With Governor Pritzker's extension of his "Shelter in Place" order moving its 
close from April 7th through April 30th, Alternate Reality has decided to reopen 
on a restricted basis. Beginning on Tuesday April 7th we will re-open on the 
following limited/restricted basis... 
 
Noon to 6:00pm, 
Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Saturday 
BY APPOINTMENT ONLY 
773.881.4376 
 
Why appointment? Because while we do take the "Shelter in Place" order seriously 
we also have many customers who have been in contact with us needing the 
"non-essential" items we have. To limit exposure and maintain social distancing 
we are take 12 appointments a day, one every half hour between Noon and 6:00pm 
on the days listed. We think almost fifty, 30 minute appointments during the 
week is ample time for people to shop during a "Shelter in Place" order. With 
just two of us in the store at a time "social distancing" should take care of 
itself, it's not as if there will be a chance of you bumping into anyone else 
during your stay.  
 
To make an appointment all you have to do is call the store and we'll find a 
time that works for you. Please do not come to the store without an appointment, 
if we are taking care of an appointment customer we will not be able to let you 
in while others are present, for the safety of all concerned.  
 
Curbside Service? 
 
Many stores are offering this and so are we, at the hours and times listed 
above. No appointment is necessary since you won't be entering the store 
(curbside),  but you will need to call ahead be to sure we have your items 
and to place the order. You can either pay ahead or pay when you pull up however 
we can only hold unpaid orders until the end of the day.   
 
Mail Order? 
 
The old stand by. Want to make an order but can't get to the store? We can ship 
your order out to you via USPS Priority Mail. Exact shipping charged, inquire 
about derails. 
 
And that's where we're at as of now. The 032520 shipping was the last new comic 
shipping and none are anticipate for the month of April. But in the meantime we 
still have a store full of stock so if you're itching for a comic experience 
dial us up and we'll see what we can do. Until we return to something 
approaching normal, remember social distancing, wash your hands often and road 
trip when necessary.
