Located in the former home of KStarke Records, Wild Prairie takes its name from a song by Chicago hip-hop producer trio Molemen. The shop carries vintage clothing in addition to a concise but deep collection of obscure house, jazz, soul, reggae and Italo disco LPs. Co-owners Natasha Rac and Alex Gonzales often host parties soundtracked by local DJs at the store—plus, the pair owns a Shiba Inu that can sometimes be found hanging around the mannequins and shelves.
