Back to Our Old Stomping Grounds-- Part 5: Scott's Collectibles
We were back at Westfield Mall, which was Hawthorne Mall when we lived in Vernon Hills and used to go back to it. Scott's Collectibles had its start in Lake Villa, Illinois, on Il-83. Back in the 90s, it was mostly beer collectibles.
We bought out best piece of bar stuff there, the revolving Hamm's Beer sign, dating to the 50s-60s way back when. He has since moved to malls and according to the clerk, they have three stores, including one at that huge Woodfield Mall.
After sufficiently salivating, I decided to spend $40 for a White Sox heritage scroll, which had embroidered Sox emblems from over the years of the club.
Liz bought a big Cub Wrigley Field pennant.
