Both of those are great shops! I will probaby head down to Shred Shop this week too. I stopped in 2 weeks ago and they didn't have any wake gear out yet but hope that changes soon.
Did you make it to the shop? I am hoping to go tomorrow or Thursday.
At 21 and Aptikisic in Lincolnshire you have a ton of good restraunts and across the street you have Cubbyhole Bear which is a decent bar. You also have a lot of stuff just north too
