Your dilemma was foreseeable: You and your family have outgrown your 2-bedroom condo in one of Chicago’s hip neighborhoods, the congestion around you has reached epic proportions (two errands on a Saturday morning equal an investment of 90 minutes of your time), and your condo board just approved a gigantic special assessment.

After much research and many open-house Sundays, you’ve decided to move to Edgebrook. Good for you! And now you’re wondering how you can run 11 errands (instead of two) in 90 minutes, on a Saturday morning, and be back home in time to catch college football on TV. Easy-peasy, and I’ll show you how to do it.

When you live in Edgebrook (or in Sauganash, for that matter), you are actually very likely to do the bulk of your shopping at two shopping centers in Niles and in Skokie: Pointe Plaza shopping Center (PP), north of Touhy Ave., and across from Village Crossing Mall (VC), south of Touhy Ave. The dividing line between Niles and Skokie here is Central Ave. Which means that if you’re shopping at VC, the western part of the mall is located in Niles, and the eastern part of the mall is located in Skokie. PP is located entirely in Niles, as it doesn’t spread out east past Central Ave. There is another important shopping center in Niles that is home of two big box stores, Target and Costco. This mall is located at the intersection of Touhy Ave. and Melvina Ave. Click on the map below to see your options in detail, although a number of small retail outlets that do business in the two above mentioned shopping centers are not captured on the map. I didn’t want to take all the fun out of your “tour de discovery”. Later on next week, I’ll add more info to this map about shopping opportunities in downtown Edgebrook.
