[US] Closed LEGO Store - Chicago

OldTownBricks

This is probably not the best section to put this in, but does anyone know where the original LEGO store in Chicago was? 

It was an old-style store on the second floor of a Magnificent Mile mall. I think there was a brick-built dragon winding through the store. 

It was the first LEGO store I had ever been to circa ~2003.

If memory serves me correctly it was in the Merchandise Mart. It was the first official LEGO Store I went to. Must have been around 20 years ago that I went there.

Was able to find this article maybe the northbridge one is the one your thinking of. https://www.google.com/amp/s/chicago.racked.com/platform/amp/2011/5/14/7764771/breaking-lego-opening-next-door-to-american-girl-place-in-water-tower

Looking at the current pictures, I think it was the Shops at Northbridge one! That was my first time seeing a Pick-A-Brick.
