Who says we don’t have retail in Downtown? DESERT BLOOM 27 N. Stone Ave., 792-9882. Claudette Myers promises the fashionable woman that if she wants to be up-to-speed with European clothing trends, she can find it at Desert Bloom. “I have arty apparel pieces from France, London, and The Netherlands. Everything in here is the most contemporary in fashion.” Meyers says her customer base includes the well-heeled and well-traveled woman, but her offerings encompass every style taste and price range. “It’s everything from the chic sophistication of the European lines to everyday fashion wear.” Desert Bloom also sells jewelry, shoes and other accessories along with eclectic knickknacks. Open Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. Desert Bloom is also open during downtown events, including the Downtown Parade of Lights and Fox Theatre shows. downtow n BLACK ROSE TATTOO 47 S. 6th Ave., 388-9091.

Part museum, part warehouse and all musical emporium, there is no place on Earth that even remotely resembles this venerable downtown landmark and institution. And there is not a working musician in town (as well as many touring pros), who do not know about the Chicago Store. Looking for an instrument—any instrument--they’ve got it. The only trick might be in picking your way through a few piles of stuff to find and then retrieve the item that suits your needs best. Be advised this is not an elegant shopping experience. But if you or your loved ones are looking for a used instrument or accessory, this could be the place. Keyboards, drums, drum accessories, brass and reed instruments, and literally mountains of guitars are there for the taking. PA equipment also abounds. Also, don’t be put off by the term “used” as there is lots of stuff that is either new or barely used. And if you’re into percussion, check out the extensive selection of congas, bongos and related rhythm toys that sit in the huge front window displays that look out onto Congress St. One final note…feel free to treat this experience like a trip to Nogales where bargaining can be an integral part of the culture and experience. The Chicago Store is open Monday-Saturday 9 am - 6 pm. – Jim Lipson DAWN STEWART CONTEMPORARY JEWELERS MAHLIA COLLECTION 186 N. Meyer/201 N. Court Ave., 323-0007.
