MWA Report
THE guide for gettin your crip ass into the cool places in Chicago!
Qvimby's Qveer Store is at 1328 N. Damen, 773/342.0910
Qvimby's is the coolest zine/alternative book shop in Chicago. IMHO. They
also have these really cool boxes and art prints from freaky artists...
Rating Qvimby's isn't too hard.
How accessible is it?
No steps. Entry way is a little steep maybe, but not bad at all.
How problematic are the staff?!
Staff: Steven & Sherri are totally cool and jump to help you
with anything you can't reach.
How problematic are the other patrons?!
Patrons: 
I give em one, but it isn't malicious. People
just get involved in their browsing, and don't notice anything going on
around them. Just tap them or ask them to let you by.
The only accessibility issue that I found was not being able to reach things
occasionally, but if there isn't someone browsing next to you that will
grab it Steven or Sherri--the proprieters will get you anything you can't
reach, no problem. The aisles are wide enough and everything.
Madeline, their daughter, is a little nervous of wheelchairs yet, but she
is getting over her shyness really fast.
Qvimby's RULES. Shop there.
