Where should I go in Chicago?

I'm going to be visiting Chicago for one day on business next week. Before I leave, I might have a couple of hours to hit a local RPG shop. I'd particularly like to find one that has used books. Any ideas where I should go?

Hi-

Here are a couple of places:

Something Wicked in Evanston which is located on Church street.

Games Plus, in Mt. Prospect

Where in Chicago will you be (intersection or building address)? If you'll be downtown, it's unlikely that you be able to go to either of the places posted above if you have but two hours to do so. That's a shame because Games Plus is one of the best stores in the country. Also, when you say "used books" do you mean used RPG books? If so, can you be more explicit?

I don't know any places down town. Games Plus is pretty cool, but it's a bit of a hike from downtown.
 

I'll be in Maywood at Loyola Med Center.

Where is Games Plus? What's the quickest way to get there from Maywood?

Yes, I specifically meant used *RPG* books.

Anyone heard of Hobbytown USA? Is it any good?
 


Maywood isn't horribly far from Games-Plus. Probably 30 minutes by car. You'd want to drive west on Lake St. to Mannheim Road (ILL45) then north to NOrtwest Highway (IL14), then west to Main St. in Mt Prospect (IL83). Cross the tracks to the south, and turn west on Prospect Ave. Games Plus is right on the south side of the train tracks there, big blue building.

If you're referring to the Hobbytown in Oak Park, which is about 15 minutes from Loyola, it's got a pretty good gaming section, and the staff there is good at supporting RPGing.
