Logan Square has a little bit of everything in a way that makes many of us flock to the hip little neighborhood. A rare vintage toy shop is now being added to the Square according to this DNAinfo article by Paul Biasco. Gerardo Salamanca’s shop is called 84 Chicago, and although from the outside it looks like just another storefront with drinks and household necessities, it is anything but inside. Rare toys from the 90s and before are hidden away within.
“The real show is behind a shelved wall of cereal, hot sauces and snacks that rotates 90 degrees to reveal Salamanca’s secret clubhouse at 2507 N. Milwaukee Ave,” explains Biasco. The rare toy cove will only be open on weekends and by appointment though. So far, we know that the most expensive toy is a transformer priced at $5,000. Be sure to check this place out when it officially opens in November.
