So I figured I'd finally check this place out - the fabled source of all the shirts - and also take care of some errands on the way. Armed with my curiosity, intuition, Mapquest directions to 4043 N Ravenswood Ave, and the Rocketbird I wanted to exchange, I set out from my abode in Oak Park.
First mistake: Don't do this during rush hour. It took me an hour to go the supposed 10 miles. Anyway, when I finally spied the Ravenswood Ave sign out of the corner of my eye, I immediately turned left into a tiny, dark street full of foreboding, worn-down warehouses with no doors, much less street numbers. A good 15 minutes and probably two trespassing violations later, I finally figure it might be a good idea to maybe check out the other side of the tracks, since there seemed to be nothing here. Sure enough, within a few minutes, I found myself on an open street was soon face-to-face with the fabled 4043 N Ravenswood. I saw the button labeled "106 skinnyCorp/Threadless", held my breath, pressed it, and... Nothing. I pressed it again. Nothing. When the hell are your hours anyway?
