Andersonville’s charming Clark street corridor will make you feel like you’ve been transported out of the city and on to a small town main street. The historically Swedish neighborhood has remained true to its roots, honoring the past while nurturing pride in the present. If you want to surround yourself with art, antiques, independent businesses and queer community, Andersonville is the place to go.
Wrought iron trellises climb the walls, while bundles of twigs float from the ceiling.
Are you fresh out of your supply of animal jaw bones, extracted teeth or archaic medical instruments? Woolly Mammoth is the neighborhood go-to to stock up on all sorts of eclectic oddities. The atmosphere might feel macabre if it weren’t for the brightly colored walls and artful love with which the shop has been stocked. Upon entering be prepared to lock eyes with a furry friend since past as the shop’s most impressive collection is that of taxidermied critters.
