I've groused occasionally in the past about the lack of good CD shopping
opportunities in Chicago.  On last weekend's trip I found the new (?)
Virgin Megastore on the "Magnificent Mile," somewhat south of the 
Water Tower.  It's a classic big-city CD shop, and I found all sorts of
goodies there, including discs by Lo'Jo and the Terem Quartet which 
I thought would have to be ordered from Europe.  I was mostly poking 
through the World Music section and it was pretty decently stocked.
 
The staff was chatty and knowledgable, and I ended up buying three 
of the discs playing in different parts of the story: Celia Cruz, the 
new Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington reissue, and a collection of 
piano studies based on Chopin.  I really enjoyed lolling around in 
the classical section since classical CD shopping in Ann Arbor has 
taken such a hit this year.
