Looney Toons smoking questionable substances T-shirt, wonder no more. A huge collection of underground T-shirts can be found among the chaos of other clothes and skull and crossbones knickknacks.

My favorite place to shop in Chicago!
By ,
I love the atmosphere, products, and the people! You can't find a place like this where I'm from. I had my lip pierced there, and would recommend you to anyone looking to get pierced! I did notice that the girls section was a little more pricey. Over all, I love the experience every time I walk through the door! Keep doin' what you do, it works. ROCK ON! Thank you, Sandra Faulstich

The Alley rocks
I think the Alley should have a website first and foremost, and buy everything over in Japan or something to cut the prices.

i LOVE the experience of shopping @ the alley! from the people to the diverse collection of items for purchase ~ all around FUN place! great items for those who desire to start their own trend vs. eating up mainstream media's spoon-fed idea of "trendy."

Someplaces never loose their touch
By ,
I just visited this store and it had been 13 yrs. since I was last in there. One of my favorite stores back in the late '80s and early '90s. Back when the original Medusa's was located behind it "pre-Nirvana" era. Their items are definitely NOT mainstream and very unique, plus now they offer tons more than they did back when. I was hoping they'd have a website to order one item I regret not getting. I'll just need to find my way back there soon.
