I was in the area, meandering about really digging the morning. It was my day off, The Birthday Masaacre whole catalog in rotation. Window shopping, just rolling through a part of town I hadn't hoofed through for a while. I have a medical card and for economy sake, I try to stick with my usual dispensary but thought it would be a good idea to check out how the rec places operate.
Here's what it liked:
The shop was just a little smaller than average. It felt cozy, colorful and brightly lit. Front door staff and security folks were both friendly and greeted me warmly.
Its recreational but they do offer a discount for med patients. Thats cool.
It appears that it's discount season in the herb biz right now so most things were already discounted hugely. In short the prices are RIGHT. I havent done item to item comparison of costs but it looks, to me, that with other discount and promos and whatnot prices looked just about as good as what one may expect doing the card at a medical designated spot.
The attendant that I interacted with was friendly and not just a little humorous, crackin jokes, very chill. (I suck so bad with names. We ARE talking about retail THC a-la carte) She was quite helpful and spoke with confidence about the products. I just picked up a 2g disposable vape. Trust me, there ARE indeed, many important variables in choosing. My person of the morning was right there with me in collaboration. I got out with exactly what I needed. Potent, tasty, and HUGE. Im still honking on this bad boy.
Purchasing as a first time customer, I was also easily enrolled with Bud n Rita on the spot which now makes all my basics available, including the med discount off the top, automatic.
Ive been back twice since my initial visit. Bud N Rita got a good operation in West Town.
I think this is a kind of reflection of the Herb biz in Chicago. Over the years since going legal, this experience strikes me as a small shift, new gen, what if I said NEW WAVE?
I can get with that.
This location is just blocks away from Chicago public art landmark: Shit Fountain on Wolcott.
THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE.
