• 1 Golf Mill Shopping Center, 239 Golf Mill Center. The prototypical suburban indoor shopping center, anchored by Kohl's, Target, and JC Penney. The mall, opened in 1960, features a strange tower designed to look like a golf ball (putting a spin on the mall's uncreative name—it's at the corner of Golf and Milwaukee, after all). As these kinds of malls are going the way of the dodo, this could be a tourist destination one day. (updated Jun 2019)

• 1 Graziano's Brick Oven Pizza, 5960 W Touhy Ave. Traditional Italian fare, including pizza and huge servings of pasta. The star of the show here is the endless servings of the strangely delicious house bread and side salad that come with meals. (updated Jun 2019)
