GAMES PLUS! WOOHOO!
I love this store--I buy something EVERY time I am in there without fail (though sometimes it's only one or two dice...). The owners are great guys, there are miniatures everywhere, and they have a huge game room. It's the home of the EN Chicago Gameday 1 and hopefully a 2nd one as well!
As far as I know of, it's the best gaming store in the Chicago-land area, and even though it's 30-40 minutes away from my home sweet home, it's the closest gaming shop there is.
They have a pretty good auction coming up too--check out the site for more details

Okay...
Games Plus is a larger facility. I used to head down that way way back when to visit a shop run by Lou Quigley, rest his soul.
But Dennis is a great guy, so anyone in the neighborhood should drop by Game Guild and check it out.

Obviously it's unnecessary, but I'll add another HUGE approval for Games Plus. I live in the Loop and make the drive out to GP once every other month or so to stock up on new releases. They have a "buy $X worth of stuff over Y months and get a $Z credit" system - I don't remember the exact numbers, but I know I got $10 off my last $60 purchase as a result.
I suspect other gaming stores also do this, but I love the fact that GP hangs its minis in numerical order. That way I can check online catalogs ahead of time and figure out what I want, and I don't have to spend an hour looking at every card back on the wall.

See you this summer when the exodus to Wisconsin is in full swing, eh?
