My favorite shop used to be the "Adult Books" store (with the generic yellow sign) up on I-94 around Kenosha. But I guess those shops got demolished. They had a great selection and it was wonderful to be able to go look at and try out things in person before buying them, as opposed to ordering online and hoping for the best.

But since they're gone, I don't know where to go. Any suggestions?

Though clothing would be good to know, too.

Note:  It's a three dollar donation to get into the IML event, but well worth it.  http://www.imrl.com/visitorguide/market.php
