That said, Eddie may be THE best gunsmith in the whole area. Krebs is great, but overall seems to have lost interest in dealing with the public, which is sad. Marc has always had a high sense of self-value while Eddie is very down to earth yet knows more about guns - of all types - than anyone I have run into. If you have a firearm that doesn't work (and a FOID card - Eddie is strict about the law, even the useless version in Cook County), bring it here. Or come around to chat with other gun guys, whether you are an old pro or a newbie. All are welcome. OTOH Amazon buyers like Bo Jangles will probably be happier going to Maxon or Cabelas, where you can buy a gun and not be "bothered" by people who love them.

When I got to the store, however, the bike was still in the box, and we were initially told that the associate responsible for building the bike was not at work yet, and the bike would not be ready until after 7:00 that night. Having traveled from Grayslake, I was a little irritated that they didn't have it ready when they said they would. Initially their solution was to ship the bike to the Gurnee store for pick up at a later date. Without going into more boring details, the store ended up offering a different, more expensive bike, that was already built. They honored the original bike's price, which was a few hundred dollars less than the bike we received. They also threw in a kickstand at no charge. What started out as a poor situation ended very well, and I commend the manager and associate (unfortunately, I don't have their names) who worked to make the situation a have happy ending.

I have found no deals on any golf clubs here in the last 6 yrs. If I find a club I need to fill a broken set, it is always priced too high (they are higher than any other Play It Again Sports (PIAS) by 20-500% for exact match club brands) and they are unwilling to negotiate a lower price except by less than 5%. By comparison to other Play It Again Sports - Shaumburg, Crystal, I was able to purchase the 2 needed clubs at 25% and 16% of the "negotiated" price of an identical club at the Waukegan Ave PIAS store. I do not recommend this store for any golf items. I will never again go to this store for any reason. It is not worth the trip (25 mi.) to waste my time. DB

This place is huge and they have a massive inventory of all things sports related. It's nice that you can still walk into a place and touch and feel the merchandise you might be interested in. On this visit, it was to look for a youth softball mitt that I will be gifting to one of the grand-darlings. The last time I was in a DICK's, it was to buy a White Sox cap and it was a couple years back when they were doing a wee bit better than they are this year! The pricing here does generally seem a bit elevated but that comes with the brick-and mortar business and the privilege of inspecting what you're buying. Who remembers Sportsmart, or Sports Authority, or further back Herman's? They're all gone now, and I think DICK's is it these days for sporting goods. I'm glad they are still at it for us.

In a few months I will be running an out of state half marathon in the Mojave desert and was asking…read moremy FB running community if they had any suggestions for running gear to prepare for the elements. I got a number of responses and a lot of them were things I didn't even think I would need but found extremely useful. I haven't done a half marathon in almost 10 years and I forgot how important it was to properly fuel myself for endurance runs. These days nutrition and electrolyte tabs aren't cutting it for me anymore. I don't want to hit a wall once I start hitting the 8-10 mile marker so energy gels have been helping me push through with ease and REI has plenty of them. They mostly carry the GU brand and HoneyStinger. I've been trying out flavors and found a couple that I like. REI despite their items being on the pricier side have great selection and quality gear. I was able to get everything I needed in prep for race day. I didn't encounter any issues with staff. It felt more like, "We'll leave you alone unless you need something." I'm totally fine with that. It's an upscale comprehensive sporting goods store with a good amount of items in stock. I was actually impressed with the women's shoe selection. They had more HOKAs in stock compared to Road Runner Sports in Wilmette. I know I could've easily gotten HOKAs online but I'm the type (especially when it comes to apparel and shoes) to want to test items out in person for fit. Had I known they had better availability with more colors in stock, I would've bought my shoes here. REI is granola and you'll need to bring your own bag to shop. They are officially bagless and no longer provide single-use shopping bags at checkout. Parking is easy since it's nestled within a strip mall. I was able to get a spot in front with no issues.
