We are taking a trip to The Chicago area this weekend and I'd love to visit a real CD store as we don't have any near me. Anyone have a recommendation?
Be Bye Baby has an OK selection (in Roscoe Village, on the North Side). It's a good store in general, though - their selection of nursing bras is awesome.

I don't actually know Chicago, but I know there are stores there. The reason I ask is bc the suburbs are also "Chicago" and one end could be 2 hours from the other.

So true. Chicago encompasses a huge area
And if you were coming from Wisconsin, I'd tell you to stop in at RG Natural in Racine.
I live in the Chicago suburbs, but I've never been to a decent cloth diaper store around here.

That's what I was thinking. I am NW suburbs and I would LOVE to be able to feel quality and play around with different styles before I spent money on them

Dekalb is really not all that close to Chicago (in traffic easily 90+ minutes). Your best bet is going to be something in the Western burbs. There's a place called comfy bummy diapers in Naperville - I've never heard of them, but if you're just going to see some brands in person it looks like they carry BumGenius, Bummies, and Thirsties. Not a very good selection, sorry.

Comfy Bummy just closed down their store for the next 9 months or so. :-( They'll stay online, but that doesn't really help. :-)
There's actually a cloth diaper store locates in Dekalb. It's a boutique that doesn't have regular hours, but you can contact them to set up a time, I believe. The website with contact info is expressyourselfmama.com
There's also one in South Elgin, which shouldn't be too far for you. It's called Fluff Envy. My favorite local store!

We ended up going to fluff envy because we happened to pass it. They had a nice selection and I ended up picking up two covers, two tots bots, a wet bag and some CJ's! I would definitely recommend!
Re: Chicago CD store?
I haven't been to either of them but I believe there are two stores on the north side of the city.
