Ashland Addison Florist
Ashland Addison has been in Chicago since 1932 when S. Roy Sheffield was first paid with flowers instead of cash by local flowers growers for helping cart their flowers to the market. He then would sell the flowers to people by the streetcars. The streetcars are gone now, but they are still preparing flower arrangements for all occasions. They even offer baked goods from BomBon Bakery. You can’t go wrong with flowers and cookies!
