I went into the retail store Filoni on Oak Park Avenue recently and was so excited to find two perfect sweaters on the sale rack that I had to add to my wardrobe. I also bought some delicious tea and a book and asked the owner, Shari, how long Filoni has been open, to which she answered, “18 years.” How wonderful to have this beautifully curated store in the Hemingway Shopping District for so long. I hope Filoni and other retailers in our community continue to thrive.
