There's at least one decent store here in Ottawa, a city that is fairly small compared with Chicago. I also know of one in Toronto, on Yonge near Bloor. Also, some of the larger chains such as Chapters/Indigo keep all the SF (and the fantasy) separate from general fiction, so that should make tracking SF book sales do-able.
Talk about a no-brainer for us women...
A purse is pretty much the way to go - if you're Canadian, Mountain Equipment Coop has some great shoulder bags, especially the ones with the handy sunglasses pouch.
There are also those Prada-inspired nylon purses. You can fit all of the above, a game-boy, a couple of those O'Reilly pocket guides and a makeup bag in a larger style. I've even squeezed a pda and cell phone in an evening bag.
