Southwest Book & Video
7733 S Cicero Ave, Chicago, IL 60652
Our take
EditorialSouthwest Book & Video on Cicero Avenue has operated in southwest Chicago since 1977. Reviews lean on an associate for friendly, professional help with birthday and bridal-shower party prep, and the store carries a wide selection of toys, lubes, and party supplies. The cautions: the store reportedly keeps no change for cash payers, some products are flagged as low quality including a claim that the Rush brand sold may not be authentic, and the no-return, no-exchange policy is strict. A fit for southwest-Chicago regulars comfortable with cash-no-change and no returns, worth verifying authenticity on poppers before buying.
