L'Myreo's is a great shop is you're looking to save money on all your skateboard needs. Everytime I go there and ask questions everyone knows what they are talking about and give good details to why you should shop there instead of a department store. They have a donation box full of extra parts and sometimes decks to give to kids who need a certain part or don't have enough money to get a board. Overall their customer service is great, treating each customer like a friend. Never going anywhere else. Happy there's a shop like this in Chicago. ...read more
