i make Target runs in chicago. not because i need to buy anything to use in chicago, but because i get to expense my cab ride there and back, and because i don't have to lug my purchases from the subway back to my apt since i will just stuff everything into my roller bag, carry it on board the flight, take it off the plane and bring it to the car that takes me to my doorstep. MUCH MUCH MUCH easier than getting on the NR train to atlantic ave. targets in new york suck anyway- far too small, messy, dirty and you know, just lacking that sprawling suburban mall feel i so love about big box retailers.
