Mag Mile? Hell No We Won't Go!

Let's not participate in the typical corporate christmas clamor, the Local Shopping Tour has us exiting stage left and heading out for a movie and shopping. Reverend Billy has been fighting the commercialization of Christmas for years; you can skip out on the Mass and catch his new movie "What Would Jesus Buy?" at the Landmark Century theater on Clark just north of Diversy.

Stick with the ride as we head to DEPART-ment for some sweatshop free shopping thanks to local artisans who have been working like crafty little elves creating unique gifts you won't find in any box store. [www.depart-ment.com]
