Since I live in northwest Wilmette, Northfield is my closest shopping and library. A few of my favorite spots are Stormy's (best patty melt by far), Heritage Trail Mercantile (I have a booth here and it's the classiest antique mall you will ever visit), and The Canvasback. I love supporting this town.
