With you being from IL, you could travel up here to MI where there are a few good shops here, but it will most likely take you a bit out of the way though since you can take I-80/90 (toll road) straight through IN to OH and eastward.

I know there is Train Express there in Indianapolis that would be a great visiting spot, depending of course on what route you plan to take.

If you are taking Rt. 80, you will probably be going up 287 in New Jersey. The Train Station is in Mountain Lakes, which would be on the way. It is only a short ride off the highway and they have lots of stuff and lots of old and new with everything in between. Go to www.train-station.com . They have a "map to the store" where you can get an idea if it is within your travel range.
Be Safe,
Dennis
