Mp Mall

Never did I know this place was here until yesterday when I decided to venture inside and look around thanks to a lady who works at the place passing out flyers the day before. Funny, knowing that I grew up on the west side of Chicago, leaving here around Halloween 2002 and returning just three weeks ago. This place has been here since 1994. I never knew about it, and I’m sorry that I didn’t.
Hey, they may not have as many vendors as the flea markets on 26^th Street in Pilsen or the Swap-​O-​Ramas, but it’s well worth the trip. There’s a tattoo/​body piercing store inside here that would do a nose piercing for $ 10, yep that’s right, $ 10. I’m trying to get as many body piercings as I possibly can, so I might as well stop at this place for my first ever body piercing, a nose piercing.
Upstairs, on Madison, there’s a jewelry place that has an entrance leading to the MP Mall, and while looking around in there yesterday, there was a guy selling clip-​on earrings for $ 1 each pair! Big ones too! I love clip-​on earrings now! So this is just one reason out of many for me to return and shop til I drop. Also inside that store, there is a ton of jewelry that is strictly cubic zirconia, now I’m a HUGE, HUMONGOUS fan of CZ, so this fact alone is a definite draw to this place.
Honestly, I’m sorry that I never took out the time to visit this place, or know about it, but I guess it’s a hidden gem in my old stomping grounds that I have finally unearthed. But then again, hey, you can’t know about everything in your area.

I love shopping here! The stores are great. The clothes can be a little pricey, but then again they are designer urban fashions such as Baby Phat or Rocawear. I usually go there during the summer because their winter clothes are not that cute. Plus, it is a little congested with the heavy traffic on Madison, but over all this is a great place to shop for casual wear.
