Back in the disco 70s, we would always stay at one of those old cheap hotels in North Chicago's Jewish ghetto when in town selling the stainless steel instant reversal "dual polarity" VITA MIX 3600.
So now the one that we liked the most is the new hot spot while in town to see Andy Warhol's latest art tourist show at ACME HOTEL INC.
Usually we were working some pitch joint at the MCCORMICK CENTER; either the home and garden show; or maybe the car show.
Back when the CHICAGO TRIBUNE was still a real solid newspaper that one could trust.
And Paul Harvey was on the AM radio every day at noon; giving us the rest of the story.
Not to mention that PLAYBOY was still being published from there.
And Heff's billionaire Scottish castle [PLAYBOY MANSION] shag pad out in LA was just the frosting on the cake.
For when a billion dollars in free publicity was still a lot of money.
Not like today, when everybody and his dog up in funky Ed Town is some ten cent two bit millionaire.
