Can I find black egg crate anywhere in the Chicago area?

I live in Iowa and cannot find any near me. It's expensive to ship, so I'm hoping that I can pick some up when I'm in Chicago next month. Any ideas on where I may be able to find a sheet?
 
Ah thank you! I'd still like to hear any other possibilities, and I'll call the closest location to verify they have it when I'm in town.
 
Great thank you! Hopefully one of those stores has it in stock the day I can stop by. (never hurts to check out the fish and corals while I visit too....)
 
Already looked at online options and shipping that alone is expensive due to the size. I need it relatively soon for a project I'm working on, so I'm not waiting for my local club to do a group by. This is why I'm asking for stores I can check when I'm in that area in a few weeks.
 
krylon fusion will make egg crate any color you want. the black stuff sinks which is nice, but a trip to menards or lowes could get you set in a few hours. Krylon Fusion is completely reef safe once cured.
 

That's awesome, thanks!

I will still make note of the stores that usually have it in case that's sold by the time I make it that way.

I have heard the suggestion of krylon before, but I'm really not sure how you can evenly coat inside the corners of egg crate evenly, and it's sure to drive me crazy if it doesn't look right.

I'd rather just go through the hassle to find what I want.

Thanks again for all the suggestions given!
