Turn left, or East on Irving Park and proceed, a long way, to Southport Ave.(1400 W.) Turn right, or South, and go to Belmont Ave. (3200 N.), then turn left, or East again and we're 4 & 1/2 blocks down (923 W.

Directions for public transportation
In Chicago it's called The CTA (Chicago Transit Authority.) We are steps from the Red Line, Brown Line and Purple Line stops (stations) at Belmont Ave. (All three Lines stop at the same station.) Walk East less than 1/2 block to 923 W. Belmont (on South side of Belmont Ave.)

All other "Color Coded" Lines connect to each other in the Loop. Connections are easily found at any CTA station by map or by inquiry.

Walking directions
From the Loop, by foot: It is about 5 miles or so as the crow flies from the intersection of Madison Ave. and State St. (00 North-00 South / 00 East-00 West) to the shop. Healthy walkers can make it in 1 & 1/2 to 2 hours of steady, minimally distracted walking. Allow more time if you're a visitor, of course. There are lots of distractions in Chicago. And there are only a few, and these are heavily disguised, flights of the crow in Chicago.
