Neighborly
2003 W. Montrose Ave., 773-840-2456, neighborlyshop.com
This low-key North Center shop is the brainchild of the people behind Ork Posters, a local screenprinting company best known for its ubiquitous typographic neighborhood maps. Opened last fall, Neighborly carries throw pillows, ceramics, blankets, candleholders, goodies for the bath, and a heap of other charming home accessories made by local and indie designers—all with a modern bent and at affordable prices.
