Dave's has been around for awhile; I first visited before my oldest was born, now I take her kids there. Just a great place, full of wonderful finds at all price levels. My grandsons have bought many small treasure there, and I have picked up some neat items over the years, too. This is as much a natural history museum as a store, and its staff is always welcoming and ready to answer a kid's question. A must place to visit in Evanston!
