(Part of my very occasional Travel Post Friday series here on the blog)

While wandering around the resurgent Wicker Park/Bucktown neighborhood in Chicago before the SOBCon business conference, I stumbled across the T-Shirt Deli. It was cleverly laid out like a real delicatessen, but with t-shirts as the offering instead of provolone and salami.

I need another t-shirt in my closet like I need a hole in my head, but I could not resist this one. Even if you aren’t a fan of the 1986 Beastie Boys debut album “Licensed to Ill,” it’s hard not to smile at the play on words.

Warning:  although I bought the biggest women’s t-shirt size they carry, it still runs über-small. I’m looking at it as a get-in-shape motivator. 🙂
