I first visited Powell's the summer they opened in Portland.  Old man Powell gave me work cleaning up another property he owned.  

Their current location was long notable for the regularly scheduled reek of the Blitz-Weinhard brewery located on the block to the west, but it's since been gentrified.

The original Powell's is in Hyde Park, near the University of Chicago, it was a let down when I finally got there.  

But The Seminary Coop, https://www.semcoop.com/, is a must visit in Chicago.  Check out the Front Table on their website.

They might. But I'm spending a good portion of my income at the local ones. If you're visiting book stores, you must visit this one. A whole city block, multiple floors:

And stop using Amazon. 8^D
