After shutting down Logan Square record store Logan Hardware, owner John Ciba took some of his remaining inventory to Rogers Park and opened this verdant, unconventional shop. True to its name, Electric Jungle is packed with potted plants, but the way that records are presented to customers is the its most noteworthy trait. A rotating selection of used records is loaded into several rolling laundry carts each day, making it easy to encounter an entirely different array of LPs upon repeat visits. Don't come expecting to snap a photo—the use of cellphones and cameras are banned inside of Electric Jungle so that you can focus on shopping for music.
