Pagoda Red has cool stuff and it's a beautiful space.
There's a store on Western south of Chicago (west side of the street) that looks interesting. It has modern furniture in the window, but I can't think of the name. It might start with an "e."
Anyone been there?

epicine
618 N. Western Ave.

I'd add Richard Gormans shop on Wells & Chicago ...MANIFESTO
I'd add PRIMITIVES and ASSEMBLAGE on Jefferson.
I'd add Urban Remains @ 410 N. Peoria.
I'd add Douglas Dawson @ 400 N. Morgan-312.226.7975..
I'd add the entire 1st floor of the Merchandise Mart's Luxe Home showroom setup- as well as Holly Hunt on 18(you don't need to be "in-the-trade" to shop there- just to make a purchase....
Defineately GOLDEN TRIANGLE's new showroom is a MUST see!@ 330 N. Clark- with a Parking Lot too!

Twosided is actually at 2958 N. Clark -- I just looked it up because I didn't remember anything like that at Clark & Wrightwood, which I pass by daily...
I'll also mention Lightology since I work for the company and hadn't seen it mentioned yet. Our 20,000 sq. ft. modern lighting showroom at 215 W. Chicago Ave. is quite impressive!

Another vote for Praha, and one for the Ark thrift shop.

Verde on Armitage

I tend to find nice little things at Willow. And if you are in the neighborhood I recommend stopping by Milk & Honey for some yogurt and granola. My favorite breakfast! I also second the recommendation for Holly Hunt (since she is local and my husband works there), but she does have showrooms in other cities and NYC's is actually a bit better.

Definitley Willow on Damen, very unique goods (ask about the Mr.Moustache pillow)!
Also, Penelopes should not be missed!

My BF lives in Carol Springs and he checked out Jubilee Furniture for me after it was posted on AT the first time. He said it was nothing special.
I insisted on seeing it in person, so we went by this past weekend. I would hardly call it a treasure-trove of MCM! Definitely NOT worth the trip in from downtown. Oh, unless you need a lot of HON office furniture.
