Power Shopping

Of course, for real "Power Shopping," nothing beats the malls and downtown stores of Chicago, and they're only a couple of hours away. For a similar big-city experience, with a little less stressful traffic, try Indianapolis, too: great malls and a thriving downtown. Spend a weekend in either city - you'll love the shopping and the excitement, but you'll also come to appreciate the pace of life back in Elkhart, too. Call me for some great shopping and restaurant tips.
