Alley (The), Chicago

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.
