Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.
Next week, we'll be rolling out our 2014 Racked Awards—ten categories recognizing some of Chicago's top shops and services, everything from Best Store for Shopping on a Budget to Best Place to Treat Yo Self.
This year's Racked Awards includes two Readers' Choice Awards, Best Shopping Center and Best Neighborhood for Shopping. Where do you love to shop?
Polls close Wednesday, October 1st.
