So if you want to feel like royalty, pop a squat on the seat that has every character of the acclaimed HBO series reeling. Don&#8217;t forget to take a picture of your king or queenliness on the Throne (or if you got that Lannister money and feel like ballin&#8217; out, drop in to buy a shiny new iPhone or Android and take a picture on the Throne while you&#8217;re at it).<\/p>\n<p>The AT&amp;T store on Michigan Avenue is open from\u00a010am &#8211; 8pm, Monday through Saturday, and 11am &#8211; 6pm on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The highly anticipated premiere of Season 7 of Game of Thrones aired on July 16, and astonishingly, there are only four episodes left this year, until it returns for a final six airings marking the show&#8217;s conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not caught up with the current season (or worse, the previous), then you better start your binge! Stay tuned for more updates on Game of Thrones attractions on Michigan Avenue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cersei might be sitting on it right now, and at the rate she&#8217;s
