SHOPPING LAST MINUTE?! THEN SHOP LOCAL.

CHICAGO – Holiday shoppers made last minute stops around Chicago the night before Christmas Eve. Over at A Pied, store owner Trudy Robinson-Foley said the amount of last minute shoppers may not be as much as last year, but shopping is up.

“It’s really dead for a couple weeks, but I think now this weekend finally people realize that you kind of miss Christmas if you don’t get your gifts at a local store right now,” she said.
