Chicago Comics when I can, Graham Crackers when I'm pressed for time. (Which, unfortunately, is most often.) I'm down in Hyde Park, so it's either 20 minute schlep to the loop, or a forty-five minute haul to Clark and Belmont.
See, I'm originally from Rhode Island; anything over 20 minutes might as well be an epic journey across time and space.
Hah!
I know where you're coming from, since I spent most of my childhood in Hawaii. People think you're crazy if you drive half an hour for lunch. Somehow I became the opposite, though.
When I was visiting my girlfriend in St Charles, we went to Clark and Belmont just to get some boots at the Alley. (you'd be surprised how hard it is to get good boots in St. Louis!) Last time I was back in St. Louis, we drove to downtown Chicago just to visit the Art Institute and have some Gino's and Goose Island. Hell of a day trip.
