In this episode, you’ll hear Sally’s story with vintage, and how she came to lead the Randolph Street Market in the Chicago West Loop for the last 20 years.

Then, we head in to Chicago’s most beloved treasure hunt to enjoy the music, food, and of course - vintage dealers! You’ll get to hear from a small sampling of the 200 Randolph Street market vendors later on in this episode because I’m taking you into the market with us (me and my mom) for a day of exploring the best vintage Chicagoland has on offer, and chatting with vintage dealers about the special pieces they brought along.
