"The Brown Elephant, Andersonville. Skip the Salvation Army and head to the Brown Elephant if you want your spending money to benefit a better source. The thrift shop serves as a fundraising tool for Howard Brown Health Center, serving Chicago’s LGBTQ community. If you’re more into aging architecture than secondhand sweaters, pop by to gander at the decaying details of the historic theater housing the Brown Elephant."
