By our account, one of the first anchor businesses in Ukrainian Village. Go to Smoke Daddy's for lunch and stop by D/Vision on your way home! Gorgeous frames and sunglasses, at very decent prices, from possibly the coolest shop owners in Chicago. Dr. Ezra is our favorite optometrist.

Our neighbors to the east - a delightful little organic garden shop filled with beautiful vases, indoor plants, birdbaths, gardening supplies, and (surprisingly!) premium pet foods. Amazing selection of herbs in the summer, and none of the stodginess found at some North Side garden centers. We think it's the best in the city!

Our source for natural latex mattresses, located in Virginia. We first discovered Savvy Rest because we hated our own first latex mattress (made by a different company!) and have found that in their policies and mattress design, they've fixed all the problems! A great little company, run by an owner with a conscience. We regularly stock all of their products.

Our most lovely supplier of wool bedding, based in Montague, California. If you've found our information helpful and would like to support us, please feel free to order bigger non-stock items straight from Shepherd's Dream, with referral code "PC250". Tell them you're coming from Bower, and then let us know at bowerchicago@gmail.com so that we can send you a thank-you gift!

We're proud to be a part of the second annual Green Scene festival on Northside’s grounds along the Chicago River. Please join us and support our local businesses and green organizations!
