Oh wow, OK, this is very interesting to see here. If you're living in Chicago consider yourself lucky of having a store like that opening up in your area.

Seems like we heard about this months ago; I guess what's new is the opening date?

Anyways, it'll be within walking distance of Anime Central, at least if you can cross Balmoral Ave or N River Rd without dying, so that'll be fun. Also, the Fashion Outlets are a popular EV charging location, so getting some gunpla while you charge wouldn't be a bad way to spend 30 minutes.

MAN, I just moved from Chicago to my new place in the southern US. That place would have been super close. Now I feel a little regret for moving.

Yeah, this is a relatively easy walk from Anime Central. (I regularly see convention-goers walk farther than this going to restaurants in the area.) I'll have to find time while there next year to check it out.

I'm not much of a Gundam fan myself, but this is very cool! Next time my husband and I take a trip down there for Mitsuwa, just might check this out.
